I am a life long democrat who could never support Senator McCain's political agenda. However, John McCain the man was an honorable man of high moral character who loved and proudly served the American people. I would bet that the Senator is having a good laugh in knowing that Donald Trump himself put the final nail in his own political coffin as well as all of those of the brown nose GOP yes men in the house and senate.I wonder what the Vegas odds are against a GOP candidate getting re elected. I pray that the events from the 2016 elections to present can serve to reunite our great nation and stop the insanity and corruption that is rapidly destroying our once great nation.

America’s causes – liberty, equal justice, respect for the dignity of all people 美国的事业 - 自由，平等正义，尊重所有人的尊严
R.I.P. Honorable Senator John McCain:
天上星,亮晶晶,深夜无眠北斗星/
地立人,泪涟涟,山暗河泣夜矇 矇/
曾记否？志同和君谦携手,胸怀五洲 一
"自由，平等正义，尊重所有人的尊严"一
民主制度谁能守？／／
遗志苍生鼓与呼,
和平昌盛!
" to you with the heartfelt faith in Americans that I felt so powerfully "
"“I owe that satisfaction to the love of my family. No man ever had a more loving wife or children he was prouder of than I am of mine. And I owe it to America. To be connected to America’s causes – liberty, equal justice, respect for the dignity of all people – brings happiness more sublime than life’s fleeting pleasures. Our identities and sense of worth are not circumscribed but enlarged by serving good causes bigger than ourselves."
Reading all farewell headline news drove tears rolling down my cheek upon reading his final words that pierce my heart - heartfelt hope for this great country on earth. A national hero, a model for all - R.I.P. - well done! Mr. McCain.

Here is the final statement from Sen. John McCain, which was read Monday by Rick Davis, his former presidential campaign manager and a family spokesman, at the Arizona State Capitol in Phoenix, Arizona:
“My fellow Americans, whom I have gratefully served for sixty years, and especially my fellow Arizonans,
“Thank you for the privilege of serving you and for the rewarding life that service in uniform and in public office has allowed me to lead. I have tried to serve our country honorably. I have made mistakes, but I hope my love for America will be weighed favorably against them.
“I have often observed that I am the luckiest person on earth. I feel that way even now as I prepare for the end of my life. I have loved my life, all of it. I have had experiences, adventures and friendships enough for ten satisfying lives, and I am so thankful. Like most people, I have regrets. But I would not trade a day of my life, in good or bad times, for the best day of anyone else’s.
“I owe that satisfaction to the love of my family. No man ever had a more loving wife or children he was prouder of than I am of mine. And I owe it to America. To be connected to America’s causes – liberty, equal justice, respect for the dignity of all people – brings happiness more sublime than life’s fleeting pleasures. Our identities and sense of worth are not circumscribed but enlarged by serving good causes bigger than ourselves.
“‘Fellow Americans’ – that association has meant more to me than any other. I lived and died a proud American. We are citizens of the world’s greatest republic, a nation of ideals, not blood and soil. We are blessed and are a blessing to humanity when we uphold and advance those ideals at home and in the world. We have helped liberate more people from tyranny and poverty than ever before in history. We have acquired great wealth and power in the process.
“We weaken our greatness when we confuse our patriotism with tribal rivalries that have sown resentment and hatred and violence in all the corners of the globe. We weaken it when we hide behind walls, rather than tear them down, when we doubt the power of our ideals, rather than trust them to be the great force for change they have always been.
“We are three-hundred-and-twenty-five million opinionated, vociferous individuals. We argue and compete and sometimes even vilify each other in our raucous public debates. But we have always had so much more in common with each other than in disagreement. If only we remember that and give each other the benefit of the presumption that we all love our country we will get through these challenging times. We will come through them stronger than before. We always do.
“Ten years ago, I had the privilege to concede defeat in the election for president. I want to end my farewell to you with the heartfelt faith in Americans that I felt so powerfully that evening.
“I feel it powerfully still.
“Do not despair of our present difficulties but believe always in the promise and greatness of America, because nothing is inevitable here. Americans never quit. We never surrender. We never hide from history. We make history.
“Farewell, fellow Americans. God bless you, and God bless America.”
