I get that she is his daughter...but...come on. The only thing this guy is 'fighting for' at this point is to stay alive for another day. She needs to accept the fact that his time has passed. If McCain was any kind of 'man', if he was a true patriot, he would have resigned months ago. As it is now, his incredibly selfish behavior is depriving the people of Arizona representation in the Senate, and he is depriving the entire nation of a Republican seat in Congress. All for his own selfish stubborn ego.

I'm not sure McCain has contributed much to America during his time in Congress.  While I have empathy for the grief that Meghan and family will have upon his passing, I can't help but hope that America will have a chance to be better without him in the Senate.

She's got a helluva lot of memories between her ears.

Imagine!  Growing up with him as your father? 

My heart goes out to her.

...but you're right, @mountaineer

I for one will be glad when this McCain traveling death show finishes..  They've milked this in epic proportions.

Well Megan, there are a great many who are scared for America with him!

  I Agree.

      While I understand he's her father and she loves him and will miss him when he's gone, there are quite a few of us who will definitely not miss him or mourn him, but will celebrate that there will now be a chance that he will be replaced with a conservative!

The nation has been just fine in his long absence.

I'm not gonna jump on a woman's delusions about her dying father, but maybe she shouldn't go public with them.

Well, I for one think that it goes beyond delusional.  What she is implying is her father is the only one who is keeping this country in tact.  I see it as quite the opposite; he's wreaked havoc on conservative principles and just maybe there is a chance of someone taking his seat that could actually help the GOP Senate vote rather than stifle it.

I'm not looking forward to all the hoopla (and you know there will be) surrounding this man once he passes. The lies and b.s. will be overflowing.

McCain was and is a warmongering petulant narcissist. His passing can only be good for America and the world.
My condolences to his family, but reality is reality.

I know, and it will be sickening.  But still not faulting Meghan.  She may believe it.  He's her daddy.  Maybe he was a good father.  Nobody will ever know.

"he needs to be here to 'fight for what we believe in'"

Who is "we?"  Unfortunately, it seems what he believes in and what I believe in are not the same and never have been. 

I still respect him for his service in Vietnam and his years as a POW, but his service in the senate was damaging to this country.  Liberalism usually is.  Why the heck he never switched parties, I'll never know.   Alas, nowadays , it doesn't matter which party he belongs to.  They are becoming more and more the same.  Liberals like him have a lot to do with that sad reality. 

Really wish the daughter would stop these gushy updates.  They come off as phony.  The man is dying.  I doubt he's fighting for anything now. IMHO, she should just enjoy her time with him. We don't need the endless propaganda about what a great, courageous guy he is.

It is difficult to sit and watch a loved one die little by little each day.  With the McCain's being in the spotlight for so many years perhaps she feels an obligation to the public to periodically report on her Dad.  Quite frankly, I could do without the drama.
