Arizona Senate Candidate: McCain Should ‘Step Away as Quickly as Possible'

[Free Beacon] The last Republican to run against Sen. John McCain (R., Ariz.) called on him to step down "as quickly as possible" following his Wednesday cancer diagnosis.

Dr. Kelli Ward is running against Sen. Jeff Flake (R., Ariz.) in the 2018 Republican primary and made her comments about McCain on an Indiana talk radio show Thursday, CNN reports. A surgeon and former state senator, Ward argued that advancing the federal government's business and President Donald Trump's agenda gave McCain reason to step aside.

"I hope that Senator McCain is going to look long and hard at this, that his family and his advisers are going to look at this, and they're going to advise him to step away as quickly as possible, so that the business of the country and the business of Arizona being represented at the federal level can move forward," she said.

#1 To the last, I will grapple with thee... from Hell's heart, I stab at thee! For hate's sake, I spit my last breath at thee! - Khan quoting Melville's Moby Dick. Seems fitting.

BTW, Benedict Arnold was a war hero too, even a prisoner of war, till that little misunderstanding of joining the other side.

#2 ... Senator McCain will be literally carried from his post feet first. When Strom Thurmond finally quit he was IIRC 100 and the decision was made more by his family than him.

#3 No, Arizona will consider the execrable Jeff Flake to the conservative Senator from Arizona and elect the incomprehensible Kristin Sinema (Enema) to be the loosey goosey frosh left wing Senator. Just watch...

#4 Must be the narcotic effect of power. McCain has been hooked on it for a long, long time and even a malignant brain tumor won't make him quit. I can't say that Arizona deserves better because they kept reelecting him.
