forward can go forward in a bipartisan civil way that would honor john mccain s memory. as we finish today, can we just show this moment when the song danny boy was played? because it is important to remember. this is a loss for the nation. it s a loss of an era of politics. it s so painful for all of us. but this is really a loss for a family, for cindy mccain, for megan mccain, who has been so open in the loss of her dad, the children, jack mccain and the large family that encompassed two marriages, five children. this is their loss, it s deeply personal for the pittsburgh cane family and watch cindy mccain put her head on her son s shoulder when that song was played, it was heart breaking. we have to understand how sad we are, this is a loss for the mccain family first and foremost. kareem john pierre.
