[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s a social tradition when someone dies to focus on the progress. Just respect it, don’t go to cnn.com, and recognize that the scrutiny that all politicians are subject to will happen in due time.[/quote]

So you think if Trump, for instance, dies, a similarly hushed reaction would be warranted?[/quote]

I honestly don't know but I think that is the difference between the men. McCain tried to be a respectful person who didn't call names and act like an angry petty jerk most of the time. Even Trump's supporters acknowledge that he can be mean and unpleasant a lot of the time.

If you treat people like crap and make a name for yourself putting people down and calling them names then I don't know that you should expect reverence at your death.

Were people quiet and respectful when Nixon died? Nixon is like the less noxious version of Trump.[/quote]

But the thing is that you can be a lovely, respectful person to the people around you (let's agree, for the sake of the argument, that he was), and STILL push for terrible policies that result in death and harm to untold numbers of people.  Should this be ignored just because some people love you as a person? [/quote]

Maybe not ignored but something like that can definitely be pushed to the side for a few days while his family buries him. [/quote]
