With McCain’s retreat, some turn to Romney to carry his torch
Washington Compost ^ | Feb 15, 2018 | Paul Kane

In more ways than one, followers of traditional Republican orthodoxy are facing an emotional inflection point this week.

Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), at home battling an aggressive form of brain cancer, will not attend this weekend’s Munich Security Conference, an annual gathering of foreign policy leaders from NATO nations that has become a central clearinghouse for global security matters and a celebration of Western values and democratic institutions.

McCain, an avatar of all of the above, has been a regular attendee for decades. Last year, less than a month after President Trump took office, he stole the show with a speech that denounced the new president’s refusal to condemn Russian President Vladi­mir Putin.

John McCain, the MSMs favorite Republican (and leaker). Now Romney will be taking his place.

Satan, please take Johnny home this weekend, so at least some news will overshadow the racist “Black Panther” hype.

Making him a defacto Dixie Chick.

Romney and McCain hate eachother. If Romney flipflops into an open borders phony he will lose the primary.

I’m guessing McCain wasn’t suppose to live this long, hence he was setup as the patsy in trying to take down an elected President Of The United States.

If there was some figure with a name-status running against Romney....I think he’d have some trouble in winning. But it appears it’s a straight path for him at this point. I would agree with your assessment....if the topic of the DREAM Act or DACA come up....90-percent of Utah won’t agree with his position.

McCain last regret is to not live long enough to see the death of the USA and its complete transformation into Mexico.

McCain is the most twisted individual I have ever watched on the national stage. Deeply disturbing actions on so many levels.

This is why gaining a lot of seats is important in the Senate - otherwise turncoats like McCain and potentially Romney to join him are truly who controls the place. With several extra seats they hold far less sway.
