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.
how sad/s
Only way he would ever leave......
That will be a great day for America and Arizona.
Die, traitor.
Tell me if he needs a push....
Times up.
So who is the DNC going to pick as his replacement?
Good, it’s way past time for him to bow out.
McCain should retire NOW, let the governor pick an interim replacement that can represent the state now and compete in November as the sitting Senator.
Ding, dong, the witch is dead....too soon?

That is a fine example of the permanent ruling class that has slowly taken over this country. Although technically elected positions, virtually all become appointments for life. And in many cases, when that Senator or Congressman dies, their seat is “inherited” by their wife or child.
It is hard for humans to break those old habits of an imperial ruling class. A lot of people are very comfortable with it.
Christmas comes early.
Well that’s several years and lots of damage too late.
He will leave the Senate when he is in the Pine Box.
I have a feeling that within the next 6-9 months, the flags will be flying at half mast.
Appoint sheriff Joe to replace McCain, and have Kelli replace Flake.
Hope the AZ governor chooses a decent replacement.
PS, I’m starting to contemplate a move from Washington state to Arizona. I’m retired now and can’t abide the thought of being soaked by taxes in my old age to fund the insanity in this crazy place.
The biggest GOP security leakier in the last 30 years is nearly done.
The last of the Keating 5 will be gone from the Gov.
Now if we can just keep Cindy or Megan from getting appointed to his seat....
