Sen. John McCain is not expected to return the Washington D.C. politics, according to several sources who are closely monitoring his health and medical treatments at his ranch in Arizona.
In fact, the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee is already in the process of selecting a candidate to run for McCain’s senate seat in a special election after McCain’s expected retirement from the Senate, sources said. Candidates were contacted this week in fact as Democrats jockey to find new blood to oppose the GOP-held seat in Arizona.
“At this point, we are coming to terms that McCain is done here (in the Senate),” one Senate insider on the Hill said Wednesday. “Preparations are underway to deal with this.
Just weeks ago, a White House official said McCain — known for his anti-Trump leaks to the media and his connection to the bogus Trump dossier — was refusing to step down from the Senate despite his reported stage IV brain cancer diagnosis and treatments.
Now, sources said, the GOP and Democrats are prepping for a likely special election for his Arizona senate seat. First, however, if McCain were to retire, the governor of Arizona would appoint an interim Republican to fill McCain’s seat before a special election.
That would give the GOP another vote in the Senate as McCain has been absent since Christmas.
John McCain may never cast another vote in the U.S. Senate.
But he plans to stay in Arizona and the U.S. Senate, according to a high-level White House source, regardless of GOP-backed pressure for him to retire from the Senate.
John McCain is a pretty good runner for a guy with a boot on his leg.
Or legs. He switches the boot to different feet, all while recovering from an alleged “Achilles tear.”
Another lie in a career-long list of lies, half-truths and manipulations stretching the truth from Washington D.C. to Arizona to Vietnam and back again. Several times.
So it was of little surprise that when the bogus Trump dossier reached a fever pitch of debate and finger pointing on Tuesday, McCain was nowhere to be found.
Missing In Action.
Again.
Is McCain even in D.C? No. Sources report he is still at his $15 million mountain-top compound in Arizona. Is he under treatment for his Stage IV cancer treatment. No one is saying. Like always with everything McCain, it’s hard to believe what is true and what is polished hype to make him appear to be a hero.
But this was predicted in December and even before. True Pundit reported McCain would not return to D.C. if the dossier scandal stayed hot. it has. And McCain is not in the Beltway.
It will be a good day for the United States when DEMOCRAT John McCain retires.
He has no cancer. He’s Faking It!
The cheom will kill him.
I still believe he’ll die before he resigns.
These preparations are for his death.
Since Senators are almost immune from primaries and serve for life, we need a thirty year old conservative.
Agreed. Sheriff J. is not the answer here.
Here’s my shocked face :-0
Looks like AZ has three conservative congressmen, in Biggs, Gosar, and Schweikert.
Do we think the guv will name one of them?
So, you believe Christ gave you an excuse not to forgive?
This is on top of what 20 R's in the house taking a powder, and LS has predicted the Dem's will probably bow out at some point, as they got dirt under their fingernails as well.
I was predicting 20, but could it go as high as 100 new members (?), that is my question...
So who is the DNC going to pick as his replacement?
FLAKE
Yea I do. We are at war and you don’t spend time forgiving when warring. Maybe 100 years later.
Meghan?
Senators preach about ethics and morals and when it's time to display ethics and morals they fail. McCain isn't returning to the senate. When there is a GOP Governor who would "work" with Trump and the Senate Campaign Committee, they should put their heads together and appoint a replacement for the best of the nation - only problem is that McCain isn't going to let that happen.
Step or fall?
Well........bye
What about his betrayal of the left behind Vietnam War POW/MIAs and their families in 1992?
B@st@rd Traitor.
How close are you to having to explain that logic to Him face to face?
Remember, this isn’ about your pride in an FR debate.
The Big C is a scourge. I wish more could be done to prevent/cure it. The most the cancer specialists can promise is to let you live longer with it.
