I have enormous respect for any man who endured and survived spending time in Hanoi Hilton, but he is a terrible politician. When you look up the term RINO, I think McCain should be the picture you see. I wish him all the best. Glioblastoma is typically a fatal diagnosis.

Originally posted by BP View PostI can't think of any member of congress much less the senate that resigned for medical reasons. Heck Gladys Spellman was in a coma for 6 months before before the democrats decided to vacate her seat. It goes both ways though as Mark Kirk didn't even visit the capital for almost a year after having a stroke.Magnus, I am your father. You need to ask your mother about a man named Calvin Klein.

Originally posted by BP View PostAgreed but even if a member of congress is 100% incapacitated their staff is still going to be working. A senator will have 40+ staffers working directly for them plus interns and pages. Obviously they can't cast votes but they can hold meetings, rallies and keep working on legislation.Magnus, I am your father. You need to ask your mother about a man named Calvin Klein.

Not like I think the Republicans' plan was a good one. But getting to vote No let McCain show who his loyalties lie with.
"...it appears that a few top Democrats received advanced notice from McCain about how he intended to vote, at least according to the detailed play-by-play account of the late night event on the Senate floor by The Washington Post reporter Ed O’Keefe.
McCain had signaled earlier Thursday that he was leaning against repeal, but talks with fellow GOP senators and Vice President Mike Pence — brought in for an expected tie breaker vote — seemed to reassure everyone that he would ultimately be on board with the motion.
However, McCain refused to say one way or another how he planned to vote, telling reporters only to “Wait for the show,” and proceeded on to the Senate floor ahead of the vote.
He let some know ahead of time.
It was then that the long-serving senator was spotted speaking with Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, a conversation that left the Democrat leader smiling. Schumer later stated, “I knew it when he walked on the floor,” and revealed that McCain had called him earlier to let him know his plan.
McCain was also spotted talking with a group of Democrat senators that included Dianne Feinstein — from whom he received a warm hug — Dick Durbin and Elizabeth Warren, among others, and was seen giving anti-repeal Murkowski a wink and “thumbs down” gesture as she walked past him at one point."When the government pays, the government controls.
