John McCain: The Anti-Trump
9th September 2017
For both good and ill, Sen. John McCain of Arizona is the closest the Republican Party has to the opposite of Donald Trump. He is the moral conscience that promises to check the president’s excesses, and he is the hypocritical Washington lifer whose cynical rhetoric and interventionist passions helped create the Trumpian backlash in the first place.
Trump has accomplished more in six months as President than McCain has in 30 years in the Senate.
That ought to tell you all you need to know.

Mere quantity of accomplishment is not the sole, or even the most important, criterion.
Rapid advancement is no benefit if you’re going the wrong way.
