I like it when eulogies are a combination of light-hearted moments and remembering the life and impact of a person. Funerals are tough enough to get through. When you can make the closest family members laugh during such a difficult time, it's a success and a short distraction during suffering. It surely is what the deceased person would have preferred. I can imagine McCain would have chuckled at some of those moments as well.

Something Trump neither understands nor will ever understand.

The people who know this TIME PERIOD, those with a decent Education and those with a smattering of common sense and decency will NEVER allow Trump to rise in favorable opinion. The HATERS will have their symbol however, like Reagan has his fans.

I am hoping he SPENDS a lifetime in Prison. Its likely this country will not allow a President to sit in Prison, but Trump will be stripped of that, title, and go to prison as a no one.

I am sure McCain would have appreciated these words. Trump and his supporters need to take a moment to listen to what Obama has said here. They probably won't, and that is too bad for them and for our country.
