John McCain’s life was a lesson for all of us. His ability to work with opponents, compromise, stand up for what he believed right, but also and very important, and what’s missing today, a decency to others. I sent his campaign a lot of money for me at the time. I admired his work with Russ Feingold on finance reform, Lieberman on strong foreign policy remembering WWII, Kennedy on immigration. He could be very harsh in private, clenched teeth smile in public. Trump just the opposite.  But McCain’s values were my values. His perfect imperfection.

Rest in Peace.
