John McCain hints he won’t run again

Sen. John McCain suggested in an interview that he might not run for another term - and then backtracked on Twitter.

“The president and I, he’s in his last term, I’m probably in mine, the relationship we have had over the past three years is quite good. Quite good,” McCain, 77, said to supporters while being interviewed by The Wrap on Thursday.

When asked whether this would indeed be his final term by the publication, McCain (R-Ariz.) said he has “to decide in about two years.”

“Nah, I don’t know. I was trying to make a point. I have to decide in about two years so I don’t have to make a decision. I don’t want to be one of these old guys that should’ve shoved off,” McCain said.

I hope this is right,,,, but here in Arizona, the Republicans will just find someone even more outrageous than McCain, there's plenty to choose from.

I won't dis his military service and related sacrifices, but as a politician he's been crap. His sense of entitlement is legendary.
