What is everyone's view on john McCain? Could someone explain to me further what he did that made so many dislike him?

I disagreed with him at times, and at times I agreed, like any other leader. However, McCain was an American hero, and he served his country honorably, and I really believe he always voted his conscience and what he thought best for America. He was one of the truly ethical leaders who grew in the job. Those I knew who did not like him had no reason other than he was an R (some of the Dems) and was an R who didn't like DT, who called him on his unethical behavior (the R's), which I think is a pretty poor reason for deciding you don't like someone. Just realized this is an older post, but I think the Senate is poorer without him.

It's rather complicated.

John MCain is far more reveered than despised. He is a true American hero. Those that do not appreciate his politics generally don’t because he tends to go a little farther left the the average Rep. to like or dislike anyone for their politics is exactly why I stay away from the topic. Thank you and him for your service.
