I have no news story to link to here. To the contrary, I havent seen this question asked once in the flood of coverage since Kennedys announcement yesterday. So lets ask it.
With McCain out, Senate Republicans have zero margin for error on the nomination. Its 50/49. Either Susan Collins or Lisa Murkowski or anti-Trumpers Jeff Flake and Bob Corker, both of whom are retiring could sink the nominee if Democrats hang together. And they will, I think. The Democratic base will get so hot over this that Manchin and the rest of the red-staters will hang back to see what Republicans are doing. If Collins or anyone else makes some disapproving noises that imperil the nominee, pressure from the left on Manchin et al. to vote no and kill the nomination will be enormous. Its easy to imagine red-state Dems supporting a nominee whos going to be confirmed anyway on a party-line Republican vote. Its almost unimaginable that theyd *rescue* a nominee whos headed for defeat due to a Republican split.

Maybe God will intervene.
If they can’t show us McLame is still alive in an interview with someone we can trust then he’s a dead man. Malkin would be a good choice.
Isn’t it telling that the democrats hope he is alive (because they know/hope/believe McCain will vote against Trump), and the republicans can trust him only when he is dead?
“We dont know enough about his diagnosis to be precise - I bet its melanoma, not a glioma - but the fact that hes been out this long PROBABLY means times almost up.”
The tumor is putting up a valiant effort but “Crash” McCain just refuses to succumb.
If only he had shown such determination against the North Vietnamese.
No, McCain would chose to be kept in a refrigerator (er, on life support ) rather than vote for Trump’s nominee.
The only question is, who has seen him alive? /s
Remember that Trump has been ridiculing ‘one Senator who voted at one in the morning against repealing Obamacare after ranting against it for 8 years.”
That was McCain. And he reportedly said after he cast the vote, “Make America Great now, Donald.”
At any rate it is apparent that McCain absolutely hates Trump. And Trump reciprocates by tweaking MCCain on his deathbed.
I believe MCCain will have himself brought into the Senate chamber on a gurney to vote against whoever is nominated for the S.Ct. just to spite Trump.
Gorsuch garnered 3 Dem votes. miracles have been happening at an increasing rate under Trump.
McCain has been dead for a couple of months and is presently in a fetal position at the bottom of the family freezer.
I’m not doubting that.
When and where is the last known pic, of McQueeg?
June 17th, looks current, or maybe not...

More like the “Wrath of Kahn”. Hate is strong in this one.
Thanks.
I guess he’s hanging in there.
He should do the right thing for the country, for AZ and for his family and just freaking resign.
When was his last day in DC? Anyone know?
Great point. Psalm 37: 12 The wicked scheme against the righteous and gnash their teeth at them, 13but the Lord laughs, seeing that their day is coming.

McCain will never, ever resign. And Ducey, I don’t trust him and I would vote for Ken Bennett over him if given the choice.
Heck, I never thought he had brain cancer and he will survive well into next year.
Are you a doctor or did you stay at a Holiday Inn?
No, McCain hates Americans. To him, its better to make everyone else look incompetent or traitorous.
