It was almost exactly 10 years ago, August 28, 2008, to be exact, and what a lovely moment in the middle of a bruising presidential campaign.
After the announcement that Senator McCain has discontinued further medical treatment for his brain cancer, people from across the political spectrum are sending warm wishes to the Senator and his family. With one exception:
Saturday morning update:Trump and White House are silent amid McCain newshttps://t.co/QdzCpgXutm— Betsy Klein (@betsy_klein) August 25, 2018
Saturday night, update #2: Senator McCain's family has announced that he died this afternoon. In an interesting cosmic coincidence, today is exactly 9 years after Ted Kennedy died, of the same disease.Trump has told White House aides he does not regret saying McCain is not a war hero. He tells advisers that McCain has a vendetta against him and that he wishes he’d step down. He doesn’t plan to say a laudatory word about the ailing senator. https://t.co/3RWOBSHKdH— Josh Dawsey (@jdawsey1) August 25, 2018
