1. I believe McCain has one more task before he rides into the sunset

He need to lead a group of republican senators into the Oval Room and tell the orange anus to pack it up and leave Dodge before impeachment proceeds. Goldwater would be proud knowing another Arizonian steeped up and did the right thing.

He might just end up being a better American politician than a republican. If anyone other than Barrack Obama or Hillary Clinton was deserving of being President, I think its him. Better than Bush. Better than Romney (whos trump with a better resume and upbringing) and eons more evolved as a creature of history and politics than that worthless Orangutang in the WH.

had some understanding of government, it's importance, and at least an iota of respect for the country and it's people. Trump has none of that. Trump has his ego, and that's all. I wouldn't expect Trump to do the right thing, even if it was the ONLY thing to do.

It would have to be something that would hurt him personally where he feels he has no choice.

And even then he would go out ugly destroying others as much as he can.

he is a Republican, so expect him to support a Republican version of healthcare reform. He does not approve of Obamacare and will probably not go for any version that keeps Obamacare much the same.

I imagine a lot of us will be angry with him then. We may be angry at Schumer, too, as they collaberate to do something about health care.
