(CNN) On Friday morning, at a ceremony in the Capitol Rotunda honoring the late John McCain , Vice President Mike Pence quoted Donald Trump on the late Arizona senator: "As President Trump said yesterday, we respect his service to the country." I know Trump and McCain didn't get along in life and Trump did the whole flags-at-full-staff thing but I'm glad Trump took the high road -- even if it took him a little while to get there. BLOOMBERG: "Would he -- would McCain have been a better president than Obama?" Surely Trump saying that McCain would have made a better president than Obama wouldn't cause that sort of reaction, right? That's really something given that Trump, in August 2016, tweeted this about Obama : "President Obama will go down as perhaps the worst president in the history of the United States!"
