What Mr. Goldberg fails to grok is that Mr. McCain was his own kind of nationalist. His "national greatness conservatism" and notion of the "greater good" came down, yet again, yet on another path, to the State being everything and the individual, nothing. Mr. McCain also committing enough floutings of the Constitution of his own (campaign finance reform was only one such flouting) on behalf of his "national greatness conservatism" to disqualify him as an argument against nationalism, Trumpian or otherwise. As a military hero and a prisoner of war of uncommon courage, one takes one's hat off to Mr. McCain; but, as any kind of example of fighting for freedom, for individual rights, and for properly-construed and limited government, one puts one's hat back on ten times.
