Franks most pro-life and most Conservative.

Schweikert (my Congressman) is pretty good - but he may be too conservative, since Ducey will be under intense pressure to appoint a RINO.

Think Brewer’s husband OCARE exchange. She would not vote for repeal.

Traditionally, as long as the Senator can be gotten on the floor, the Senator’s staff carry on.

Exactly right. This happens with Supreme Court Justices too. As long as they can move their head a little bit, their aides do the tasks required.

The Senate would seem unlikely to expel a member in this situation. If he's not conscious at all and can't be propped up on the floor, he'll just be "Not Voting" on a lot of stuff.

James Inhofe is the next Senate Armed Services Committee Chair, a great improvement over McCain.

He should enjoy his remaining days while he is able to. His final days will be horrible.

an ordinary citizen of 80 years would probably not get any treatment.

At this rate the ordinary citizen would be prevented from even leaving the hospital

Less betrayal? Less aisle reaching? Less endorsing Dem POTUS candidates that YOU’RE SUPPOSEDLY RUNNING AGAINST?

He doesn't have ObamaCare. He has Senate gold plated insurance. It won't be good but it will be better than what the rest of us get.

I’m guessing they will roll him up to his senate desk in a wheelchair, drooling constantly
while one of his aides helps him press his vote button to whatever
vote McConnell wants McCain’s aide to help him press.

I believe he won’t finish his term.

That can bite people in the butt, too. A VIP-type says, “Oh I’m in better shape than other 80 year-olds, I want the most aggressive thing you can do,” and they find out an 80 year old is still, 80.
And then there’s Jimmah Carter...

I have wanted John McCain out of the Senate for years, as quickly as possible.

I was hoping it was quicker than this will be.

McCain is a deep DEEP State CIA Operative and even Deeper State Democrat posing as a Republican.

Democrats are devastated that their mole will no longer be active.

Jan Brewer would make a fine replacement...

Absolutely! Check out her book Scorpions for Breakfast: My Fight Against Special Interests, Liberal Media, and Cynical Politicos to Secure America's Border . She got that title from none other than Chuck Norris!

It is an absolute condemnation of what the United States has become that so many of our government elites die in their positions...just like Kings, Dukes and Lords.

The Senate w/o Juan is an improvement.

The media are going to have to find another prodigious creator of leaked, fake news.

And flying back and forth with a brain tumor? I just can’t see how he will be able to do this. I could be wrong.
