Would have made a good president, if ...
... he hadn't picked Sarah Palin as running mate
Oh yeah... Yet another left wing media target. How much do you actually know about her?
Am not commenting on her ability just her electability. Her image didn't help his chances.
It's amazing when you look at what can send your electoral chances sinking to the bottom quicker than a torpedo amidships. One small error can be massively magnified and have you subject to 24hour cycle of ridicule from which you can't recover. Others get to say the dumbest shit constantly and somehow it doesn't harm them.
I didn't think highly of McCain's hawkish politics, but his integrity as an officer and POW stand the test of time.

Sara Palin apparently not invited to McCain's funeral. That's pretty fucked up.

She doesnt hate Trump, therefore she is a Nazi, and Nazis are not allowed at funerals.

Was a family choice? Or a government choice?
If it was family, they can invite whoever they like.

Of course they can but it seems astonishingly petty. She was completely loyal to him and was a shot in the arm for his campaign. I don't like the woman but the vitriol she endured was absolutely disgusting, particularly from the so-called sisterhood. I would have thought that someone from a very modest background who destroyed all her male opponents while raising multiple children would be a feminist icon. Nope, wrong party so she had to be destroyed. She campaigned for McCain shortly after giving birth and also had a son serving in Iraq. Regardless of her politics she's clearly an incredibly accomplished individual.
Not sure why she's being snubbed now. So incredibly small.

Also she was a total milf
That she was. She was (and still is) smoking. Just mute the volume and enjoy....

He’s also record as saying he regretted asking her to be VP, with some chatter that she was too much about her brand than the campaign, so I guess he may not have been much of a fan.
Still seems a bit strange not to invite her though, IMO.

Possibly jealous? She was getting bigger crowds than he was.

It’s not petty to not invite people you weren’t close to your funeral.
Also, we don’t know what there relationship was like. Looks like it’s safe to assume they didn’t get along, so why should she be there again?

I'll bet plenty more people will be there who said more shit about him publicly than Palin ever did. Obama especially. Bet there will also be plenty from the Republican machine that took him apart in 2000.
Perhaps they feel her presence would take away the focus on him. Given the press' fanatical obsession with her, that is probably a very good reason for her to stay away.

It’s just seems a weird thing to get riled up about. McCain got to plan his funeral due to the nature of his illness, completely up to him who he invites.
Being a long term public servant and member of the military, I’m sure he never considered the person and just wanted the Presidents there. I’m sure there was mutual respect their too.
