I could see special arrangements being made for McCain to continue. The Democrats may even suggest it.

I seem to remember a Senator being brought to the Senate floor on a stretcher to vote on something. Don't know if he was conscious or not.

Well Meghan McCain does have a couple of nice big assets.

She is. She was born 10/23/84, so she’s 32. You have to be 30 or older.

McCain will have to be carried out of the Senate. He loves the power and the perks. This report says he already had the surgery and is doing well.

Of Course, it is CNN.

I would be willing to bet that zero retirement announcements will be made in 2017 for McCain, and he keeps hinting of a January 2018 return.

If you look at the one single poll done on the 2018 governor’s race in AZ....the current guy (Ducey, GOP) is running behind the suggested Democratic replacement. Wouldn’t shock me if McCain tries to hold on until November of 2018 to let the democrat pick the replacement.

Do believe that Sarah Palin still owns property in Arizona. Her appointment would be what I would call justice.


It would be justice. She has the added advantage of having stood by McCain, so no one can call her “disloyal”.

She would be a great Senator.

The LA Times did a piece on Daughter McCain, and she says she Loves Lena Dunham.

And Cindy McCain had something to do with the Vagina monologues.

Who paid for that overseas trip to get the Fake Dossier from a foreign agent, again?

I don’t know anything about Gov Ducey but why wouldn’t he just pick himself instead of risking reelection?

I’m sure the kickbacks are a lot bigger for a junior senator than for a small state governor.

Dr Ward would be a good choice but why not pick yourself?

I absolutely loath Senator John McCain. I also am in awe of Captain McCain the pilot although his skill in the air was not that great. In prison in Hanoi he was a damn good man to be admired. For this he should be commended.

To be even talking about what how and when he might be replaced due to illness is just plain damn wrong.

He said that’s what McCain told him.

The governor is a Trump supporter in a state where both senators are nevertrumpers. I believe he will make his decision in close consultation with Trump.

I say Jeff DeWit, AZ State Treasurer, & Trump's AZ Campaign Manager. He was in early on Trump and he is a firebrand. 44 years old. His wife's not too bad either. Let Kelli Ward take out Flake

The McCain’s aren’t giving up that seat for nothing, and just letting the Gov. choose.

McCain picks who gets the seat, just watch.

Swamp people.

Not according to the stories told by other who were there with him in that prison and who know more than they want to say.

I give him credit for being a veteran. He long ago used that chip up. Now he’s just an idiot.

If he had an ounce of class he would not have run for Senator in 2016.
