Sounds like he wonā€™t last more than a month. This is hospice time.

We knew this would come. I hope he can be made comfortable.

When the time comes (and yes, it will be soon), what do you want to bet that Trump will manage to mark his demise without actually saying his name?

Fuck cancer.

I donā€™t like his politics, but I donā€™t think heā€™s a fundamentally evil man. I wish Senator McCain comfort in his last days, as I wish most everyone.

Godspeed, John McCain.

Not saying anything at all.

He has walked with dignity through this final phase of his career/life/journey - just as he did early in life as he weathered the horrors and indignities of captivity as a Prisoner of War.

Peace to you Senator, and peace and comfort to your family and other loved ones.

This is a sad time for his family. And a sad time for the state. The vultures will quickly descend on Ducey. I believe the appointment will last until Nov. 2020.

Iā€™m really really glad he was never president, but he does leave a legacy:

I never voted for him when I lived in AZ, for obvious reasons.

That said, he is an honorable man. I wish him comfort and peace.

I wish strength, solace and peace to Sen. McCain and his family. His politics was deplorable, but I think one-to-one he is a decent man.

ā€˜Then Iā€™d like to go back to our valley and see the creek run after the rain, and hear the cottonwoods whisper in the wind. I want to smell the rose-scented breeze and feel the sun on my shoulders. I want to watch the hawks hunt from the sycamore, and then take my leave bound for a place near my old friend Chuck Larson, in the cemetery on the Severn, back where it began.ā€™

Thatā€™s not a bad way to end a memoir, or a life. I hope the hawks are hunting.

Sad news.
81 years old.

Sincere thoughts to him, his family, and his constituents.

Best part of this is the look on rod-up-his ass Mitchā€™s face.

Exactly. Iā€™m sorry we couldnā€™t bring him over to our side. I always felt for him, sensing enough of a core of decency to him that it was sad he chose to lie down with dogs. This news is too cruel by half. Just seconding what you said, wishing him comfort.

Iā€™m sorry that he has to live his last days under the Trump nightmare. And Iā€™m further sorry that his death will be immediately politicized in the current loathsome environment.

When there is nothing else to hope for may his death be gentle.

I disagreed with him about 98.7% of the time, but yes, he did cast the deciding vote in the health care vote. Sad news, even though we all expect this time to come.

But if he dies soon, we have another possible Senate Seat for dems. Iā€™m sorry, with apologies to Monty Python, ā€œheā€™s not dead yetā€, but I canā€™t get this out of my thoughts.
