John McCain was guided by the firm conviction that the value of all political work could be found in serving freedom, democracy and the rule of law. His death is a loss for all who share that conviction.
BRITISH PRIME MINISTER THERESA MAY
John McCain was a great statesman, who embodied the idea of service over self. It was an honour to call him a friend of the UK. My deepest sympathies go to his family, and the American people.
FRENCH PRESIDENT EMMANUEL MACRON
John McCain was a true American hero. He devoted his entire life to his country. His voice will be missed. Our respectful thoughts go to his beloved ones.

(40,181 posts)He nurses jealousy of other's accomplishments. That is why he hates President Obama. He knows that Obama is his intellectual and moral superior. He hated McCain for the same reason. McCain, for all is faults and political views that ran contrary to what democrats hold dear, was a decent man who loved his country and put his honor and his country before himself. McCain could also admit to his own failings and shortcomings. And Trump fairs pitifully in comparison.
