John McCain probably wouldn’t have responded to Trump’s comments. As his friend, I will.   Joseph I. Lieberman

Joseph I. Lieberman represented Connecticut in the U.S. Senate from 1989 to 2013.

On one of the first foreign trips I took with John McCain, he handed me his comb and asked me to straighten out his hair. He could not raise his arms above his shoulders to comb his own hair, a lifelong consequence — and not the only one — of the abuse he suffered during his more than five years in a North Vietnamese prison.

Years later, I traveled to Hanoi with McCain and visited that prison, which is now a museum. A group of Viet­namese high school students came through and when they recognized him, they began chanting his name, cheering, clapping and asking for pictures and autographs. McCain had become a hero to the Vietnamese people because he had sponsored the legislation that normalized U.S. relations with Vietnam, the country that had treated him so inhumanely.

My takeaway from John McCain is not quite as generous as Mr. Liebermans, I felt McCain was an evil, vindictive man, especially after that one remark attributed to him..."LETS SEE HIM (TRUMP) MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN NOW"..!!!       

BUT....AS ALWAYS, READ THE ARTICLE AND MAKEUP YOUR OWN MIND
