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.
I will believe it when he is actually out of office. I fully expect him to die a senator.
Buh-bye.
What took you so long?
Can’t find a better source for this speculation. Would think it woyldbe everywhere if true. I feelbad for the man & his family.
I don’t if they can find a candidate further to the left than he is.
The chemo has probably laid him low even before the tumor.
Going to be difficult. The RAT bench is thin, and most of the potential Republicans already have their sinecure.
The dork stepped down from intelligence years and years ago.
Wish they were both biting the dust.
McCain, Flake, Cuckran, and Cucker all gone in the same year. There’s no way they will be replaced by bigger traitors. Not possible.
His monitor boot’s moved around too much lately, had to go.
There are some who cling to power until the uttermost bitter end. Nothing short of the hand of God will wrest from their grasp even the most minute shred of earthly glory.
I would not want to be at McCain's side when the inevitable comes, now almost certainly very soon. More likely than not, it would be a pathetic spectacle that would haunt one forever.
And I don't want to begin to imagine what it will be like for Hillary when her own time comes.
Now Im glad we have 2 exceptional people running for senate at the same time. Put in sheriff Joe!
I don't think it will be that long. My mom was diagnosed in January with what he has ...and we aren't sure if she'll make it to May. We are hoping she won't so her suffering is short-lived.
We love Tucson. Easy to get around and better weather than Phoenix. We are very happy here. Check it out.
John is known for much more than that....
How about the Keating 5?
How about his nick name...Song Bird...?
How about the aircraft carrier...the USS Forrestal ..?
What about his first wife? How did he treat her?
Don't have much respect for John McCain....
More like 6-9 weeks would be my guess.
Great News!!! Adios lettuce head.
McCain voted against the Bush tax cuts in 2001.
Sorry, but once he’s in a pine box he will return to the Senate to lie in state.
