It became very obvious when they started letting people like senator McCain and senator Romney - two decent fellows - alone in favor of openly racists and conspiracy theorists that would eventually lead to Trumpism.

"He was a war hero because he was captured. *I like people who weren't captured.*" - Donald Trump I'm a Democrat and I have a massive amount of respect for John McCain. He had respect for the people he represented, his country, and never bad mouthed anyone he ran against, nor did he respond to Trump's hate with hate. How did Republicans go from McCain to Trump?
The thing I remember the most about John McCain is that one joke that he told: "Do you know why Chelsea Clinton is so ugly? - Because Janet Reno is her father." Classic.
Yeah trump never acted like a hotshot son of a general and accidentally dropped bombs on his aircraft carrier, killing many men and getting off Scott free. He also wasn't named songbird by his fellow pow's for ratting them out to the enemy. You got no idea. Watch videos on what the other soldiers thought of mcain.

@BogeyDope I agree with u no qualms there but anyone who served in whatever war should be commended and if they were unfortunate to become a POW they have some protection that is why the Geneva conference was implemented. For the commander in chief to pour scorn on a POW is not only childish but insulting to all serving personnel.

Many of them still are. They just realize Trump's the only one that's exciting enough to win, even though he crosses the line WAY too often. They would've still loved McCain if he had won
Notice how every single time McCain speaks about how he got through literal hell, he mentions how he did it for his fellow troops and his fellow Americans and not for himself? When McCains wife said there is a massive difference between a McCain Republican and a Trump Republican, THAT’S WHAT SHE MEANT!
It was the romance of Obama being the first Black president, and the fallout of Iraq for the republicans. Mccain in other times would have been the favorite. Im not sure its as much as he lost, or obama won, or more that the republicans lost
@Jimmy Carter “We needed 60 votes” to repeal the ACA, Trump explained during an appearance before the Faith and Freedom Coalition, “and we had 51 votes. And sometimes, you know, we had a little hard time with a couple of them, right? Fortunately, they’re gone now. They’ve gone on to greener pastures-or perhaps far less green pastures. But they’re gone. They’re gone, Bill. I’m very happy they’re gone.” -Donald Trump on John McCain
I wept while watching Obama's tribute and eulogy to this American hero. What a masterpiece of a human being John McCaine is. He recognized that America's greatest contribution to humanity is our example as a civil society. As brief as the human life is, I feel so blessed to have been alive while he was and to witness his example.
Midnightrambler3760 I bet you’d sell out the country if you experienced 5% of what McCain had to go through too. Trump is the coward bc he faked his way out of the draft
It's crazy. Think of it though. If I was in my home of southwest florida & a North Korean jet flew over dropping bombs & was shot down.. I sure wouldn't treat the pilot with a warm welcome.
@@noorrougelewis6704 Vietnamese saw Americans as invaders of their lands. I don't fault McCain for that politicians went to bed in America who sent him to Vietnam. It's no different then the middle east today we are invaders.
@mr burg LoL why are you comparing invading a country like Vietnam with fighting against Nazi? To be clear, the US is fucking wrong to invade Vietnam.
In 1987 I was part of the cast/filmmakers that made The Hanoi Hilton-a film about the prison they talk about in this clip. Among other things, we recreated those incredibly horrific torture scenes and even though they were not real it always bothered me to imagen how Fing bad it was for the men who actually experienced. Additionally, John McCain himself was in our film and I had the honor of meeting and working with him.
This is what a real hero looks like folks. Not a guy who can win a league MVP, or win a Super Bowl - this is a real patriot and a real hero. GBU Mr McCain.

We were sworn to SECRECY when we learned that during our training...now the enemy has a clue as to how to decipher the messages.
I'm not a McCain fan, he was a poor presidential candidate, to endure what a prisoner had to at the Hanoi Hilton took tremendous strength and courage. I have absolute respect for those who endured such horrific treatment by the NVA at the HH. I'M not sure at what point I would break under constant torture. God bless all who had to endure.
The decision to stay to make life easier for his fellow prisoners is something I respect immensely. This mans honour and love for his fellow man is amazing.
