John McCain hasn’t returned to Washington because of flu concerns, his daughter says
Washington Post ^ | February 8 | Alex Horton

Sen. John McCain’s return to Washington during key legislative deliberations has been curbed in part by concerns over the deadly flu season, his daughter Meghan said Wednesday.

In an interview with Politico’s “Women Rule” podcast, the Arizona Republican’s daughter said her father, recovering from chemotherapy for aggressive brain cancer and a viral infection in December, is taking precautions that are keeping him in Arizona.

“Part of the problem, too, is like it’s this deadly, crazy flu season,” said Meghan McCain, a co-host of “The View” on ABC. “And his immune system is so down, everybody is worried about him getting the flu.” This flu season could be the worst in a decade, with 12,000 confirmed hospitalizations since the fall, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said in a report for the week ending Jan. 20.

McCain added that her father undergoes physical therapy at his cabin outside Sedona, focusing on his mobility following a tear in each Achilles’ tendon.

“Mentally, he’s 100 percent there,” she said. “It’s taken some time to get back to physical fighting form.”

Like many of the other communist leaders, McCain has the flu.

Get the obit ready for publication.

There is a very high likelihood that he will never return to the District of Corruption.

He’s dying. He’ll be gone in one month. Let him be. He’s done.

He has to be more than a little allergic to the POTUS TRUMP Truth & Justice climate in DC, too.

Could it be possible that John McCain will be the next Patsy Mink (D-HI). She was the representative suspected of dying long before she was officially declared dead so that the Democrats could maintain her seat until after an election?

It’s basically 51-49 in the Senate. Is the AZ governor GOP? Is that governorship up for re-election? Is the governor of the same ilk as Flake and McCain?

Could McCain be doing a final dying wish for his party? Or is he maybe waiting until a Dem wins the governors mansion so that a Dem can appoint McCain’s successor in one final F-U to Trump?

One hopes that John McCain (D-Mexico) responds favorably to cancer therapy, and enjoys a long and healthy and happy life.

And, one also hopes that Mister McCain retires immediately from the senate, leaving the seat for a genuine conservative who might work hard for our Precious Country instead of an apparent vengeance and spite-fueled collaboration with America-haters across the aisle .

When I went through chemo for breast cancer I was so drained I had to hold onto the wall to get down our hallway at home. And the ‘chemo fog’ was horrible.
Yeah I believe you Meghan.

Doug Ducey is a conservative and should win re-election this year. Ducey endorsed Trump in 2016.
