Easy. Dianne Feinstein has a reputation and record of being bi-partisan and moderate, even though she is a Democrat from California.

You have got to be kidding if you actually believe this. Seriously?

I see that this thread has quickly taken a turn way off course after McCain's vote on the health care issue. I think the ACA had good intentions, but I saw my premiums and deductibles rise and rise, while it was in consideration and much more after passing. And then when I was between jobs last year, the slap in the face was the 'mandate' portion; I got taxed.

Back on topic though, it is too bad that McCain has these health issues, but overall, I believe wholeheartedly that overall it is an excellent example of why we need term limits. Didn't he at one time support them? He certainly stopped doing so the last few years. Wonder why?

Feinstein is not bipartisan all democrats are 100% opposed to the Trump conservative agenda.

kennedy lasted 15 months ,biden 2 years, the clock is ticking that would put us at next's years election if mccain is in the median group

The Boston Globe also noted, “The tumor discovered in McCain’s brain is the same type that was also found in Ted Kennedy, the late US senator of Massachusetts.” Kennedy died at age 77 in 2009 “after battling a brain tumor. He was diagnosed with a malignant glioma after suffering a seizure” that May, reported NBC News. Kennedy survived 15 months after his diagnosis, which is about the median survival rate for that kind of tumor.

However, others live longer; Beau Biden did. “Biden…the attorney general for the state of Delaware, was diagnosed in 2013 and had surgery, radiation and chemotherapy before going back to work. He died in May 2015 at the age of 46,” reported The Washington Post.


Senator John McCain says that he is weighing up his treatment options after he was diagnosed with a deadly tumor. Doctors at the Mayo Clinic made the discovery while treating Sen. McCain for a blood clot above his left eye, a statement from his office says.

The press release continues saying that it was “revealed that a primary brain tumor known as a glioblastoma was associated with the blood clot.” According to his office, McCain and his family are assessing what treatment options are available. Those options “may include a combination of chemotherapy and radiation.”


Everyday Health says that those who are diagnosed with cancer at aged 75 and above have the lowest rate of survival at 4.7 percent. Though with glioblastomas, even children are given the same survival rate as older adults. The website says that prognosis for glioblastomas is often measured in months because the tumor “grows quickly, moves fast and is deadly.”

In June 2017, many questioned Sen. McCain’s behavior during former FBI Director James Comey senate testimony. The senator’s office attributed his fatigue to his staying up late to watch an Arizona Diamondbacks baseball game. According to Everyday Health, one of the symptoms of glioblastoma are “Changes in behavior, memory, or thinking abilities.”

Which is why he needs to resign
