GOP- "The last 8 years have shown us we need to change our ways and engage with people, work with the other branches of government to stop the inertia or we will end up with another Donald Trump."

John McCain - "Fuck that, Hillary Clinton will be a one term president."

I suppose the US does have a way of making a man's diction flaccid...

Seems like they should just living their lives and impose some kind of rationality...

It IS their core competency...but because of the Fox News Effect, they don't even realise that they're doing it. More likely they do, but I'm a horrible cynic.

Sad thing is, if you look back at history, it's like Puritanism. People poking their noses into everyone's fucking business all the damn time about everything because they think their religion gives them the right and DEMANDS them to do so. Just leave people ALONE for fucks' sake.

Actually, some Fucks Saké would be really tasty.

SQUIRREL!

I'm really praying that the Trump supporters are too lazy to spend time for voter intimidation. The one thing that makes me optimistic is that with all the support the dumbass has in the polls, you never really see his supporters unless it's time for a rally. Otherwise, you never see much from them, and not in an organized group. Hopefully that means that on boring old voting day they'll stay inside and watch TV.

Its three months later and McCain is all washed up and his bloated carcass is being picked clean by sea gulls.

What has happened to McCain?? He used to be kind of ok. What a radical, insane, shitty thing to say. And thanks for depriving the people of the USA from due process and justice, yayyyyyyyyyyy freedom. Constitutional! Rigged! Words!

It would be irresponsible not to speculate that he will retire after the election and let Ducey pick a suitably Neanderthal replacement.

And to save Wonkettes some time and effort, that is indeed hominin libelz...

Technically, that's probability of winning, not poll results. Absolute poll numbers are still around 47% HRC - 41% DJT.

If he wants to keep his cushy seat, he's gotta go the tea party route and get crazy. And that's one unforgiving, insurrectionist-ish electorate.

I emailed him almost that very post because of this. He's turned into Ted Cruz.

What really gets me about this too is he expects to block ALL court nominees for five years but should they win in 2020, they'd expect to get their nominees approved the day after the inauguration. Could you imagine how loudly he/they'd scream if the Dems pulled this bullshit?

McCain is not a dick. Dick's are good. I haz one. It is useful, even at age 80/81. McCain is not useful. McCain is a rancid grease trap.(I have not read downthread so if I am posting what thousands of others have posted, I haz a 'pology. But McCain is still a fucking selfish rancid grease trap.)
