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.
This should absolutely be remembered; but I remember 2014 and people saying that McConnell and other such slime was preferable to a democrat winning their seat — I highly doubted that, and was basically told to "shut up and toe the line for our side"… nevermind the facts that the GOP elite have been all too happy to stab their base in the back and therefore aren't on our [the base's] side.
And collecting a paycheck for doing nothing!
Selfish little b*tch to the end.
Tempe and most parts of Mesa are OK too ... Avoid the meth capitals of the Phoenix metro area like Buckeye Laveen (called latrine by locals) and parts of AJ (Apache Junction). Lived some years in Tempe and Chandler and LOVED it. Mesa was declared the most conservative city in America followed by Lake Havasu City which is also the hottest inhabited city in America (124 last summer) though some Bullhead city people may disagree with that. Oh and stay away from Van Buren and 32nd street at night unless you like Twink hookers
I think he is much worse than everyone leads on. Also, the pics that have recently been released of him show him covered up to his neck...that tells me he is probably losing so much weight and they don’t want us to see.
It’s a matter of time. And if we hear of more and more people paying him a visit, we know the end is very near.
They’ll pty that seat from his “COLD DEAD HANDS”!!!
Maybe, he is still better than a Democrat. It’s all about the majority.
All the more reason to term limit them out.
Age and disease, Trump, age, Trump
Respectively reasons for quitting Senate
Remarkable
Senate Officials Confirm John McCain
Expected to Step Down from U.S. Senate
*************
Did they indicate if it would be voluntary
or involuntary?
BOOM!!!!!!
A friend was diagnosed at Mayo and they treated her and she was dead in four months.
His monitoring device breaking/bruising the skin so it's moved back and forth? /rhetorical
I’m sure there is another Democrat to take his place.
But he still occupies a space that makes one vote difference in his absence. He needs to resign and let someone functional fill that void..
I would never pray for a traitor. OK?
As sad as it is, Senator John McCain is 81 with a terminal condition and has been in the Senate for over 30 years. It really is past time for a successor
?
Oh please oh please oh please.
Let it be so.
If he dies, will Hanoi fly their flags at half mast? If Kerry dies will Hanoi declare a week of mourning? Fonda they’ll canonize.
