    Sad to see a political rising star pass at such a young age. His career was just beginning. We need more leaders with strong backbones like him.

    Damn, that's stunning news. I certainly don't have high hopes for the person that replaces him in the Senate though. There was a time I respected Graham, but he threw it all away for Trump. And not because he liked Trump, but because he was scared for his political future.

    I thought it was a joke when I read it since McConnells death hasn’t been called yet.

    Yeah, that worked out for him. I won't sully the dead but this guy was as shifty as they come.

    He was going to die in office. Better now than 20 years. He can take the rest of the war mongers with him

    Those long flights can be dangerous when you're old. Bet it was a blood clot.

    A senator that can actually communicate with McConnell.

    A politican proclaiming his undying allegiance to Israel is one that should not be in office of the American people. Hopefully his replacement will do better.
