Five and a half years after Senator John McCain killed off what was left of The Maverick - the independent-thinking, "not afraid to tell it like it is" character he'd been LARPing since the 2000 Republican primary - in order to win a contentious primary against Tea Party challenger J.D. Hayworth, he's facing the prospect of the end of his career once again. This time, it's against a state senator who's perfectly content with grifting votes at a Donald Trump rally. McCain's seat has been targeted by conservative groups for years now to no avail, but this time, it's a fair question to ask if McCain's heart is in it anymore. And even if it is: Does anyone even care?
McCain went from being the leader of the party in 2008 to the poster boy for RINOism almost immediately after, and the right wing was emboldened by his loss to blame his - and later, Mitt Romney's - perceived lack of conservatism for the party's failure to keep Barack Obama out of the White House. Over the past couple of years he's been at the forefront of a very public argument with ultraconservatives like Senators Ted Cruz, Mike Lee, and Rand Paul for control of the party, and McCain's tendency to work with Democrats on a few different issues have made him the right wing's biggest internal enemy.

Well how old is he? 156?
Good!
We need to purge the party of RINOs, top to bottom.
Kelli Ward ? who is running against him in the primaries is a FABULOUS SPEAKER....FABULOUS!!! She WILL WIN!!
Please let it happen. Can we have term limits, please?
It will be sweet to see McCain finally banished to the red rock hills of Arizona, stewing in his anger and tantrums. I’m sure he’ll still make occasional trips to Washington to allow Grahamnesty to snuggle some with him.
But the good thing is that he will no longer be able to inflict damage on our great nation and great people.
Now how many here held their noses while they voted for this old bastard in 08?
Please let it be so! That old codger makes me sick. It’s way past time for him to head back to Sedona and stay there...
Poster boy for term limits
I sure hope Kelli Ward prevails...I like her. But be alert for the standard RINO tricks (remember Mississippi), like having one or more False conservatives also enter the race to allow him to get a plurality by gullible local conservatives voting for one of the “conservative” primary vote dividers.
Didn’t read the piece but maybe because he sucks??
Thankfully, God imposed term limits on all of us. Otherwise stupid people would resign us to be ruled by elitists like McCainez forever.
..And in the end,
The votes you take
Are equal to the ones
You Fake
....Ahhhhh!!
This neutered bastard will be sucking off the taxpayers for the rest of his worthless life.
Maybe his retirement years will yield him time necessary to find his balls in Nam.
His military service, IMHO, is tantamount to dirty rags.
I wish I could be as confident as you regarding Kelli award, but the libs here are portraying her as a nutcase over the chemtrails hearing.
I did; and I did it again in ‘12.
No more.
McStain is a suppurating anal schism.
Bye. Bye!
