Be assured that if Trump had followed the conventional wisdom of heaping praise on McCain, these very same detractors would be pillorying him for hypocrisy.  These people can never be satisfied.  I was frankly gratified that Trump made a very short and nice tweet instead of the usual self-serving pablum of the political class.  Everyone knew that they couldn't stand each other and some long-winded glorification of McCain after he died would have been seen for what it really was.  Be assured, if Trump cured cancer the Democrats and  Never Trumpers would march out a long line of medical professionals that were going to lose their jobs.
