I've always liked McCain alright. He generally follows his convictions and I've always gotten the sense that he cares about people, though I disagree with him as often as I agree with him. The same is true for Lindsey Graham.
I think what's different with McCain now is that he's got less to lose by soley following his conscience and sense of duty to the country, damn the consequences. He's not gonna run for President again, and he knows he's near the end of his political career and maybe even the end of his life. So, he's probably even less inclined to worry about party popularity or threats of Presidential payback. That's my sense anyway.
CNN is hosting a Town Hall on healthcare Monday night. That's one worth watching, for me. The politicians participating have very strong and often opposing/heated views, but they're smart and funny and don't act like idiots and trolls in debate scenarios.
Bernie Sanders will be pushing his Medicare for All / Single Payer plan. He and Minnesota's Democratic Senator Amy Klobuchar will debate Republican Senators Lindsey Graham of South Carolina and Bill Cassidy of Louisiana.
