Praising Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), now battling brain cancer, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer on Tuesday said McCain is thinking beyond the health care bill.

“You know, I love the man,” Schumer (D-N.Y.) told a news conference on Tuesday, after the Senate vote on a motion to proceed to a health care bill that is open to amendments.

“He's a great man," Schumer said of McCain. "We've been close friends. He even said to me when I called him this weekend, ‘Let's get immigration reform done,’ so he's thinking of the future. As you know, he and I worked on that [2013 comprehensive immigration reform] bill. And it was great to see him back, strong as he was.”

I am not praying for him but hoping that events take their course on an accelerated schedule.

I think McCain thinks his maneuvering essentially makes him the “president”...able to grab spotlight and drive policy and direction as he sees fit.

McCain is dying of brain cancer but can show up for work when and only when it serves his purpose.

Satan is a demanding boss.

John McCain is a "dead Senator walking," who won't live long enough to live with the impacts of his votes.

I'd bet death will overtake McCain before immigration reform would ever get done.

McCain has a very aggressive form of brain cancer as opposed to how fast legislation gets approved in Wash DC.

<< “ ..... more health care providers in the Brighton Beach ZIP code.....Sen Schumer’s district..... are currently barred from then-current healthcare programs for malfeasance than in almost any other ZIP code in the United States. “ >>

An extraordinary “tell” that Schumer + something smells.

He’s insane. Would never override presidential veto.

Is McCain officially switching parties?

Russian collusion in healthcare!

C’mon Chuckie Schmuky, let’s open up a separate investigation into a new Russian collusion category.

Trump will back you up on that one...

Nice find, Liz.

Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-NY) who was micromanaging the Trump/Russia
collusion issue, asserted that, "After Trump fired Comey over Russiagate an atmosphere of fear has
gripped the nation." Schumer said he's scared ****less to even go to a gas station.

Here's what happened to Schumer last time he gassed up.

He’s the most phony congressman there is.

Schumer smells just as bad of corruption as Harry Reid did.

These Dems are so despicable. We’re gonna have fun kicking a lot to them out in 2018.

Since it now comes out that he was lobbied by Biden and Schumer, and rolled over for them, it’s a done deal!

But then he’s been playing for the other side since he threw the ‘08 election