John McCain was a great man who always trusted his own judgement. That's what helped him survive as a POW. I'm not saying he always made the right decision as a politician but he didn't blindly follow party lines.
John McCain was the perfect example of an American Hero. He never gave up and used nothing but mental and physical toughness to make it back to safety. Nobody can tell me any different.
As the Vietnamese it such an embarrassment to see him tortured like that. However, numerous Vietnamese soldiers being captured by South Vietnam and the US was beaten to death, that's the tragic things in the war
There is no need for you to be embarrassed. McCain was NOT tortured in captivity. As the son of an American admiral, he was seen as a a very valuable prisoner, and given especially good treatment . In gratitude, McCain collaborated fully with his captors. He invented the stories of his "torture" after his release to justify his collaboration. He was a man of low moral character who abandoned his wife (who had waited loyally for him during his imprisonment) when she was badly injured in a car accident. Americans are extremely gullible to fall for this lying nonsense.
@bernarddavis1050 It's okay to admit there were no heroes in the war and that everyone was a victim of it in some way. Yes, the Vietnamese were most justified in their anger, but it would be lying to say that they weren't all heroic neither. It's just a sad consequence of that brutal war.
What a legend! Any country would be so lucky to have him. How disrespectful for any President not put aside his differences for such a man. I hope karma is alive and well.
I'll always hate Trump for how he treated McCain. When says he saw men who went though worse. I don't know. He likely means immediate barbaric torture. Finger cutting and worse. Being starved and broke down in solitary is a whole different beast. Nobody will ever call him songbird to my face. When one beating from me makes em take it back. They'll get how strong he really was. I hope by the time he died and found peace and knew he did better than most of us could've dreamed. That those of us that live this country. Even Democrats. Had love for him that crossed party lines. We lost one of the greatest Americans of all time when we lost John McCain. A true soldier. And he never bad mouthed Obama. And absolute gentleman and a true class act. John McCain is a throw back to what made America the greatest. It's not this hate filled bullshit trump spews. It's being willing to put it all on the line for each other. Pushing it as far as you can. Setting standards that are unreachable. It took years to break him. And he wasn't happy with it. He continued to serve this country in one way or another until the day he died. I'm disgraced he had to witness the likes of trump become president. He didn't deserve that.
He said “I did not live up to the standard I thought I should live up to”. John McCain - you led a great life of service and honor. We are lucky to have had men like you among us. I only wish the republican party of 2020 was comprised of men and women who are as humble, honest, and honorable as you were.
Much respect love, so sorry you had to endure this horrendous trama.... I love you so much because even after going through this.... you still fought for America. You are always missed.... Remember, you live in your children....especially Megan. She's so strong. Much love and respect. God Bless

Many of them still are. They just realize Trump's the only one that's exciting enough to win, even though he crosses the line WAY too often. They would've still loved McCain if he had won
Notice how every single time McCain speaks about how he got through literal hell, he mentions how he did it for his fellow troops and his fellow Americans and not for himself? When McCains wife said there is a massive difference between a McCain Republican and a Trump Republican, THAT’S WHAT SHE MEANT!
I’m an Obama voter. But I love McCain. Such a great man.
McCain was just unlucky that he was running against Obama. I'm mostly on the left, but John is a stand up respectable man.
It was the romance of Obama being the first Black president, and the fallout of Iraq for the republicans.
Mccain in other times would have been the favorite. Im not sure its as much as he lost, or obama won, or more that the republicans lost
There both war criminals and invading a country and killing innocent ppl stfu 😊
Ur not a leftist if u like Obama
Came here after seeing his concession speech. What an inspiring person.
I never liked McCain's politics, but I can definitely respect the fact that he fought and lived through being a POW. He was an American hero.
I like presidents who don't lose elections.
He probably said this from the after life.
Senator McCain would Rest In Peace now, knowing that Trump is denied another 4 years.
Then you must not like trump
@Ringsofearth there is no evidence of any fraud in this election
Atleast he was president unlike mccain
I will never understand how Republicans forgave Trump for the way he spoke about this great man.
@Pope Leo X He lost by a small margin though. And I meant Republicans in general; all the ones who voted for McCain in 2008, not just Arizonans.
