A popular nickname for retired US Navy SEAL and Texas Congressman Dan Crenshaw. The nickname is a reference to John McCain, a RINO senator that Crenshaw holds similar views to and a reference to Crenshaw's dramatic choice to wear an eyepatch rather than just getting a glass eye like a normal person. Much like McCain exploited being a POW to further his political career and portray himself as a patriotic hero, Crenshaw's eyepatch is intended to remind everyone that he lost an eye for his country, while he subsequently supports policies that put the interests of other countries and global elites over those of his own country and those of his constituents.

Crenshaw is also known as "Zioclops", a reference to him having only one eye and his enthusiastic support for Zionist causes. He is also known as "Cringeshaw" due to how much of a disappointment he is to conservatives who thought he would be different based on his war veteran image, as well as his predilection for making cringe statements such as stating that the 2020 presidential election was not stolen and insulting members of the Freedom Caucus.
Eyepatch McCain suggested that criticism of Israel is not protected under the First Amendment when questioned by a Groyper at a speaking engagement.

A nickname for Sarah Palin who was virtually unknown until John McCain picked her as his running mate in the 2008, now she is considered a rising star in the Republican party
Before John McCain picked Sarah Palin as his running mate she was just an obscure governor most people had never heard of, now McCain's Monster has risen in prominence to become the de facto leader of the radical Tea Party movement.

To have a very conservative strategy when playing Super Smash Brothers in hopes to just be the last man standing while accomplishing nothing during gameplay.

This usually includes avoiding contact with other players altogether while occasionally throwing projectiles or using an item. A person who was John McCaining will usually end the match with a win and only one K.O.

Generally, this will cause everybody to detect that said player is John McCaining and then focus solely on knocking them off for several seconds, creating an adverse effect.

This practice can often be detected by hearing a flood of "come on, step it up" and "you're too slow."
"I can't believe I'm already down to one life, I think I'll be John McCaining the rest of this one out."

To have brought someone on board or associated yourself with someone whose embarrassing behavior makes you look bad and brings your character/judgement into question. Ultimately the choice to include this person leads ridicule and failure. This is in reference to McCain bringing on Sarah Palin as a running mate in the 2008 elections.

The man that most anyone would agree should have won the republican presidential nomination in 2000, and would have been a far better president than George W. Bush. However, whether he would make a better president than Obama is highly debatable.

He is also a tough son of a bitch. He was shot down over Vietnam, took a bayonet to the groin, and was held (and tortured) for 5 years in a Vietnam POW camp. Don't nobody fuck with McCain.
Why didn't we get John McCain instead of Dubya?
