Discussion: John McCain To Skip GOP Convention

The best line in this report?

McCain is facing a tough race, with a recent poll showing Kirkpatrick pulling even with him.

She has slowly been creeping up on him. With Donald at the top of the ticket, and Hillary spreading out her coattails…we might finally be rid of the Sunday Talk Show Senator.

Seems like the GOP congressmen are not wanting to let the “stink” of this convention rub off on them.

Sarah Palin will be there and John tries, now that it’s too late for the nation, not to be reminded of his most horrible torture.

(On a more reflective note, I miss the days when The Half Baked Alaskan was the most threatening and dangerous Republican on the national stage.)

In ammosexual mind frame, makes perfectly good sense to skip the RNC, it’s going to be a freaking gun free zone!

It’s likely to be a loud and contentious event. So that is the kind of situations that you want to be able to defend yourself, besides the calming effect of guns will make everyone more polite and reasonable.

Too bad for the GOP McCain and Palin didn’t skip the 2008 Convention.

That’s unfair to rats, it true that rats were the first to abandon a sinking ship, but that was because they were the first to realize that the ship was sinking.

Well, he has only had reelection bids twice that fell during a Presidential election cycle. 1992 and 1984. So his statement sounds more substantive than it really is. And I don’t think Johnny skipped town on Reagan or Bush Sr.

It’s the Republican convention, to select the Republican nominee for president, and Republicans are treating the event as though it were radioactive.

What if they give a convention and only Trump and Cruz show up?

Beat me to it.

Have we got a running total yet of Republican officials who have discovered they 're going to be too busy for their party’s convention? It will soon be in double digits if it’s not there already.
