McCain's blood clot may be more significant than first thought
CNN ^ | July 17, 2017 | Debra Goldschmidt

"It's a significant operation," he said, adding that general anesthesia was used and "there was obviously an abnormality that was concerning enough for him to go through this." Gupta prefers to refer to the clot as an "abnormality" because lab results are still pending and, "it's a pretty significant size of compression on that part of the brain."

So by telling us nothing they’ve actually told us all we need to know.


You might well be right, but your comment makes me feel like I’m living in the USSR. Citizens figured out what was really going on by what/who was not in Pravda rather than what was in it.

So he catches a bit of the Clintons’ “I don’t recall that” problem.

The only reasons not to say for political reasons are the same reasons why our ever so curious MSM was curiously incurious in the case of the late Teddy Kennedy’s terminal glioblastoma.

You are saying what I’m thinking. Spent 6 days in CCU with a relative who died last month - don’t wish ill health on anyone.

BUT I have been praying that McCain would retire soon, leaving the reason(s) for retirement up to God, in his wisdom, to determine. McCain is so toxic as a faux Republican & doubly toxic to Trump’s presidency because he’s so beloved/used by the enemedia - he needs to go home & stay there.

He resigns due to health reasons or he can’t testify due to brain problems.

Works for me. As long as he's gone

I am NO fan of McCain, but I had a family member diagnosed with this, and it is pretty serious. Prayers up.

Perhaps John McCain may never return to the well of the Senate, and that sort of puts the kibosh on any action on the Senate version of health care reform for now.

It is one thing to hold a seat open for Gabby Giffords in the House of Representatives, but that was not a critical thing in relation to the passage of one version of legislation over another.

Actually, I’ve come to appreciate MM, after years of pretty much hating her. She’s become much more conservative than before, and has chewed up and spit out Juan Williams, Jessica Tarlov, and other libs. I love it when she tears into them. Still, I believe that FNC must is compromised when it comes to content if Traitor Daddy is a topic; they’ll have to avoid it to alleviate an uncomfortable situation. Meghan is much more conservative than her feckless father.

He should step down now. AZ has a Rep Gov so at least we would get a Republican Senator.

Yep, you certainly won't know what's going on by just reading or listening to the MSM these days. I look in the comment section following an article to find the actual truth. Like the kid shouting "The Emperor has no clothes" the truth will stand out among the lies due to its obvious and simple explanation of the facts without any attempt at obfuscation.

And when the comment section is closed I tend to believe the entire article is a lie.

My two wishes for Sen. McCain:

1. Make a full recovery, and

2. Retire from the Senate. Now.
