McCain Emails Supporters: I’m Worried I May Not Win Reelection Easily

U.S. Senator John McCain is asking for funds as the strong threat of a Republican primary challenger looms heading into 2016. Tuesday afternoon he made a hard push for contributor cash to Friends of John McCain email subscribers.

McCain’s appeal letter opens by thanking supporters, and acknowledges his 2016 campaign would face a “unique set of challenges.”

McCain writes, “I’m going to be the target of a wide array of powerful groups,” meaning conservative critics. The letter invites the reader to “help to build a formidable campaign organization.” He adds, “There are few certainties in life,” then tries to encourage backers: “I am certain I will not be able to run for re-election unless I have your support.”

The McCain team is clearly reaching out to his base. The letter targets Obama’s foreign policy and cites America’s vulnerability because of a weak strategy that’s emboldened our enemies. “The result is that our nation is now in greater danger than at any time in our lives,” the letter adds.

The letter asks the reader to “stand with” McCain “at this pivotal time,” calling contributions to his campaign “much needed.”

At the close of the email McCain indicates his decision whether to run will “come soon” while suggesting a donation will help that decision along. “I need to know where you stand.”

The letter contained no fewer than six links to donate to the campaign.

The potential true conservative primary challengers to McCain need to put their heads together and decide which ONE will be a primary challenger to McCain (unless the Arizona Republican Party requires a top-two runoff if no candidate gets a majority in the primary).

It would be SO sweet to see this despicable NON-CONSERVATIVE sent out into a well deserved banishment.

Build the dang fence, loser.

Let’s hope that the AZ voters are not fooled for a fourth time.

It will probably be state senator Kelli Ward of Havasu.

She's thinking of announcing.

And she's a conservative!

Go Kelli!

John, Why not just run your commercials from last time? You know, like the “Complete The Danged Fence” commercial.

I am sure old McLame is making a hard run to the right again.

Poor Johnny. If he retires today, he gets full pay the rest of his life. He should be sitting on the front porch in Arizona taking pictures of butterflies at his age.

How stupid can they be? He’s been plainly betraying them with his support for “Comprehensively Screwing Americans Out Of Their Country”.

The fence did not get built because Kay Bailey Hutchinson took the funding out with an amendment to another bill. Most of the GOP Senators are traitors.

I tried to reply to that email and it bounced back. I guess my old friend John isn’t interested in any feedback.
