I’m thinking that the years must finally be starting to take their toll on old John "The Maverick" McCain. As we all know, there comes that time for us all when, whether we like it or not, we pass round that proverbial bend, where it’s time for the keys to be taken away, and when it’s no longer safe for us to be allowed to stray any further than the front yard. And apparently, that time has now officially arrived for the senior senator from Arizona.
And main the reason I even bring that up is because it would seem that old John recently felt the need to inform some reporters that had apparently gathered around him, that he currently has no plans to run for president again. That, despite the fact, or so he claims, that there have been some who have begged him to make another go of it. Personally, I don’t know of anyone in their right mind who would beg old John to make another run for the White house.
"Particularly since the shutdown, I’ve had a spate of emails and letters and phone calls saying, ‘Run for president again,’" McCain said, according to the Arizona Republic. "As you know, I’m seriously thinking about running for re-election to the Senate. But I think, in the words of the late Morris K. Udall, as far as my presidential ambitions are concerned, ‘The people have spoken—the bastards.’" Although, I doubt he would have been as bad as Barry.
"I can assure you, I don’t see it," McCain added. "It’s not on my radar." All I’ve got to say to that is, "Thank God for small wonders!" It’s bad enough that we now have what are younger versions of himself now talking about 2016. And oddly enough, even though McCain shut the White House possibility down, at least one pollster has said he’s seen some renewed interest in a possible McCain 2016 run. Well, as we know, you can’t fix stupid.
Bruce Merrill, someone who is supposed to be an Arizona political scientist and pollster, told the Republic that he’s recently fielded multiple calls from reporters asking about the possibility of a third McCain bid for the White House. Granted, ‘The Maverick" has always been a favorite of more than a few in the media, but other than a few weirdoes in the media, who else out there would really be wanting this old fart to run again?
And in all honesty, McCain no longer has any business being a senator, let alone being president. I think it safe to say that he long ago outlived what little usefulness he may have once provided. He’s repeatedly proven that he’s no conservative by his support for amnesty and for bogus climate change. So it is very plainly time for old John to just ride off into the sunset never to be seen or heard from again. He’s done about all the damage that he can.
