What could happen if McCain can not survive until November?
I thought each state has itâs own rules on this. I seem to remember sometimes thereâs a special election. Sometimes the governor chooses. Maybe Iâm mixing up house and senate though.
Governor chooses. But McCainâs term is up until 2022, so the appointee would have 4 years to prepare for the next election

AndâŚso much for the Republicans mourning McCain. They are destroying him on Facebook, and all over the media. Even on this forum, I havenât seen they are even talking about the death of an excellent patriot and POW, who was being mocked in Twhitlerâs rallies by him and his deplorable supporters.
Shame on these deplorable communists.
Why open a topic not on the qualities of McCain, but to ignore his redeem qualities, his contribution to the amicable way both aisles should conduct themselves. Maybe they know that McCain will go down in history 100% better than the draft dodging commie in the white house they so much adore and follow, an amoral president.
Retired Air Force colonel and former prisoner of war John Fer shared a cell block with Sen. John McCain in Vietnam.
âCBS This Morningâ co-host John Dickerson spoke with Fer about his reaction to McCainâs death and what then-candidate Donald Trump said about the senator on the campaign trail.
JOHN FER: America is going to feel the absence of John McCain. I spent, you know, those months and a couple of years pacing the floor with him back and forth and talking, and I got a very good sense of the depth of John.
JOHN DICKERSON: If you were in Hanoi and you heard somebody running for president said about a captive, âI like heroes who werenât captured,â would you believe that they said it?
FER: I think itâs really, really sad commentary to say ⌠any American captive who had put his life on the line and risked it for, as John says, a cause greater than himself.
DICKERSON: What was your reaction when you heard Donald Trump had said that?
FER: I couldnât believe it. I couldnât believe somebody would say that about a national hero.
DICKERSON: When youâd see him on TV, and you canât always be in touch with him, what would you think back to?
FER: I saw the John McCain that I knew that was the mixture of seriousness of the moment, but he had almost, had a glimmer of a humor that wanted to come out and say, âLook this is serious business, but weâve got to remember⌠Donât lose your sense of humor, you know, look on the bright side.â ⌠When I see him in those interviews, when I see him sitting behind the desk in committee meetings and things like that, thatâs what I see with John. ⌠I see an exceptionally knowledgeable guy who was able despite â and he had by his own admission, he had lots of setbacks in his public life â he was always able to bounce back. And he was a man.
Who would invite these POS?
