We live now, it does seem to be a contrast that gets under this presidents skin. >> its remarkable that it was headline news that he was invited to this funeral in the first place. usually that would go without saying. so i understand that, you know, for their own reasons, george h.w. bushs family is kind of approaching this in a very different way than john mccain and his family approached the funeral. its not staged as a rebuke of trump or a celebration of the values that trump has undermined....
