Montini: The making of a milquetoast maverick – John McCain

source: AZCentral

"...'...
Asked if he would reject Trump after the primary and withdraw his endorsement, McCain told a reporter, “No. There’s no reason to do that.”

Not if he wants to keep his seat.

More so, perhaps, if he wanted to keep his dignity. "

The guy is 80 years old.
Wealthy.
Why does he want another term?
The power?
Prestige?

I used to have some respect for him, but that ended with Palin.
I just think he's a sad old man.

Damn, John.
Give it up, man.
