SENATOR JOHN MCCAIN: A PETTY AND PITIFUL (PETITE) PERSON.

"To fear the world we have organized and led for three-quarters of a century, to abandon the ideals we have advanced around the globe, to refuse the obligations of international leadership and our duty to remain 'the last best hope of earth' for the sake of some half-baked, spurious nationalism cooked up by people who would rather find scapegoats than solve problems is as unpatriotic as an attachment to any other tired dogma of the past that Americans consigned to the ash heap of history." - Senator John McCain.

ICHEOKU says with those words, Senator John McCain reignited his feud with President Donald John Trump; a matter which many thought has ended until now. By so doing, the Senator from the great State of Arizona is proving himself to be a very little person, who carries grudges and bitterness; and for such a long time and most likely will continue till a certain bitter end. Why a person so abundantly blessed, if not over blessed, will be so angry and vengeful is simply beyond any rational understanding. He was not acknowledged as a hero by then candidate Donald John Trump and he is still gunho mad at him for the slight; and you wonder does the fact that Donald John Trump did not acknowledge him now make him less a hero or took away his hero status in the eyes of many Americans. 

A good hearted person similarly situated, would have since tossed the matter away and moved on for his own peace of mind; but not Senator John McCain, who always goes back to the same regurge at every and any given opportunity which presents itself. A professor of criminal law, Professor Cyprain Okonkwo, once said that if a six footer kills someone for calling him a midget, the defense of provocation will not avail nor exculpate him; unlike a dwarf who is called out for being a shorty. The fact that Senator John McCain is still feeling sore about what Donald John Trump said over a year ago is suggestive that the Senator's experience in Vietnam might not be heroic afterall. From his reaction, it could be inferred that possibly, some peculiar facts of circumstance exists, which are only known to John McCain, which in his mind takes away his heroic status or at least diminishes it. Otherwise why would a true hero be mad that some adversary said he is not a hero. Why would a sighted person be mad for being called blind when he is not Steve Wonder, who would be the one reacting angrily for being reminded of his disability. 

That being said, so what if Senator John McCain was not called a hero or is he or will he be the first one ever to be denigrated or not recognized or appreciated or acknowledged for who he is or what he is or an honor he rightly merited. ICHEOKU says Americans should be more concerned on why Senator John McCain is always this reactionary anytime and every time and each time any question is raised about his experience in Hanoi Hilton. Is there something so suspicious and/or touchy about his experience that he doesn't want anyone to go there? Is there some unknown facts of consequence which if unearthed will make Americans see him in a different light, one not very complimentary. ICHEOKU says enough of this John McCain's tantrums and lashing outs. 

His voting against the Obamacare repeal should have been enough retaliation to even out and end the feud with President Donald John Trump. But the senator will not and did not chose the highway; begging the question, what will satisfy his appetite to avenge his slight by the president. The only possibility is that the none hero remark might actually not be the only beef the senator has against Trump and that in fact, the Senator might actually be jealous and envious of Trump and begrudging Trump for accomplishing what himself failed at - winning the American presidency. Yes, this angle is plausible because everyone knew how the Arizona Senator lost to President Barack Obama in 2008 and like Hillary Clinton, John McCain has not recovered from that painful loss. For him to now see Donald John Trump, a novitiate political entity, win the White House, must have elicited some envy in the senator and this possibly adds to his pain. It is possibly the bottled up pain that he tries to vent out each time he angrily lashes out at the man who actually accomplished something running for the presidency. 

ICHEOKU says whatever it may be and however painful the pain may be, it is time Senator John McCain move on from his grudges and end his reactionary attacks on President Donald John Trump. He should do it at least for the sake of the Republican Party so that it may not exacerbate and lead to an unending war of words between him and the president which might lead to some places, neither party intended it to. This becomes imperative considering the veiled threat made by the president that he might be forced to fight back and that it will be ugly if he does. ICHEOKU says time to call a truce is now, except the senator wants to be remembered as being so unforgiving and so petty; especially not now when he is fighting the fight of his life, battling cancer. Gentlemen, please sheath your swords and try expending your energy and time on finding solutions to America's numerous challenges for which you were both elected instead of bickering. Enough of these distractions which feeds red meat to the carnivorous media and aids their ratings. Let there be unity and progress among the Republicans; enough of the dog eat dog fight to the death.
