"As I grew older I always warned people not to ask for my opinion if they didn’t want to hear exactly what I was thinking."

LOL! When I was still working, and any of my superiors asked me my opinion on something work-related, I never held back, but told them my true feelings. Apparently they never really cared what I, or anyone else thought, just went through the touchy-feely motions of asking employees for input. Eventually they stopped asking me because they never liked what they heard. That suited me fine, because they were nothing but phony's anyway...NY State government whores who danced to the tune of Albany politicians.

“Is the Governor of Arizona a Republican?”

Yes, but it does not matter, under AZ law he must appoint a replacement from the same party.

Congress is not exempt from Obamacare. They were on the Federal Employees Health Benefits Plan (FEHBP). In the signed ACA they are not exempt. They can purchase insurance through the DC Health Link exchange .

Like FEHBP, the members and their staffs have about 72 percent covered by the government (employer's share), but have to buy a gold plan to get that.

But as a vet, McCain also has TRICARE coverage, which would meet minimum essential coverage required by the ACA.

Hopefully his replacement will be a real conservative, not another RINO like McCain has been since he was selected to the senate,

And what has McCain done besides being a Soviet ace? The “ pampered playboy” has already done more for this country than you or me. Btw, I’m a 10 yr vet. F McCain. I hope he rots in hell.

“McCain will die in office, an obnoxious schemer until a very bitter end.”

I seriously doubt that. This cancer makes you a vegetable before it takes your life.

"but what are your thoughts on how LINDA GRAHAM is going to react to this?"

An all night binge at the local glory hole.

DU is wishing him well. Some say they dislike his politics while others say he’s one of the sane republicans. Most say they feel sorry for his diagnoses.

-I can relate to people’s pain, but like many that voted for him for president, he wasn’t my first choice.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glioblastoma#Prognosis

“The median survival time from the time of diagnosis without any treatment is 3 months, but with treatment survival of 1–2 years is common. Increasing age (> 60 years of age) carries a worse prognostic risk. Death is usually due to widespread tumor infiltration with cerebral edema and increased intracranial pressure.”

“..so if he beats this we could have this guy for another 20 years.”

Trust me, he isn’t going to beat this. He could well be gone before the end of the year, even with advanced treatment. In any event, he will be gone from the Senate in a matter of days if he has a shred of decency.

I assume this will be terminal.

As politicians go, I cannot stand McCain. Same for how he treated the families of POW-MIA. This GOA F-rated politician should have been voted out years ago.

That said, he is a sinner as we all are. I pray that he repents before his final moments. We can and should extend kindness to him and his family, as faithful Christians.

“Bottom line. McCain is out of the ball game for a long time.”

No, bottom line, he’s finished. There is no “long time” here.

""Further consultations with Senator McCain's Mayo Clinic care team will indicate when he will return to the United States Senate" "

Oh, he's got to come back so he can be coddled, and fondled over by all his friends on the Left. He wants the hugs, and kisses from the politicians he's colluded with all these years. He'll go, but he won't go easily. He'll stay until the last hurrah. Too bad he won't be able to hear his old pal Hillary, the fat lady, sing. Maybe he can get Linda to dress up like her, and sing as he rides off into the sunset. How many bets he'll have himself buried in Arlington? That's one funeral coverage I won't be watching.

Trust me, he isn’t going to beat this.

He might. They caught it very early, and got it all out. He'll have expidited access to the latest treatment options.

People with money/connections can get scans and tests frequently and regularly, and catch these things very early on... which greatly improves their odds of beating them.
