According to The Arizona Republic, McCain, before leaving Washington to get cancer treatments in Arizona, reportedly spoke to Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) about joining forces again to pass the Gang of Eight bill. After joining Sens. Susan Collins (R-ME) and Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) to defeat the GOPs skinny repeal of Obamacare, McCain, who has always wanted to be known as a straight-talking independent, was lionized by Democrats and the legacy media, with CNN paying homage to his maverick moment.
Referring to the Gang of Eight bill, McCain told the Republic on Thursday that he wanted to reintroduce the same package that was passed through the United States Senate and never taken up in the House.
Immigration reform is one of the issues Id like to see resolved, McCain reportedly added. Ive got to talk to him (Schumer) about when would be the best time. I think there are all kinds of deals to be made out there. I really do.
According to the Republic, McCain, who turns 81 on Aug. 29, is in a more reflective place in his long Senate career as he faces his serious health challenge and undergoes chemotherapy.

Why? Because he’s terminal?? A sympathy vote? Things done based on emotion rarely result in a positive outcome.
Frankly, WGAF what John McCain wants.
this man is sick in more ways than one. the word “evil” comes to mind.
He’s trying to make it about himself. This guy is a degenerate.
We MUST remove the Amnesty Senators
Corker, Hatch, Heller and Flake in 2018
Graham and Alexander in 2020
Murkowsky, Hoeven and Rubio in 2022
Didn’t I hear that Juan was a veteran? I say let him go the pre Trump VA hospital route for his treatment. In six months his corpse can get its initial exam.
House will kill and Trump would VETO but thanks for wasting more time getting nothing done McCain(D Washington DC).
Utterly useless.
He’s just wants nothing to get done about anything, including tax reform. What a horrible person.
Scorched earth!
Yes, and I think he is also legacy building...wants the elitists and globalists to remember him fondly ;(
Isn’t he expired yet? This self-love reprobate wants to “last tag” America with more of his anti-American lunancy.
They will have to bury him in an unmarked grave so as to avoid “desecration .
If that’s the case, I hope he never returns. Bury his ass.
Never going to happen McLame, and you won’t hold the country hostage for your “legacy”.
Drop dead, John.
May he never return.
Yes, an unpleasant thing to witness.
Thinking of my old friend’s decline I wonder if he’ll even see 2018 come in.
I think there are all kinds of deals to be made out there.
Rino = Democrat
Apparently McCain is not interested in his legacy including anything that would be beneficial to every day American citizens!
Oh, how I wish I could say what I really think of McQueeg.
Just like T.Kennedy the Congress will come unglued for their comrade, and pass anything he wants as though it’s his last meal before execution.
