On a day of poignant juxtaposition, McCain's flag draped coffin left his beloved

home soil of Arizona for the last time Thursday after his friends eulogized a life
embroidered with honor, self-sacrifice, American exceptionalism and the idea of
serving a cause greater than oneself.
Leaving Washington to mourners, Trump flew west and unspooled the kind of brazen
campaign trail performance -- tearing at the nation's political and cultural
divides and bashing institutions such as the Justice Department -- that McCain
planned his final goodbye to repudiate.
The former combat pilot's last flight ended in the gathering dusk of Joint Base
Andrews outside Washington, as McCain was borne back to the capital, where he was
once a ubiquitous figure, for the first time since December. Though McCain never
became president, the military ceremony and sense of solemnity had the historic
sense of a state occasion.
Less than an hour later, Trump, soaking in the adulation of a wildly cheering
crowd, strolled on stage in Indiana to the strains of Lee Greenwood's "God Bless
the USA" and opened his speech with a boast about his 2016 presidential win in the
state and his economic record.
"Where the hell did she come from?" Trump asked, as his supporters booed a lone
protester escorted from the arena, before bashing "dishonest, terrible" people in
the media and lambasting the "old and corrupt ruling class," of which America could
be "ashamed."
Chants of "lock her up, lock her up," echoed through the arena, aimed at Hillary
Clinton.
