With John McCain, the definition of a statesman as a politician who needs never face another election (he is obviously approaching death, and we know it) fits well. Because an appointed Republican would be up for re-election in a state that has become a legitimate swing state, I can now imagine the Republicans losing two Senate seats in Arizona. Appointed Senators must be re-elected in the next midterm.
Hoping the best for him is now more theological than anything else now.
Yes, but meanwhile, I hope he hangs on for a while. His one vote sank two horrible Obamacare repeal and replace bills. I don't think he's too keen on the tax relief for the rich and raise the debt astronomically bill either, and I don't believe he's against DACA kids (dreamers). Am I wrong? I certainly don't trust an AZ governor to appoint anyone but a right-wing asshole to replace McCain.
