In the midst of her pain
of her grief, her profound
loss
as she spoke words of love
saying these words,
that “America was always
great”
in the great cathedral
hearing the response
applause like rain
echoing off the marble
the hard-wood of the pews
the fabric of our nation
in what we believe
=======================

applause like rain
9/1/18 - Twitter Moment during funeral for Senator John
McCain
"The America of John McCain has no need to be made
great again because America was always great." — Meghan McCain @MeghanMcCain
#McCainMemorial
&
comment of Susan Glasser
“Make no mistake: the applause ringing out at the
Cathedral when
Meghan McCain says
'America has no need to be made great again
because America was always great' is not standard.
Never heard applause at a funeral here before.”
&
emblematic of the escalating rhetoric between
President Donald J. Trump and John McCain
since the 2016 Republican Presidential Primaries
and continuing after Senator McCain’s death
