John McCain calls brain cancer prognosis 'very poor'

WASHINGTON (AP) - U.S. Sen. John McCain says doctors have given him a "very poor prognosis" as he battles brain cancer.

McCain underwent surgery in July for a brain tumor that was later found to be a form of glioblastoma, the same type of cancer that took the life of his former Senate colleague Edward M. Kennedy in 2009. McCain tells CBS' "60 Minutes" in an interview that aired Sunday night that he thinks about Kennedy a lot. He says Kennedy continued to work despite the diagnosis and "never gave up because he loved the engagement."

Governor Ducey is the establishment. He will do the appointment and it most likely will not be Kelli Ward who ran against him last election.

I would hope he would resign and spend his remaining time with his family. I know I would.

John, I don’t wish you bad. I just want Obamacare repealed like you promised. I just want a wall like you promised. I am against amnesty like you promised.

Me either, I wish he would resign from the Senate immediately and spend the time he has left with his family.

Rather than wish him ill, I’ll only say this...

He’s in his 80’s and is already on bonus time. Something will eventually get all of us. Most will probably not live as long as he has.

Hate to be callous but this reminds me of the scene in Wall Street when Gekko says to Bud Fox about mixed emotions . . . ‘like seeing Sir Lawrence Wildman going over the cliff in my brand new Maserati’.

No one wants to see someone go like this, my Mom had brain cancer that she was thankfully able to live with for years but John McCain put his ego in front of the needs of the American people and lied about it. He needs to publicly apologize to Americans for throwing them overboard to feed his ego.

His first No was supposedly because his Governor said the first pass was bad for his state and that’s what he stated publicly. This last one was strongly favored by his Governor and he still shot it down. He clearly lied about the first one, never mind his campaign ad lies.

[I cannot wish him ill, as my mother died of the same condition. ]

Well, McLame certainly doesn’t care about your mother’s condition, since he’s shot down all of the Obamacare repeal attempts since Trump has been in office, simply b/c he holds a grudge.

The guy is over 80. He has had a good run. He should hang it up and spend his time getting right with God and his family.

“John McCain calls brain cancer prognosis ‘very poor’”

Inasmuch as his brain is going, he should resign and stop traitorous activities.

Sooner or later, the Grim Reaper will call. Dear God, May it be sooner. This planet really needs to be detoxed.

One can also hope that once he buys the farm that the media will stop treating us to the feeble thoughts of his stupid, ignorant, narcissistic, fat, ugly daughter too. (did I mention that she was stupid?)

Sadly the sooner McStain sticks his spoon in the wall the better off the US senate will be.

Maybe this is true, and maybe it isn’t.

I think there’s every reason to believe Juan’s looking for sympathy after throwing a wrench in the 0care repeal works.

I suggest he spend more time getting right with the Lord rather than the voters, as he’ll be giving an account of his life to the Most High soon.

“He’s “reached across the aisle” into a nest of venomous snakes way too many times.”

More like ‘reached around.”

He’s desperate to get amnesty for illegal aliens and finish off the Republic.
