Midknight Review -- new and revised: Why John McCain will not retire from the Senate:

Yesterday (Wednesday the 20th), Senator McCain was successfully operated on, for the removal of a 2 inch tumor attached to his brain. Doctors believe that small tentacles of this tumor are still in the brain, necessitating chemo-therapy.

Apparently the Senator is reasonably healthy in spite of this most recent set-back.

If his immediate "recovery" allows him to return to the Senate, I do not expect him to retire. He is too much of a #NeverTrump politician. His continued presence on the Senate roll-call, will add to the difficulties for President Trump's agenda and that will be, very much, to the liking of the Senator.

McCain is a Status-Quo, Big government, Tax and Spend, moderate. He has accomplished next to nothing over the past decade, except to superintend a presidential campaign that handed the Dems super-majorities in the House and Senate and gave us our first Rogue President.

The Stated Nonsense from the Left now includes these Progressive goals:

July 2, 2008, Obama had this to say: "We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."

MICHELLE OBAMA: "Barack knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices; we are going to have to change our conversation; we're going to have to change our traditions, our history; we're going to have to move into a different place as a nation."

“ . . . . . . they have become a generation of activists possessed with that most American of ideas – that people who love their country can change it.” -- Obama the Radical

On September 30, Van Jones told MSNBC "I think everybody should hold onto your seats. October is going to be the turning point when it comes to the progressive fight back."
