you re losing. i do wonder if it s the disdain from mccain s life if he boils it down and, therefore, everything else that comes with that. the military heroism, the stature he enjoys in this country that trump doesn t have any value because he lost. but he lost gracefully. donald trump did not win gracefully so maybe that is the way he internalizes this for his own ego. buying into this, which i think is a huge mistake. righteousness knows no boundaries. one thing with john mccain, at least for the most part, on the side of being right because he recognized, again, there was something much bigger at stake here, bigger than the republican party, bigger than the
persona nongrata at the events. and he was persona non grata not because he was petty but the moment he dismissed mccain s status as a war hero saying he preferred people who were not captured. he refused to do anything the slightest bit gracious so he disqualified himself and he further sunk to the occasion of aggressive pettiness to keep a veteran s objective of keeping flags at half staff which they are now. i guess i would say no one would expect the president to take this as a teachable moment. the question i really have is
