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.

So do I. But I did hear him talk (through TV) when he was getting an award in Philadelphia. I would like to see more Republicans start choosing principle and decency of partisanship -- and getting away with it. He sounded and looked like death warned over. You can trust that I know the look. In the last ten years I have seen six people on the days of or the day just before their deaths -- people that I have known for considerable times. No, I am not in and have never been in a medical occupation.

John McCain is not and has never been a liberal. But one need not be a liberal to oppose bureaucratic cruelty, corruption, pointless military adventures, and fiscal waste.
