as a cancer survivor myself, I do not wish this on the Senator or my worst enemy.

I can remember when John McCain was a Conservative.

Then, he “evolved” into the worst Republican presidential nominee since World War II.

Maybe it's something to do with Arizona?

Barry Goldwater, my political hero in the 1960s, swerved to the Left in his sunset years, too.

Senator McCain is not long for this world. A “GBM” as they are called, takes its victims with frightening speed and efficiency. It’s what killed Ted Kennedy. It’s arguably the most severe and aggressive brain cancer there is. I have read tone on GBMs, and the stories of its victims are terribly frightening, and I work in TV news every day, it’s damn tough to rattle me.

The Senator should step down forthwith. He needs to spend his remaining months with family. I had a mentor who was diagnosed after slurring on the air and he was in the grave 3 months later.

Pray for the Senator’s soul.

Poor Senator MacCain.
Incredible timing for sympathies in light of this Huge scandal:
Illegal Billion dollar Syrian (ISIS/Al-Nursa) rebel weapons project Timber Sycamore - a McCain & Graham pet project exposed for being the biggest scandal / bigger than the Iran Contra Scandal in the black market arms trafficking world.

Is he going to use the VA for treatment?

It’s okay, he wasn’t using it anyway.

Seems he was diagnosed with Glioblastoma‎ cancer. Seems prognosis in the past has been poor, but there may be a new drug with some effectiveness. From what I researched this cancer may automatically be considered Stage 4 since it spreads. No reports on MRI or CT Scans for other cancer sites.

Arizona’s governor will replace him. Their governor is a republican and as a matter of fact, the governor must replace a senator who dies with a member of the same party, so McCain’s replacement will have to be a republican

FTA:

“Subsequent tissue pathology revealed that a primary brain tumor known as glioblastoma was associated with the blood clot,” it added. (My emphasis.)

That's what killed Teddy Kennedy, Robert Novak, and Lee Atwater. It's the evil black queen of brain cancers with about a 0% survival rate. Prayers up for McCain and his family. It's just what many of us feared when the announcement was first made. He's a dead man walking.

I hope he repents for all the harm he has caused to the freedom-loving conservatives by siding about 70% with the progressive, communist democrats. He seems to be a true communist believer and he may not have much time to repent his massive sins.

Prayers that he finds absolution of his many sins before he dies.

But he still needs to GTFO of the Senate.

Senator McCain is in for a fight for his life. It’s not the first time. From his 2008 acceptance speech:

“My country saved me, and I cannot forget it. And I will fight for her for as long as I draw breath, so help me God.”

Senator McCain talks about going back to square one on health care, holding committee meetings, and working with Democrats.

I’m sorry, but the Senate that Senator McCain remembers doesn’t exist any more. Not one Democrat will vote to reform Obamacare, no less to repeal and replace it. If we, in the Republican Party, cannot do this thing, the monstrosity that is Obamacare will continue to implode, hurting millions of Americans for whom it is a cruel joke, holding back economic growth, and preventing us from balancing the budget by expanding revenue instead of by austerity.

He is lucky he is exempted from Zer0care because he would probably just get the red pill.

With all due respect, that is a funny comment, but I don't want to laugh or make fun at this time.

I disagreed with him often, but I certainly don't wish brain cancer on anyone.

Prayers for him and his family.
