Arizona Sen. John McCain and other like-minded Republican senators could end up reprising roles as key deal-makers as the party seeks a final negotiated solution to the government shutdown.
With a core group of House Republicans sticking together in their chamber, and Senate GOP leader Mitch McConnell taking a low public profile in the fight, that leaves McCain and similar-thinking GOP senators to look for a deal.
McCain has argued over and over again that this is one battle that the Republicans simply cannot win.
And most Republican senators seem to agree with him, but there is little evidence that their GOP counterparts in the House can be convinced, at least not yet.

I’m sure we can count on a lot of the “elders” to stab us in the back in order to enrich themselves.

McDemocrat has STFU. The media trying to call out the surrender monkey from AZ. We don’t need a reach around from that POS.

The best thing for the McCain faction to do is get the hell out of the way. Let the adults handle this. If the “elders” want to bend over and drop their pants for the Kommie Kollege Kids, they can have at it. Just leave the rest of us out of it.

McCain and Graham couldn’t lead a gaggle of randy homos through a gay bath house with a wad of thousand dollar bills and a wallet full of credit cards. However, Graham does look like a pig in lipstick.

Why haven't they summoned "the female McCain?"

Nope. Elder is done, and so is the younger.

John McCain IS this mess.
Had his Rino herd voted down cloture a week ago THERE WOULD BE NO MESS!
To: Oldeconomybuyer
McCain is right. With republicans like him in the mix, they can’t win.

The only way McCain could save the nation right is by popping 50 Valiums and then going to bed.

No. In McCain’s case, Elder = Senile.

What a stupid inane column. Totally useless in relation what has been unfolding. This is no longer in the hands of that freak Mccain, or Mcdonnell, it now rest with US.
Check your twitter little currey, learn the truth and see the light.

NBC getting concerned with Obamas plummeting poll numbers and blame being directed at not just Repiblicans - as well as the steadfast resolve in House. Hence the begging for McCain to rescue Dems. Not Republicans.