@@nashburges76 He lost by a small margin, but republicans usually win Arizona with a large margin
@Jimmy Carter “We needed 60 votes” to repeal the ACA, Trump explained during an appearance before the Faith and Freedom Coalition, “and we had 51 votes. And sometimes, you know, we had a little hard time with a couple of them, right? Fortunately, they’re gone now. They’ve gone on to greener pastures-or perhaps far less green pastures. But they’re gone. They’re gone, Bill. I’m very happy they’re gone.” -Donald Trump on John McCain
John McCain is one of the finest Americans I can think of, based on his character and his endurance.
Erdinger Nullfast what did he endure? 😂😂😂😂
You can say what you want about John McCains politics, but he was a good man, we need people like him in our government today
I wept while watching Obama's tribute and eulogy to this American hero. What a masterpiece of a human being John McCaine is. He recognized that America's greatest contribution to humanity is our example as a civil society. As brief as the human life is, I feel so blessed to have been alive while he was and to witness his example.
As a disabled Veteran I will never understand why he voted so many times against VA funding. Please check his voting record.
Midnightrambler3760 far better person than bone spurs trump will ever be
Midnightrambler3760 I bet you’d sell out the country if you experienced 5% of what McCain had to go through too. Trump is the coward bc he faked his way out of the draft
Two years in solitary confinement would make anyone insane very strong individual
Wherever John McCain is now, I hope he's looking down on us all and smiling. He was an honourable and honest man. R.I.P.
No he’s wasn’t he’s in hell he invaded a country illegal and killed a bunch of innocent ppl
McCain was the last republican I had respect for
I always admired Senator McCain. He stood up for what he believed. He had a spine. May you rest in peace Senator.😔❤
It's crazy. Think of it though. If I was in my home of southwest florida & a North Korean jet flew over dropping bombs & was shot down.. I sure wouldn't treat the pilot with a warm welcome.
It is generally advisable to eject over the area you just bombed
He's just carrying out the orders he was assigned to do.
@@noorrougelewis6704 Vietnamese saw Americans as invaders of their lands. I don't fault McCain for that politicians went to bed in America who sent him to Vietnam. It's no different then the middle east today we are invaders.
Geneva convention says POWs need to be treated humanely
@mr burg LoL why are you comparing invading a country like Vietnam with fighting against Nazi? To be clear, the US is fucking wrong to invade Vietnam.
RIP Senator John McCain.
In 1987 I was part of the cast/filmmakers that made The Hanoi Hilton-a film about the prison they talk about in this clip. Among other things, we recreated those incredibly horrific torture scenes and even though they were not real it always bothered me to imagen how Fing bad it was for the men who actually experienced. Additionally, John McCain himself was in our film and I had the honor of meeting and working with him.
That must have been interesting, he had to have a giant heart you would think so right?
God, I listen to him my heart beats 200 ppm. What a brave man 💕 Rest In Peace Hero 💕
My grandfather was a mp for the arvn and thanks to John McCain he was able to immigrate to the states. True legend.
This is what a real hero looks like folks. Not a guy who can win a league MVP, or win a Super Bowl - this is a real patriot and a real hero. GBU Mr McCain.
My heart breaks to hear of the torture John McCain endured. He was a truly good man and deserves to rest in paradise.
That’s a real hero who is an inspiration to every American including myself. An American, Muslim, Immigrant. God bless America
He invaded a country and killed a bunch of innocent ppl propgrands really done a bunch
Danke für das Hochladen : -)
Riesig würde ich mich über weiter Folgen Locked up abroad freuen, weil sie so schwer zu finden sind, vor allem würde ich mich über folgende Folgen freuen: Gaddafi’s American Prisoner; Plane Crash Marijuana; Hunting Mr. Nice; Fast, Furious And Busted; The Real Argo; Buried Alive; Snakes On A Plane; Vietnam POW’s: McCain & Brace. Gerne auch die deutsche Version.
Vielen herzlichen Dank für alles.
"It's generally inadvisable to bail out directly over the area you have just bombed."
Ignored Advice Productions I’m sure you’re well versed at flying combat sorties and evading capture after ejecting. After all only someone who’s actually lived to tell the tale would be armchair quarterbacking how and where to eject once hit (because all of us Airmen plan on being hit and know exactly when and where it will occur). But thank you ever so much for your input.
