He is rolling over in his grave about his Party's direction now. They get nothing done just sow Hate and Division!

It is hard to watch a speech by a guy I really respect who is probably going to be taken from us when we need him most.

If Arizona's vote certification had a notes section, it should read "Senator McCain sends his regards"

this seriously needs to be a speech shown in classrooms all around the country

"We're getting nothing done." That was the line that strucked me the most because it's a fact that most legislators now doesn't really care about the well-beings of their own constituents. It's all about winning now. Most of them won't even speak unless their political parties said so or it's a relevant issue to the public. Shame.

My respect to this legend always.

McCain will go down in history as one of the greatest Senators of his time

WOW!!!!!!! a republican that doesn't sound like a FUCKING CRIMINAL. i don't know what to think.

Very emotional moment with Senator John McCain...Get Well Soon!

Wise words to hear. I fear, though well said, it may be too late.

It's an amazing speech and it targets everyone in the room. Little did the GOP know Senator McCain was planning on snuffing out their party's attempt to abolish Obamacare. Aside from the Senate, you can hear the discreet swipe toward trump when he mentioned that Senators are not subordinate to the executive office. McConnell might've been the majority leader but it was John who held the power that day. It's such a shame that McCain made one last effort to remind everyone the importance and necessity of bi-partisanship because even in 2023, Congress is entrenched in both chambers still.

NOW THAT'S A TRUE AMERICAN!!

His vote one of my happiest political memories sorry to those who disagree

I'm always concerned about people who love power so much that they're willing to do anything to keep it...

We miss him so much not only in the US Senate but here in Arizona. His legacy will live forever! 😢

Save yourself and don't read the comments

RIP MCcain. Civility Rules

Maybe the single greatest American hero and Trump called him a loser.

A legend of politics.....

I sure hope that his memory will live forever as an example of what a true American Hero and as example of what a real American Patriot is and not the example that some people are calling a Patriot

I find what McCain said inspirational and have often found the man to be the face of dignity among the Republicans during Trump's presidency, but I find it strange that he can give a 15 minute speech on the merits of bipartisanship and how the government should be run, then vote yes for a bill that was largely thrown together behind closed doors with almost zero oversight, accountability, or debate from the other side. Yes, he talked a good game and made a lot of prescient points, including the fact that this bill will require far more debate before anyone signs off on it, but I'm hard-pressed to think of a more blatant example of saying one thing and doing another.

Ah, is it now, Fernando? I stand corrected then. I saw the vote had happened and assumed they were shuttling it off for the House to debate.

Mccain was the very model of a modern Conservative, true to the vision of Barry Goldwater.

"We are a blessing to humanity" maybe the most hilarious overstatement I've ever heard a politician make.

Damn I miss McCain, a true patriot. Trump and MAGA have ruined the Republican party.

Good words from the heart forced even Mitch McConnell to clap along with the rest of republicans eventhough they were furious at him for killing their bill.

May GOD bless you! How we miss you! ❤

may god bless you , give u good health to speak true for U.S people and what they want and build for future U.S.A.

This is some of the only "food for the soul" that has ever existed. He was a respectful man. He was an honorable man. He was a flawed man, but in the end, he was our man, loyal to the end.. if there's a next life, he'll have a good one. He believed in America.

You have exemplified AMERICA in its core essence! What courage it took to deliver this message. ❤❤❤

Bipartisanship legendary

RIP John ❤

I hope his speech is not a waste of breath.

Good man.

John McCain had to be one of the greatest examples of a truly honorable Republican and American that this country has ever known, and I think would have made a damn fine president and I'm not even a Republican. That would be because he truly believes in this country.

Mitch goes and the senate will be FAR more active.

"Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., underwent surgery last week to remove a blood clot from above his left eye. ... A two-inch blood clot was removed in a "minimally invasive craniotomy with an eyebrow incision." In this procedure, doctors cut the skin, remove a small piece of the skull and remove the blood clot in the front of the brain near the pituitary gland. They then replace the skull segment, may hold it in place with titanium plates and sew the patient up at the eyebrow hairline to leave the smallest scar possible.This approach is less painful than an open craniotomy and has faster recovery."

With much respect, there shouldn't be a McCain in the order of this running our futures. Cain is good where it's naturally grown. But, there. It's a good place to build a secure adult playground resort and take in guests as a fun vacation destination. Very lucrative and the trees are grown where the resorts oughtta keep the leaf there and safely there. In fact, if you outlaw their moving out of the area, it'll be an envied vacation resort destination for adults the world around. Huge. We don't. Have tested as young ppl in a normal youth way until it hated us and we retire the urge. That's my personal trick- hate myself with it so I can run and latch onto coffee or temporarily- beer - to wean fast and get tossed away from it (if tempted or pushed) for as many decades as possible. One -3 times and stay gone forever. Yes! Normal life! Thanks! Best business luck is near the roots. You're welcome!

That speech wasn't about Healthcare. It was about impeaching President Trump.

You act like he was taking advantage of his family ties and yet, when he was a POW in Vietnam, he was offered his freedom because of his family and yet he refused, stating that he wouldn't leave until all of his fellow prisoners were freed as well. Yeah, he really was using his family for his own benefit. Way to try and disparage a true American hero.

poster child for term limits

so what was the deal here Sen McCain? Did you make a deal for your yes vote and in return you get to make a speech ( aka lecture ) on bi-partisanship? Your gambling with the lives of many. I hope your speech was worth it.

AFTER VOTING TO MOVE THIS BILL INTO DEBATE. A Bill that was created by 13, old white guys, all of one party, behind closed doors. A bill that no amendment can create bi partisan support. f you do not see the IRONY, the speaking out of two sides of your mouth......of what he just did then you need to clean your ears out, study up on critical thinking, and take a few turns around the block......And if I were you, I would avoid those pesky door to door salesman.
