Yes it must have been hard to keep her emotions in check. I think she made a few swipes at the current President. Isn't great when you hear Obama talk about having conversations with McCain in his office. People can disagree and still be friends. I wonder when Trump is up in the night tweeting if he ever thinks about his own death and his legacy. Debt grown out. Inequality.?

I'm still listening to the eulogies. I'm listening for the fourth time to Meghan's. She honored and elevated her father while at the same time, humiliating Trump and I think that she did so with grace, dignity and eloquently.

When I hear Obama speak or even George Bush, I find myself wishing they were still in the White House because regardless of my disagreements with them, they have more dignity in their little fingers than Trump has in the whole of himself.

McCain definitely knew what he was doing when he asked them both to speak. No question about it. He gave us an example of what he himself stood for and a reminder of what this country was meant to be. He effectively reached across the aisle from the casket and handed us a gift.

"we had forgotten"

I have not had this feeling. I remember a good deal of winning for America.It seems like you live with your own private black cloud.

Strange that he will be supporting Ted Cruz after calling him a liar and says his father was involved in something to do with Kennedy. . McCain was a hero bone spurs Trump was not.

Just my opinion on Trump and I'm not in a position to make a diagnosis but...I wanted him to do well just like I want any President to do well. I believed for a while that he might. After two years of this now, I've come to believe that he's a malignant narcissist and the only thing he knows how to do is sow discord in an effort to draw attention to himself.

You're welcome.

How will those people live out their retirement and what happens to the money that has accumulated?