Im not a McCain supporter but after watching this McCains the man. I never knew the struggle he went through for our country until now. I will forever be grateful for his service.
He was the real deal..
Killing a bunch of innocent ppl
No matter what side of the politician spectrum you are on, you can say this man fought for his country.
God bless him ❤️
I visited the prison that he was being held at in Hanoi (it's now a war museum) and they proudly show off how 'well' he was treated as a prisoner
Let him tell his own story. Forget that lady.
Rusty - I think she was there to fill in the details McCain may be too shy to mention.
Right! Her presence is unnecessary
It may be hard for him to talk about
We lost one of our true great American hero,brave,honest ,respectable man my condolences and prayers to the family for their pain and sorrow we thank you for your service R.I.P Senator John McCain you'll be missed.
“My heroes are the ones that didn’t get captured”
The only thing trump captured were young girls with epstein
@Dustin Caso u know that it wasnt 24 times right it was 6 times but cuz the plane made multiple stops they try to inflate that number but doesnt matter i guess cuz they are all pervs.trump did alit more then reported
th-cam.com/video/yRAPLodRnd4/w-d-xo.html
@Dustin Caso saying it to a little girl is fukn weird ad wrong no matter how many times u spin it..it was 6 times clinton flew on his plane but the logs show every stop so one trip it stopped like 8 times u get it.trump flew on it to i think twice.trump say he would date his daughter on a tv show..u know its wrong if we agree to disagree on politics and everything inbetween u know the things about ypung girls and his daighter are wrong and in cali we deal with fools like that
@Dustin Caso idk if u have a young daughter or know a little girl from a friend or family but if u caught me saying that to a friend or overheard me what u say thats ok.if u do then u are a true trump supporter.its wrong no matter what cuz ur looking at a little kid
Trump can’t even hold McCains lunch. Thank you sir for your sacrifice! 🇺🇸
I’m sure u loved him so much in 2008 huh
M. Brennan lmao my point still stands,u guys just like McCain now because he tried to use a BS dossier to take down Trump and because well he’s dead now
SERE trained veteran here....this man was a mentor, a brother and a hero to myself and many, many others in the US Armed Forces. UPSET that they aired the tap-code at the end! We were sworn to SECRECY when we learned that during our training...now the enemy has a clue as to how to decipher the messages.
Lol
Tap code can be found on Google, and has been generally known since the 1980s (you know, back when Al Gore invented the internet).
@@rrss5497 LMAO, you seriously think Al Gore invented the internet? This country is worse off than I previously thought! Wow, man
To the spirit of John McCain... never 100% sir, never 100%.
Trump talked shit about this man tho!
5 deferments Trump , what a coward
It would have been a blessing to watch McCain tear up Trump for his behavior.
You mean McCain beating up trump or McCain destroying trump in a debate
I'm not a McCain fan, he was a poor presidential candidate, to endure what a prisoner had to at the Hanoi Hilton took tremendous strength and courage. I have absolute respect for those who endured such horrific treatment by the NVA at the HH. I'M not sure at what point I would break under constant torture. God bless all who had to endure.
Invading a country illegal
The decision to stay to make life easier for his fellow prisoners is something I respect immensely. This mans honour and love for his fellow man is amazing.
John McCain was a great man who always trusted his own judgement. That's what helped him survive as a POW. I'm not saying he always made the right decision as a politician but he didn't blindly follow party lines.
John McCain was the perfect example of an American Hero. He never gave up and used nothing but mental and physical toughness to make it back to safety. Nobody can tell me any different.
He killed a bunch of innocent ppl
And he invaded a country innocent illegal country
One of the greatest men who ever lived. Selfless, caring, fair and dedicated. RIP John McCain.
President Bonespurs isn't even fit to lace this man's boots.
“that’s all i have to say”. badass. what a hero
“I like people that weren’t captured.” - Candidate Donald Trump
Fella Einstein - he would go on to become president but he initially said it when he was a candidate.
Darth Cronal - oh, l agree with you. Tell that to Trump.
Always despised McCain as a liberal rino, but he was a real man's man, and contrary to certain comments, a true hero.
