McCain has more than once expressed irritation at Cruz and his uncompromising version of conservatism. But it an ironic way, the former maverick from Arizona has only himself to blame.

In a fit of brilliance, when he was running for president in 2008, McCain chose the then obscure, but charismatic, telegenic, and capable then governor of Alaska Sarah Palin to be his running mate. The choice provided his campaign with a shot of energy, though not enough to overcome his own deficits as a candidate and the economic meltdown then occurring.

While McCain has sunk back to the obscurity of being a venerable senator, Palin, thrust as she has been in the national spotlight, has seen her stock soar. By her ability to lay hands on other political candidates and often give them the margin of victory, Palin has become the most powerful female politician on the planet, despite the fact that she holds no political office and has seen her political obituary written so many times and so thoroughly prematurely that it has become a cliché....

McCain refused to see the way his staff treated Sarah .. but we noticed.

He has long ago used up his 15 minutes of fame.

RE :”While McCain has sunk back to the obscurity of being a venerable senator, “

Vulnerable?? He's got four more years to cause trouble,

Since the last 2012 election McCain has caused nothing but trouble supporting all Obama’s major agenda items in the Senate. Gun control, taxes immigration, spending, everything Obama needs for his progressive legacy.

The Senate is NOT irrelevant. The House passage of Reids VAWA AS IS proved that.

McCain is a huge problem and it looks like he has decided to cause as much damage as possible before he retires.

Grahamnesty irks me even more than McCain does.
