   Sarah Palin penned a touching tribute to late Sen. John McCain on social   
   media – even after he expressed regrets over picking her as his running   
   mate.   
      
   Following news of McCain’s passing over the weekend, Palin expressed her   
   condolences on Facebook and had nothing but nice things to say about the   
   former Arizona senator and Vietnam veteran:   
      
   Today we lost an American original.   
      
   Sen. John McCain was a maverick and a fighter, never afraid to stand for   
   his beliefs. John never took the easy path in life – and through sacrifice   
   and suffering he inspired others to serve something greater than self.   
      
   John McCain was my friend. I will remember the good times.   
      
   My family and I send prayers for Cindy and the McCain family.   
      
   This was a truly classy move on Palin’s part, especially considering that   
   she and McCain had not been on the best of terms prior to his passing.   
      
   In McCain’s final memoir, “The Restless Wave,” released earlier this year,   
   the former presidential candidate lamented that picking Palin to run   
   alongside him in 2008 was “another mistake that I made” during his career.   
   Indeed, the New York Times first reported in May that McCain used the   
   memoir and its accompanying documentary as a way “to unburden himself   
   about not selecting (Joseph) Lieberman, a Democrat-turned-independent, as   
   his running mate.”   
      
   Members of McCain’s campaign team advised him that picking Lieberman, a   
   pro-abortion former Democrat who had been Al Gore’s running mate just   
   eight years earlier, would kill his chances at the presidency. In his   
   memoir, McCain wrote that he conceded as much, “But my gut told me to   
   ignore it and I wish I had.”   
      
   Those are strong words, and they certainly couldn’t have sat well with   
   Palin. Nevertheless, she took the high road and treated McCain’s memory   
   and legacy with the dignity and respect that he deserves. Sadly, that’s   
   more than can be said about President Donald Trump, who has remained   
   notably silent on McCain’s passing.   
      
   McCain wasn’t the most popular member of Congress, and many would argue   
   that he was deeply and unfortunately entrenched in the establishment.   
   However, there’s no denying the contribution that he made to our country,   
   and no person who’s lived to honorable serve should be maligned in death.   
      
   Recall that John McCain lost two presidential elections attempts.   
      
   That was no accident.   
      
      
   --   
   Donald J. Trump, 304 electoral votes to 227, defeated compulsive liar in   
   denial Hillary Rodham Clinton on December 19th, 2016.  The clown car   
   parade of the democrat party ran out of gas and got run over by a Trump   
   truck.   
      
   Congratulations President Trump.  Thank you for cleaning up the disaster   
   of the Obama presidency.   
      
   Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the   
   The World According To Garp.   
      
   ObamaCare is a total 100% failure and no lie that can be put forth by its   
   supporters can dispute that.   
      
   Obama jobs, the result of ObamaCare. 12-15 working hours a week at minimum   
   wage, no benefits and the primary revenue stream for ObamaCare.  It can't   
   be funded with money people don't have, yet liberals lie about how great   
   it is.   
      
   Obama increased total debt from $10 trillion to $20 trillion in the eight   
   years he was in office, and sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood queer   
   liberal democrat donors.