I'm speechless about how low USA has fallen. May your nation recover like the great, late John McCain once did.
I have tremendous respect for McCain. Shame on Trump and his followers for the disrespect towards this true hero. I just have no words.
Trump is more trustworthy than him, tell me what other politician do you support flip-floping their policy than him?
He says i don't enjoy watching it. Absolutely.
I think I would go mad ,, he’s a really brave hero
Everybody cracks. It's just human.
Erdem Memisyazici it’s being a pos human.
What an honorable man. He should have been president.
Right place wrong time
FUCK JON YOU NEED TO FIND BETTER NEW SOURCE AND WAKE UP OR ARE YOU JUST EVIL
As the Vietnamese it such an embarrassment to see him tortured like that. However, numerous Vietnamese soldiers being captured by South Vietnam and the US was beaten to death, that's the tragic things in the war
There is no need for you to be embarrassed. McCain was NOT tortured in captivity. As the son of an American admiral, he was seen as a a very valuable prisoner, and given especially good treatment . In gratitude, McCain collaborated fully with his captors. He invented the stories of his "torture" after his release to justify his collaboration. He was a man of low moral character who abandoned his wife (who had waited loyally for him during his imprisonment) when she was badly injured in a car accident. Americans are extremely gullible to fall for this lying nonsense.
@bernarddavis1050 It's okay to admit there were no heroes in the war and that everyone was a victim of it in some way. Yes, the Vietnamese were most justified in their anger, but it would be lying to say that they weren't all heroic neither. It's just a sad consequence of that brutal war.
For his service to his country McCain has my total respect- RIP McCain a true American hero 🇺🇸
I am from Vietnam and you have no idea what he'd been thru . RIP
What a legend! Any country would be so lucky to have him. How disrespectful for any President not put aside his differences for such a man. I hope karma is alive and well.
Dont speak for me.. All wars after WWII were illegal. Imperialism is the highest stage of capitalism... These crooks will meet their demise..
I'll always hate Trump for how he treated McCain. When says he saw men who went though worse. I don't know. He likely means immediate barbaric torture. Finger cutting and worse. Being starved and broke down in solitary is a whole different beast. Nobody will ever call him songbird to my face. When one beating from me makes em take it back. They'll get how strong he really was. I hope by the time he died and found peace and knew he did better than most of us could've dreamed. That those of us that live this country. Even Democrats. Had love for him that crossed party lines. We lost one of the greatest Americans of all time when we lost John McCain. A true soldier. And he never bad mouthed Obama. And absolute gentleman and a true class act. John McCain is a throw back to what made America the greatest. It's not this hate filled bullshit trump spews. It's being willing to put it all on the line for each other. Pushing it as far as you can. Setting standards that are unreachable. It took years to break him. And he wasn't happy with it. He continued to serve this country in one way or another until the day he died. I'm disgraced he had to witness the likes of trump become president. He didn't deserve that.
Nobody in the media voted for him, but they REALLY respect him.
He said “I did not live up to the standard I thought I should live up to”. John McCain - you led a great life of service and honor. We are lucky to have had men like you among us. I only wish the republican party of 2020 was comprised of men and women who are as humble, honest, and honorable as you were.
I wish we had John now. He would be a better option than what we have now.
Much respect love, so sorry you had to endure this horrendous trama.... I love you so much because even after going through this.... you still fought for America. You are always missed.... Remember, you live in your children....especially Megan. She's so strong. Much love and respect. God Bless
From surviving a war to a dramatic thumbs down, every politician craves even a tenth of what this man had in life and politics. Cheers!
The last of the honorable republicans. Thank you John.
you mean rinos and that's nothing to be proud of He was more of a shitstain...
@Ben Snider thanks for putting swimbait and mara here in their place Most enjoyable
The last honorable democrat was assassinated in 1968
My grand dad used to say every soldier had a hand grenade to commit suicide just in the case one was captured in WW2.
I am Japanese.
@MassCityMadman
Back in 1854, US sent US admiral, Matthew C. Perry to Japan and started bullying just like it is doing every corner of the world today.
Whoops ! It’s a loooong story. I will stop here. lol.
A true American here. Not a draft dodger and a racist.
Watching this in tears RIP LEGEND
