McCain seemed like a decent person. He argued in favor of Obama whenever one of his supporters went off on their bullshit.

Good time to remember:

https://www.cnn.com/2019/03/19/politics/donald-trump-john-mccain-dead/index.html

On July 18, 2015, then-candidate Donald Trump said this about John McCain: Hes not a war hero. He was a war hero because he was captured. I like people who werent captured.
On March 19, 2019, President Donald Trump offered this assessment of the late war hero and senator: I was never a fan of John McCain and I never will be.

Those two comments almost four years apart and more than six months after McCains death provide telling bookends to understand just how much Trump has changed Republican politics (and politics generally), and not for the better.

Worst thing was to see people who liked McCain all the sudden hate him just cause Trump did. I know people irl like that.
