Trump endorsed him in the primary.
I think you just hit the nail on the head.
Crude inexperienced upstart who hasn’t been vetted and paid his dues, Donald J. Trump, won the Presidency, while the original Never-Trumper,’war hero’ John “Fake Russian Dossier” McCain, couldn’t.
Rank, putrid jealousy.
Well it’s not just him, there’s got to be two more RINOs that joined him - Murkowski and Collins.

The Senate is seniority based. The longer you have been in office the more power you have and the more favors you can call in. John McCain should be the poster mummy for term limits.
Recently, McCain said something odd. He said that if Arizona’s (Republican) governor was in favor of the bill he would reluctantly support it. The governor issued a press release that very afternoon stating that the bill had his full support. I suspect the governor had threatened McCain, perhaps with having him declared incompetent. Whatever it was, it wasn’t enough to keep McCain focused long enough for the vote. We can only hope the governor will move quickly to end McCain’s term and replace him with a true conservative. However, McCain has lots of money so this route would be a real struggle. It would take a real judge to make the call.
McCain’s statements regarding his vote sound like perfect rationale. I doubt he wrote them as I’ve heard him speak recently and, while he may sound more lucid than Pelosi, I don’t think he’s capable of that much logical discourse. The real problem, however, appears to be emotional rather than logical. McCain was insulted by Trump and he is not a forgiving man. Nor does he still adhere to any conservative principles, assuming he ever did. At this point, he appears to be 100% driven by a diseased ego.
Unleash the Butt Kraken!

Because Arizonians are too busy apparently.
He’s powerful because of the Senate’s seniority system. McCain is in his 30th year. The word “senate” comes from the Latin word “senex” whch means “old man.”

For the same reason Anthony Kennedy is on SCOTUS.
It’s a numbers game. And that feckless piece of treasonous sh*t knows it.
Hoping Mother Nature takes her course faster with him. Never thought I’d hear myself say that, but there it is.
He’s a danger to this Republic now, and it’s ALL petty and personal with him.
I suspect that Mister McCain is vengeance-driven, mostly by envy and jealousy as Trump did what McCain could not; and he looks (and feels) the inept fool by comparison.
To McCain, settling a score is more important than properly delivered healthcare for millions upon millions of Americans. And, this last sentence is how we GOPers will always remember McCain.
