#JohnMcCain's legacy is far too complicated for the children of new media to comprehend. Nuance is an orphan. The hagiographies belie the contempt these autodidacts had when he ran against St. Barack. Listen to his fellow POWs and learn of his stonewalling as to transparency.
A review of his history can be accomplished whilst not dancing on the grave of #JohnMcCain. It's possible to be adult as to his legacy and record whilst not waxing ghoulish as to a man's horrid death via brain cancer. This requires a subtle appreciation of complex issues.
Fitzgerald: "The test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposed ideas in mind at the same time and still retain the ability to function." Say now what you said about #JohnMcCain when he was alive. Death doesn't purge record. But refrain from ghoulish glee.
