McCain: GOP Lawmakers Who 'See Weakness' May Challenge Trump in 2020
Newsmax ^ | 5 Aug 2017 | Wanda Carruthers

Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., said Republican candidates with their eyes on a White House run may be seriously considering the prospect of challenging President Donald Trump in 2020 because they "see weakness," The Hill reported Saturday.

"They see weakness in this president," McCain told The New York Times. "Look, it's not a nice business we're in."

The Times reported Saturday that Republican Sens. Tom Cotton of Arkansas and Ben Sasse of Nebraska, GOP Ohio Gov. John Kasich, and even Vice President Mike Pence could be laying the groundwork for a White House run in 2020.

McCain hasn't been shy about criticizing the president and has broken ranks with Trump as well as fellow Republicans on key issues. Most recently, he voted against the Senate GOP's "skinny" Obamacare repeal bill and on Thursday lambasted the president over his handling of the war in Afghanistan.

Don’t forget Rubio, he was helping them arm jihadists, too.

I guess the Attention Whore from Arizona was feeling a little neglected since all the publicity surrounding his return to the senate and his vote against his party and for Obamacare have died down.

[I urge the President to resolve the differences within his administration as soon as possible and decide on a policy and strategy that can achieve our national security interests in Afghanistan and the region,” McCain said in a statement]

“Meanwhile we in the Senate will continue to keep our thumbs up our a**es even though our thumbs are getting sore”

Ok, he who would be a challenger in 2020.

If you're so good, why didn't you run THIS time?

Come 2020, you better be good, you better be DAMNED good, because we aren't blaming President Trump for the lack of progress on his campaign promises, we're blaming the spineless backstabbing members of Congress of HIS party. And like as not, you who would be a challenger in 2020 are probably ONE OF THEM!

With that form of brain cancer, average is about a year.

He turns 81 this month which makes his prognosis worse so quite possibly less than that.

The kind of tumor he has, if he really has it, is very disabling and a horrible way to die.

He may be taking against President Trump now, but in just a few months, some $9.75 an hour nurses aid is going to be changing his diapers.

From the man who puts sleeze first, self second, GOP third, and country- what country?

You, Juan, sank repeal after Trump had a clear strategy. Hell, your party had a clear strategy right up to the point where it might actually have come to fruition.

And, what national security interests in Afghanistan? Please, Juan, I want a clear list of what they are and how important you think they are - goddamned globalist neocon who with your friends have landed us in the soup of Korea and China and single-handedly destroyed the world's finest Navy to pay for it all.

6 months to a year is my guess.
