Sen. John McCain diagnosed with brain cancer 7-19-17

Arizona senator John McCain's office announced Wednesday night that he has brain cancer after doctors found a tumor following a procedure to remove a blood clot above his left eye.

Doctors at the Mayo Clinic identified the tumor, which was associated with the blood clot, as an aggressive form of cancer called glioblastoma.

Treatment may include a combination of chemotherapy and radiation, according to Senator McCain's statement.

However, Mr. McCain can continue to "serve" even though he is 80 years of age.
When will it be enough?
When will Mr. McCain allow someone else to serve the constituency?
Does he wish to drop dead while sitting in the Senate?
Or does he not believe anyone else in his district can serve as well as he?

Come on Mr. McCain. Get out of the way and allow someone else to serve in the Senate.

But still supported the Saudis.

Sad to say, he's a dead man. This diagnosis is a death sentence. Oh well, 80 good years, we'll all meet our maker.

This is great news, he has constantly rejected our new President, and tries to block his every attempt to "Make America Great Again".

I seeing all these Tweets and comments. He's so strong he will beat this thing and we all love you.

But I am saying BLLAAAAAHHHH!!!

He is a POS and I wouldn't want to see anyone with cancer, but he has been nothing but a problem to the Republican Party. When the Democrats openly spread their love for this fool, it's not hard to figure out McCain was a true RINO.

I really don't like the man. He has been bought and sold by special interests and corporate interests. He has profited through these bribes at the expense of the people. I wouldn't wish this on anyone, but I do believe in karma. What comes around, goes around. I've seen this personally in the corporate world.

Not a good prognosis; perhaps this is why he was "out of it" during the Comey testimony.

6:48 came here to say just that. So shameful that political ties make us forget all decency. When the time comes I hope you are ready to answer for your choices and I pray you do not pass that mentality on to the next generation.

Nobody here is wishing death on Mr. McCain. He's got a diagnosis and should step away from the plate and take care of his health in his own space and allow someone with good health take over his chores.

That's all.

Having been a pain in the ass is a foregone conclusion even before the diagnosis.

Yes, it does explain a lot about his
recent actions with Comey.
It's time for him to quit, he's not
capable of doing anything that requires
logical thinking

I wish an agonising death to most politicians. McCain is a POS as are most politicians. Do more to destroy this country than fix it, then yes i would like to see them dead.

I gues i am just old fashioned like that.

I am pretty sure anyone that has served in the military and believes in God feels they are christian. So whats your point? Without people willing to do what you are to delicate to deal with this country would have never existed.

Grow a pair.

This explains, not excuses, his recent behavior..

I respect Senator McCain's military service but not so much his public service, especially after he lost his bid for POTUS. I had my McCain/Palin sign crushed by the garbage collector in my front yard! It is a shame that he has developed brain cancer and I wish him all the best of luck in beating it.

He has truly endured something that none of us on this blog and very few of us in this country has done by being a POW who not only had a way out of the Hanoi Hilton but chose not to go home since his people could not go too. For some reason, I don't think that he was dreaming of how this would reflect on a future life in politics at that time.

Just my two cents.

I have to respectfully disagree. He was a POW, that much is true, and that is where the truth ends. He was called "songbird" for a reason, and his decision to stay behind was political, not any sense of duty or honor.

Do some more research on this guy and listen to the stories of the other vets who were there with him. I don't fault him for doing whatever he had to to survive as much as it disgusts me that he tries to make himself out to be a hero when he wasn't and other vets suffered because of him.

And then there are the shady land deals in AZ with the Chinese, his involvement with the Bundy family and the BLM. (Bureau of Land Management)

I'm not sure if he was involved with the shooting of Lavoy Finicum by the FBI but it's all related.

9:02, recent behavior. What about before? I voted for this dude, well more likely Palin and didn't care for him then. I respect his military service and POW, but has nothing to do with his actions as a career politician.

God sent Trump to save our country, and this man was sent Cancer because he is always trying to stop President Trump. Its called Karma.
