There’s a video of McCain making an emergency visit to the Senate floor to vote no on repeal of Obamacare.
The way he did it was repugnant showing an awful character. He came into the chamber and without saying a word, his mouth gaping open, his eyes darting around, he held his fist out with a thumbs down and did a 360 with his thumb down. This delighted the democrats, their liar media was ecstatic and ran with it for a week.
To understand McCain is to understand that he has an ‘R’ by his name only because AZ is a Red State and because he took over Barry Goldwater’s seat.
How does he get elected?
His campaign draws out democrats to crossover in the GOP primary to nominate McCain as the GOP Senate candidate. He destroys any other GOP primary runners this way and also by running ads nonstop alleging wrongdoing by his GOP opponents even if not true.
So he gets the nomination and after that, it’s a cakewalk for him to be reelected.
In sum, McCain is a democrat with GOP cover.
He is truly an awful person.
If Flake votes no as will McCain or his wife Cindy, then Trump’s nominee will be not be confirmed even with Pence.
Right now, it’s a very safe bet to think that Flake is getting all kinds of deal offers in return for his NO vote. Maybe Netflix will get him something on the level of the $65,000,000 deal they gave Obama. On the other hand, the Trump camp may release some actionable dirt on Flake that will have him vote YES. At this point I could care less what is done to Flake to get his YES vote, he is scum just like more than half the Senate is.
Since there are 54 Republican seanators, even without Flake and McCain, it would be 52-48 without Pence’s vote. I don’t see how this doesn’t go through despite Dems hand wringing.
AZ has had lots of Democrats in high office. McPain would have unbeatable as a Democrat too, or would he?
