Trump and White House are silent amid McCain news
CNN ^ | August 24, 2018 | Betsy Klein,

(CNN)When Sen. John McCain's family announced Friday that he was ending medical treatment for aggressive brain cancer, the news shook Capitol Hill and prompted support from his Republican and Democratic colleagues alike. But one prominent voice was missing: President Donald Trump's.

The White House press office did not react to the news, and when Trump traveled to Ohio in the evening he did not mention the ailing senator in a nearly hour-long speech to Ohio Republicans, which ran a gamut of topics from the death of Mollie Tibbetts to NFL protests to Kanye West.

Of course. CNN is going to take any comment and run with it any dirty way they can (like always). It’s a no-win situation.

I’m so sick of this adoration for the traitor McCain. This man has done as much damage to American national security as anyone in The Swamp. Thank you Mr. President for not joining the chorus of glowing admiration for that POS!

Nothing to say until they announce he is dead.
(he might be already, they just needed it to be after the primary)

Of course the White House is silent. The fireworks and marching band performance don’t come until AFTER the announcement of McCain’s passing is made. :-P

CNN mad because Trump is not delivering a fake tribute, even though the man is not yet dead.

To be expected from the masters of Fake News.

(he might be already, they just needed it to be after the primary)”

The primary doesn’t effect his seat. He’s not up until 2020. The open seat in AZ is Flake’s. Owing to the timing (its beyond the date when McCain’s seat would have to have a special election), when McCain passes, it’s up to the governor to appoint his replacement and it MUST BE a Republican.

The Gov. did not want to name Meghan until he was safely past his primary.

An old article, but still appropriate as he gets ready to meet his maker and explain his actions:
