Pakled posted:Jeff Flake defecting would create a 50-50 tie in the Senate. How would that result in a Democratic Majority Leader? At some point in the very near future it's highly likely that the only way McCain will cast a vote on anything is if they wheel him into the Senate chambers on a stretcher. IV stuck in his arm, bare rear end hanging out of his hospital gown and all.

I’m honestly shocked that McCain hasn’t stepped down yet. We’re well past the deadline that would trigger a special election this November and now he’s running the risk that his replacement will be picked by a probable Democratic Governor after midterms. Sure that replacement would need to be a Republican but I’m sure they could find the most RINO person they can. Also him not being able to go to Washington makes it extremely difficult for Republicans to rush through a Reconciliation bill this fall since they wouldn’t be able to have a single defection.

AZ law requires the governor to pick a replacement from the party that the person they're replacing belonged to at the time of his or her election. Yeah they could pick the most liberal Republican around but the (R) by their name still carries weight when it comes to defining majority/minority.

It’s even more infuriating because he’s out of office in 6 months no matter what. my fave flake move was a guy whose continued living requires obamacare confronting jeff on a plane and jeff still voted yes on every repeal attempt. a real class act.

This owns. I'm even happier I donated to them last week - and, if you can, you should too! A generous goon is currently matching the next $781 donated, which due to their own donations + workplace matching will become $2343! Thread is here.

Is it possible McCain just wants to piss off Trump and keep the Senate in Republican hands (because he wants those judges), but by the slimmest of margins to limit the total insanity of the furthest right members? He might be hoping he'll survive to the lame duck session so he can choose whether or not to resign, depending on the results of the Senate and GOV races. McCain loves attention and press adulation. He's very invested in keeping his maverick reputation, despite being largely fictional. Ague Proof fucked around with this message at 17:28 on Jul 19, 2018 |

I bet he steps down in the lame duck if the dems win the governor seat so that they can replace him. The NYT will blow him for stepping down for the good of the country when it happens too.

McCain will remain relevant as long as he is Senator, and is keeping us all in suspense. I don't think he's so different from Trump in that way.

So Bernie Sanders' campaign manager was Tad Devine from 2014 onward. Previous to that, Devine was apparently exchanging emails with... Manafort and his shady Russian partners. Of course, it could be totally innocent. His emails with Manafort are on Mueller's evidence list in the Manafort case. https://twitter.com/HoarseWisperer/status/1019970082812940289
