Now is the time for Conservatives to lay out the ground rules for potential challengers.

Campaign as hard & fair as you want, but two to three months before the Primary, get together in the proverbial “smoke filled room” and AGREE on which ONE has the best chance to unseat McCain.

Then EVERYONE else announce that they are withdrawing and giving the remaining challenger their FULL support.

RINO incumbents stay in office because the conservatives run multiple challengers in the Primary, thereby diluting the challenger vote.

We need to get behind the best conservative candidate rather than wait for the “perfect” challenger.

And none of this massive ego trip of running as an Independent or Libertarian.

McCain is the perfect example of why an individual running for office in the executive branch should not be either seeking reelection in the legislative branch or should resign before seeking the other office.

I read where he is the most unpopular Senator in the country with his own home state. If that is true this time he is dead on arrival.

I think that just about every single time I see a post about Mccain- then feel guilty about it - then really don’t care.

This guy is a menace and backed by the Devil.

Considering he was at the BOTTOM of his Annapolis class, it’s a wonder he even made it INTO flight school.

Oh, that’s right ... ... his Daddy was an admiral.

**************************************************************************************************
I believe that in McCain’s case in 2010, the fact that going into the primary he had a war chest of about $20million allowed him to defeat his opponent.

In 2016, I don’t think a war chest of $200 million would allow him to win the primary against a competitive challenger.

Sad that I voted for this POS because he was the lesser of two evils.
