Another article has him getting better. Perhaps another 6-12 years of Juan ‘Songbird’ mccain.

McCain. Many people go on book tours pimping their own book. He goes on a death tour pimping his own death

The Arizona voters are largely to blame. They kept reelecting this Manchurian senator WAY PAST his flatline date.

Indeed...it’s long past time for the POS to retire. People like him treat their senate or representative seats as though they were lifetime appointments instead of elective office. Even if we can’t have term limits, there ought to be something in place that mandates if a member of Congress is no longer able to perform their duties, they are required to retire.

I believe that most of us have been ticked of with McLame being in the Senate for a long as he has been.

Term limits would solve the problem.

It is an open question as to when, if at all, McCain will return to the Senate. His staff is still handling constituent services, but he is missing votes, hearings, and all other obligations. He is not doing the job. He cannot do the job.

....and yet, McCain is still supposedly issuing statements saying he doesn't want President Trump at his funeral, he opposes Gina Haspel's nomination for CIA director, he wants to name his own successor, etc. Makes you wonder who really is making these statements under the pretense of being John McCain.

Members can only be expelled for disorderly behavior

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gladys_Spellman had a stroke and entered a coma , but got reelected 4 days later. congress called her seat vacant.
She lived four more years.
Btw, Steny Hoyer was her replacement in special election.

Maybe it’s time to convert the Senate into an old age home.

McCain last left Washington in December of lst year and he HASN’T RETURNED and he HASN’T VOTED in the Senate. He likely NEVER will return to the Senate alive.

Once he has died he may well be moved to Washington for burial and to be LIONIZED AS A GREAT SENATOR and patriot. Which is, of course, akin to lionizing him as on of the GREATEST AMERICAN PILOTS.

Actually, the open primary system in AZ protected McCain.

This is where I insert the obligatory disclaimer about McCain being a hero and praise his military service and sacrifice. It is not just a formality, it is actually true.

I stopped reading there. Derek, if you want people to read your articles don't write nonsense!
