To some this up unless McCain resigns or dies he stays in. Gov. Ducey is a Republican.

McCain is a deep DEEP State CIA Operative and even Deeper State Democrat posing as a Republican.

Democrats are devastated that their mole will no longer be active.

The Senate w/o Juan is an improvement.

The media are going to have to find another prodigious creator of leaked, fake news.

Recall that Thurmond and Byrd both missed many Senate sessions in their final days. Neither resigned (IIRC).

McCain’s daughter is age 32, according to Wikipedia. He and the party could have her appointed to fill out his term. His current term began January 2017, so his seat is not up until 2022 — unless AZ has a special law for filling vacated terms.

I’m putting this in as my prediction. Governor Ducey appoints himself. It’s 7 months into a six year term. Ducey is up for re-election next year. Why wouldn’t he and he can, apparently.

It would not surprise me to see McCain stay in even if he couldn’t talk or feed himself, just to screw conservatives and Trump.

Ducey is a friend of DeWit, who is a Trumper. Word is DeWit would be the choice.

David Bossie of Citizens United met with DeWit and another guy-—forget his name-—a couple of weeks ago and said they would fund either of these guys vs. Flake. (But not Kelli Ward, for some reason).

The tumor, a glioblastoma, is a highly malignant, aggressive, cancerous tumor, according to the American Brain Tumor Association.

Wasn't this the type of brain tumor that they were treating with the Polio virus in the past year or two?

Pelosi probably already has a plan.
Convince AZ voters that McCain’s years of service mean Cindy McCain should be appointed to replace him.

She gets appointed, and then two weeks later announces she is changing to RAT.
We already know she is a BIG supporter of Emily’s List

I’d hate to see McCain go downhill as these treatments debilitate his body. I hope he retires with dignity.

It will be interesting and telling to see whether McCain chooses to remain in Washington DC with his political friends or return home to Arizona to spend his final days with his people.

I’ll wager he chooses politics over family.

What happens if McCain can’t go back to work in the Senate?
The sun shines brighter.

We have one less Democrat in the Senate.

“What happens if McCain can’t go back to work in the Senate?”

Well, I will head to a beach and sit on a log. I’ll sip brandy and eat a piece of fresh homemade apple pie as I listen to the crashing of the waves and songs of seabirds, as I gaze with delight at a beautiful sunset.

I know what will happen if he does go back to work... The Rino will roll up his sleeves and go back to work helping the democrat party beat conservatives and do all he can to help them destroy Trump’s presidency.

Thanks for nothing John McCain.... Truly for nothing.

All these really old DC swamp rats like McCain and Feinstein go to Walter Reed every weeks or so to get an injection of a super Dr Feelgood cocktail that keeps them going like demons. Hillary gets the same. They are all getting juiced courtesy of the taxpayer who they then screw with open borders.
The above is not proven but what I think is going on. This is why these moldy old Old Senate effers never resign due to ill health or miss an election. They just keep on going like they sold their soul to the devil.

Trick question as he never has worked in the senate before. May have been present but never actually got any work done.

In my experience among friends and acquaintances who were diagnosed with glioblastoma the life expectancy is in the 4 month range. In two months, all I’ve known were bed ridden with a morphine pump in hand. At some point after that, hospice will remove the regulation on the morphine and the patient can punch out anytime after that.

Survival rates are less than 4%.

John McCain faces a very grim reality. My advice to the Senator would be go home and spend his few remaining good days with his family.

With the Republican majority razor-thin, if I were a Republican Senator I would take personal offense if McCain tied up a needed vote by refusing to resign yet be unable to vote.

On the other hand, I could see a spiteful McCain hoard his useless vote just to spite the Trump agenda.
