Arizona Republican Senator John McCain announced in his upcoming book that he will retire after his current term, a decision which has liberated him to speak his mind about how he sees America’s political climate.

McCain, 81, revealed last July that he had been diagnosed with terminal brain cancer after a blood clot procedure revealed a malignant tumor.

“This is my last term,” McCain wrote in an excerpt of his upcoming book The Restless Wave, that was posted Monday on Apple News. “If I hadn’t admitted that to myself before this summer, a stage 4 cancer diagnosis acts as ungentle persuasion.”

Sounds to me that he is going to speak from his tumor.

He is not going to make it until 2022.


Despite maximum treatment, the cancer usually recurs.[3] The most common length of survival following diagnosis is 12 to 15 months, with fewer than 3% to 5% of people surviving longer than five years.[2][3] Without treatment, survival is typically three months.

He was diagnosed about a year ago.

He should never have lived long enough to retire.

He has always been able to speak his mind. He just gets upset when most people disagree with him.

Apparently they don't because he keeps getting elected.

He may retire shortly after May 30 2018, which means the GOP governor can appoint a temporary neocon to fill in until 2020 while avoiding a special election. If he were to retire now, there would be two elections this year which are unfavorable to Republicans.

Trump and Pence are currently trying to prop up Arpaio for the primary to replace Flake with hopes of sucking away votes from Ward (a pro-liberty candidate) so that McSally (an awful neocon) wins. If there were two primaries, then Ward would be more easily able to win one.

I'm not so sure what is left is actually his own mind any more... If it is, I think he ought be practicing his Fifth Amendment Right before he does any more damage...

At least GOP nominee Juan McCain lost the 2008 election . . .
any future "Tour of USA President's Birthplaces will not need to go to a foreign nation, as the Founders originally intended.

(John McCain was born off-base/out of the Panama Canal Zone territory
although a Navy doctor delivered the baby McCain and signed the Panama community hospital log book.

Luv... If you are more correct than I am about where he might have ended up over the past few days,
if he is something of a screw-up, then his soul has confused Purgatory NM for Purgatory AZ and he's
trying to yell at both Adam Kokesh and Gary Johnson at the same time! He's out of the game. Benched.
