Colleagues expect John McCain to return to Capitol Hill soon despite poor health report
by Daniel Chaitin | Dec 14, 2017, 6:51 PM

Sen. John McCain was hospitalized again this week as he contends with an aggressive form of brain cancer and is reportedly not looking so healthy, but colleagues are optimistic that he will return to Capitol Hill soon.

The Republican from Arizona had missed votes Monday and Tuesday, and on Wednesday it was revealed he was "receiving treatment at Walter Reed Medical Center for normal side effects of his ongoing cancer therapy," according to a statement from his office.

Sources told CNN that McCain, who is 81 years old and was diagnosed in July with a primary glioblastoma, has been less chatty and not looking as healthy as he once did.

Sen. Lindsey Graham, a close friend of McCain's, said he spoke to McCain's wife, Cindy, on Wednesday for an update, which he indicated bore positive news.

One would have to question his legal mental competence given his condition.

Probably not, and I will not voice my opinion on that in this thread.  I will only say he decided to die as a Senator... then he must be there next week for at least two votes.

I agree.  While there are several stories of optimism this is one of the most deadly and aggressive cancers that there is.  IMHO there is a very strong possibility that he may not make it back into the Senate next week for the tax vote; otherwise President Trump wouldn't have called his wife and there are reports from those in the Senate that he has become increasingly frail.  He's hospitalized right now and the vote is next week.

The left is the lowest of low and Schumer is a lowlife slime ball. So if McCain was rolled into the Senate for the vote looking like death warmed over, would Schumer challenge his ability to vote based on legal mental capacity?  It would take 60 votes to overcome his objections.

Repose his dead carcass in his State House basement Rotunda with a sign for Bill's Mortuary.

News is he won't be there for the tax vote this week.  I doubt he will be back at all.  He is one of God's children and I wish him well here or in heaven.

He's said he supports it, which is meaningless if he's not there.  Meanwhile,, we can now see why Franken is stalling.  The Pubbies are one or two down, and the Rats have a full compliment.

I'm generally not one to say, "There outta be a law about . . . ," but in this case it's about our betters elected officials. We need their med records, prescriptions drug usage, and regular drug tests made public.

Good.  Hopefully he won't vote on it then.  The damned thing deserves to die.

Hmmm.  Like saying "No Comment" is really a comment.

What is that song lyric that relates to this line of reasoning

Agreed, and I wish him a full recovery so he can spend the rest of his days however he wishes.

I know there are many different opinions of him, but I believe he's a hero and that he deserves respect for his military service.

Corker is back on board, and they bought off Rubio.  It looks like they have the votes.
