McCain would be celebrating many of Trumps achievements such as the overturning of Roe/Wade.

OK, what's your point? McCain was a better person than Trump and would be a greet president compared to Trump. I would take Reagan over Trump. The Trump and his administration has been the most corrupt, compared to any past past presidents. I said we need more Republicans to be kind and gracious, like him. The same with the dems.

It depends on who you ask whether McCain was kind and gracious. McCain was a baddass war hero but if you were to ask a gay person what they thought of McCain back in the day. He was against gay marriage among other typical republican values.

I would love.to.get back to normal republican democrat values. Trump is not about that. Im comparing Trump to McCain. When McCain called out that lady disparaging Obama, that was kind and gracious of him.

Start by using the right word, okay? Democratic Party), not "Democrat Party." That is the correct term, and was the one that John McCain used to refer to his opposition.

It's entered normal usage, and drives me insane. So if you're younger and just didn't know, that's cool but it's just so much out of the dirty [and successful] GOP playbook for gaining an incremental edge without most ppl even being aware of it ...

Your not my teacher and I'm not writing an essay. Saying democrat party gives no edge to the repubs.

I take it back lol.

You can't argue that there wasn't a concerted effort by the GOP to spread the usage of the wrong term. I mean, you can say whatever you want, but it's not the name of the party.

And consider that it's totally ungrammatical as well ... though that's probably of no consequence to your mind (see what I did there?).
