I never voted for John McCain. He was a Republican and a hawk and an officer, but he was also a lion of the senate, who almost fearlessly went his own way. He tried to be decent, even in terrible circumstances, under torture as a prisoner of war in Vietnam. One of the surprising things he did was work to build peacetime ties with Vietnam once the war ended.
McCain and Teddy Kennedy were the last two lions. What we have left in the senate are rats like Lindsey Graham and (I hope) some cubs that will grown into their paws. Senators are supposed to be the adults in our governance structure. McCain was an adult.
