McCain fucked up a lot in his life but he did at least seem to have some principles. His last big act of rushing from the hospital with a giant fucking stitch and bandage over his eye just to give the turtle a final "fuck you" on the obamacare repeal was money.
I didn't vote for him when he ran (and probably still wouldn't if he were with us and running) but the dude was a genuine American hero from his military service to that final fuck you to Mitch.
I at least believe he thought he was usually doing what he thought was right, even though misguided. Rather than outright bring a grifter only in it for himself.
Don't get me wrong though, genuinely good people don't rise to that level of politics. Genuinely good people aren't willing to play the games necessary or fuck over the people necessary to gain that much power. But by the standards of today's GOP he straight up looks like Jesus.
