Focusing on the GOOD things that someone like John McCain stood for and the GOOD way he behaved isn't just a slam against Trump.  It's a call to return to that way of behaving for ALL.

The fact that the current POTUS is the poster boy for bad behavior just upsets his defenders/supporters because they want people to treat HIM with respect and then throw left-handed shade at him for "not acting very presidential sometimes".

If McCain's eulogies had been EXACTLY the same without Trump in office would it have bothered you?  Probably not.  But you think your boy was being insulted.

If the shoe fits, wear it.

I'll put you in the group with Fred that thinks her comments were not directly pointed at Trump.

As to the bolded question I doubt it would have been exactly the same. I doubt she uses Trump's tagline in her speech or talks about the entitled that did nothing while her father sacrificed. But yeah, the "while the entitled did nothing" line would have probably still rubbed me the wrong way. You can praise sacrifice without slurring those that did not.
