Senate Officials Confirm John McCain Expected to Step Down from U.S. Senate
True Pundit ^ | 3/8/2018 | Admin

Sen. John McCain is not expected to return the Washington D.C. politics, according to several sources who are closely monitoring his health and medical treatments at his ranch in Arizona.

In fact, the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee is already in the process of selecting a candidate to run for McCain’s senate seat in a special election after McCain’s expected retirement from the Senate, sources said. Candidates were contacted this week in fact as Democrats jockey to find new blood to oppose the GOP-held seat in Arizona.

“At this point, we are coming to terms that McCain is done here (in the Senate),” one Senate insider on the Hill said Wednesday. “Preparations are underway to deal with this.

Just weeks ago, a White House official said McCain — known for his anti-Trump leaks to the media and his connection to the bogus Trump dossier — was refusing to step down from the Senate despite his reported stage IV brain cancer diagnosis and treatments.

Now, sources said, the GOP and Democrats are prepping for a likely special election for his Arizona senate seat. First, however, if McCain were to retire, the governor of Arizona would appoint an interim Republican to fill McCain’s seat before a special election.

That would give the GOP another vote in the Senate as McCain has been absent since Christmas.

John McCain may never cast another vote in the U.S. Senate.

But he plans to stay in Arizona and the U.S. Senate, according to a high-level White House source, regardless of GOP-backed pressure for him to retire from the Senate.

John McCain is a pretty good runner for a guy with a boot on his leg.

Or legs. He switches the boot to different feet, all while recovering from an alleged “Achilles tear.”

Another lie in a career-long list of lies, half-truths and manipulations stretching the truth from Washington D.C. to Arizona to Vietnam and back again. Several times.

So it was of little surprise that when the bogus Trump dossier reached a fever pitch of debate and finger pointing on Tuesday, McCain was nowhere to be found.

Missing In Action.

Again.

Is McCain even in D.C? No. Sources report he is still at his $15 million mountain-top compound in Arizona. Is he under treatment for his Stage IV cancer treatment. No one is saying. Like always with everything McCain, it’s hard to believe what is true and what is polished hype to make him appear to be a hero.

But this was predicted in December and even before. True Pundit reported McCain would not return to D.C. if the dossier scandal stayed hot. it has. And McCain is not in the Beltway.

It takes a narcissistic to not step down.

He didn't look good when he went back to the Senate in January. Place your bets.

......”I will believe it when he is actually out of office. I fully expect him to die a senator”....

Yep.....he and his family will certainly require he die as a Senator..”Hero” with all the ‘puff’ accolades he's sure to receive when he passes.

.....
I forgave you your entire debt because you begged me to.
Should you not have had pity on your fellow servant,
as I had pity on you?’
Then in anger his master handed him over to the torturers
until he should pay back the whole debt.
So will my heavenly Father do to you,
unless each of you forgives your brother from your heart.”

He’s about done. The boot business is a complete red herring. The ankle monitor story is silly. He’s not going anywhere and he’s dying. Also, you can’t get those boots over an ankle monitor. If you managed, it would show as a big bump in the boot.

Both Achilles heels are in danger of tearing in his situation. The boot gets moved to which leg is weaker at the time, and some times he may have them on both feet.

Sedona is beautiful...high up though! Lots of crime near Tucson, AZ. My friends there all carry guns, wherever they go. Too many snakes for me, as they live out on desert floor. HOT! I have never lived there....we knew each other on east coast! I visited....those scary scorpions.

Fake News. The Q-believers said, A, there’s a cure for cancer but only Deep State swampers like McCain get to have it, and B, McCain never had cancer to begin with; it’s merely an elaborate ploy to stay out of Gitmo.

McCain: “Do I have to technically be alive to remain in the Senate?”

If a Democrat wins McCains seat, it should be considered a “hold” and not a pick up.

That being said, I am glad McCain is doing the right thing and stepping down. He can not serve his state in such condition. I do wish John McCain and his family well and for Gods comfort, peace and mercy to be upon them. This is an incidious disease he has and wouldn’t wish it on anyone.

What he’s basically doing is denying the Republicans a voting member.
