RE: John McCain - There are no conservatives in foxholes.
http://www.cnn.com/2017/10/17/politics/john-mccain-trump-spurious-nationalism/index.htmlThere's a popular claim among Christians that "there are no atheists in foxholes", implying that an atheist near death will begin to worry about an afterlife and embrace Pascal's long-debunked "wager."
I don't grant any credibility to that but it could be that a similar principle applies to religious conservatives, or at least to John McCain, who presumably does believe in an afterlife and wants to distance himself from the evil nature of conservatism in order to redeem his soul while he has time.
