 McCain braces for squeaker in today's primary

He's expected to prevail, but a big win would go a long way to calm Republicans anxious about a potential upset.

By Burgess Everett

PHOENIX — John McCain is hoping for a blowout in his Senate primary on Tuesday. He’s bracing for a squeaker.

McCain says people in his state are angry, the economic recovery is uneven and the atmosphere is volatile. He expects to prevail over conservative challenger Kelli Ward, but the margin of victory will decide whether he barrels or limps into the toughest general election fight of his 34-year political career, against Democratic Rep. Ann Kirkpatrick.

“It’s not so much I think it’s close. I just don’t think you should heighten expectations,” McCain said in an interview. “The one thing you never want to do in politics is heighten expectations. You always want to lowball it. That's just the best way to handle it. Plan for the worst and hope for the best.”

The Trump God has endorsed McCain, the establishment uber-RINO.

So next time you hear someone spout that Trump is shaking up the establishment, just remember that Trump endorsed it

Actually Trump is part of the establishment.

Trump endorsed the Establishment Uber-RINO, and most of the other RINO's too.

Trump has helped stomp the conservative movement into the ground

Looks like the establishment won big tonight. Rubio, McLame and Blabbermouth Shultz. That doesn't bode well for the self described anti-establishment candidate.

If McCain wins his primary, then like Theordore Sturgeon said....."90% of everything is SHIT!"

Including Arizonian voters.

McCain should have retired 8 years ago.  But they never do, do they?

Crap.  If we can't even get rid of that snake in the grass, we probably will be stuck (literally) with the others too.  What the hell is wrong with voters today?
