I suspect McCain’s support is because the governor has asked him to retire so he can appoint a successor. There was probably some implied threat to take action if McCain doesn’t retire. What that might be, I can’t say. But its odd that McCain would say something like his, “I’d reluctantly support it if the governor does.” Then, later that same day the governor was explicit in his support. McCain is in grief’s “bargaining stage.” “Just let me stay a Senator and I’ll support your position.” Retirement and death are one and the same as far as people like McCain are concerned. McCain is living, soon dead, proof that there should be term limits.
Maybe that is the bargain for appointing MeAgain McCain as she has opined she is ready.

I think you will be proven right about J. McCain.
His job = Himself. Many men of that generation are that way, for better or worse. Now many men AND women identify as such.
It will be that much more difficult if Universal Guaranteed Income really takes hold within the next twenty years.
