Senator John McCain is back in the hospital, being treated for "the normal side effects of his ongoing cancer therapy," his office announced in a statement on Wednesday. McCain was diagnosed earlier this year a virulent form of brain cancer.

It was not immediately clear how long McCain would be hospitalized.

I think most folks know what my thoughts on John McCain are, and I generally don’t mince words and go over the line from time to time.

I’m not glad he is dying. I am glad his destructive actions will be absent the halls of Congress for the first time since the 70s.

Yes it has been 40 years now that John has been a pox on this nation. I don’t believe we’ll ever know the full extent of it either.

God will.

As we confront John facing his Judgement Day, it’t not too early to flash forward to our own.

He has been a cancer on the republican party for decades. I guess sometimes karma really is a bitch. Hate to be so uncaring but he is just an angry, mean, nasty, old man who has been paid a wage by tax payers for way too long. He should be forcebly replaced.

If God has mercy on America, McCain will go away and be replaced by a conservative. Perhaps that could counterbalance the self-inflicted (or, at least Republican inflicted) wound of losing Sessions’ seat.

What do they have on McCain to force him to keep working? Or does he hate America that much? If it’s blackmail, does he not know they will betray him on his deathbed?

What happens if the Senate votes on the final tax bill next week and McCain is still in the hospital? Does he have to physically be in the Senate main room in order to vote?

I didn’t see McCain as a supporter of Trump.

I’m not sure that’s what you meant though.

How many of Trump’s judges has McCain opposed? Because the Democrat who replaces him will oppose all of them.

Chemotherapy administers poisons on the theory that they’ll do more harm to the cancer than the patient. The side effects can be serious indeed and often do require hospitalization to manage.

If God has mercy on America he will protect Trump against his enemies, foreign and domestic.

Won’t be a democrat at least until there is an election.

His hatred for DJT and traditional American values outweighs any other consideration.
