So it’s completely unrelated to the Melanoma?

On a side note I hate this damn disease, hate every single poisonous cell that attacks anyone. Pray for a cure.

Yup, McCain's glioblastoma is totally unrelated to his melanomas. Had it been the latter he might have had a chance with meds like Jimmy Carter has taken for melanoma spread to the brain. But those drugs don't work for this.

Ted Kennedy lasted 15 months, but cast few votes over most of that time. He just kept his staff around as a resource for his party. But Obama had a big enough majority in both houses that Kennedy's vote was rarely needed (and if necessary Maverick would cross the aisle to provide an extra vote.) Trump doesn't have that luxury. The GOP has a tiny majority and all the potential mavericks start on its side. The patriotic thing for Captain McCain to do is to turn his vote over to another Republican, but fly PR top cover outside of office on the media as much as he's able. Trump can make up some suitable title for that role. And when he's not needed there he can spend time with his mom. They can compete to see who's stubbornness holds on to life the longest.
