Quit teasing us John.

“I don’t know how much longer I’ll be here,” McCain said in an audio excerpt of his forthcoming memoir.


John McCain, who has been battling an aggressive form of brain cancer for more than a year, doesn’t want President Trump to attend his funeral and prefers Vice President Pence to be there, according to a New York Times report.

In addition, former Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama have been asked to deliver eulogies at McCain's funeral, sources close to both former presidents and McCain told CNN.

The 81-year-old Arizona senator underwent surgery for an intestinal infection recently and was joined at his ranch by his daughter Meghan over the weekend. Last July, McCain was diagnosed with glioblastoma, the same rare and aggressive brain cancer that killed Democratic Sen. Edward Kennedy and former Vice President Joe Biden’s son, Beau.


“I don’t know how much longer I’ll be here,” McCain said in an audio excerpt of his forthcoming memoir, The Restless Wave, as NPR reports. The senator is also the subject of a nearly two-hour HBO documentary.

Biden spent 90 minutes at the ailing senator’s Arizona ranch last Sunday.

“Here John knows he’s in a very, very, very precarious situation, and yet he’s still concerned about the state of the country,” Biden told the Times. “We talked about how our international reputation is being damaged and we talked about the need for people to stand up and speak out.”

According to the Times, McCain’s closest family members have informed the White House that the current plan for his funeral is for Pence to attend the service to be held in Washington’s National Cathedral, but not Trump — with whom McCain has not had the greatest relationship.

The Arizona senator, who was elected to the U.S. Senate in 1986, cast a crucial vote against the repeal of ObamaCare in July, singlehandedly scuttling one of the Trump administration's major policy goals, a move that provoked the ire of Trump but earned him a thank you call from Obama.

Right up to the very end, John's actions make me wonder how many people died in his POW camp because he was a collaborator.

I'm sorry if that is too soon, but the man hates America, and people like you and me. I have a feeling that his sense of need to betray this country didn't start with the election of Donald Trump.

It’s his funeral and it’s his prerogative who he wants in attendance.

I don't wish ill on the man, but...

McCain can flat go piss up a rope. Hopefully Pence will snub the doddering old asshole.

McCain never seemed more joyful than when he was being back slapped by Democrats for screwing the REPs and Donald Trump.

I remember when he killed the repeal of obamacare late one evening w his dramatic thumbs down right in McConnell's face.

McCain has been dominated and driven by personal hatred of Donald Trump.

Show up and surprise him!

After all, if Trump doesn’t go to his funeral, McCain won’t go to his.

Why the hell is he still in office when he is clearly incapable of serving his constituents?

The more I learn about him, the more I think like this...

As an entrenched member of the establishment, topped off by being a never Trumper, the fawning will be incessant upon his demise. He crossed the aisle you know, which means he's essentially unprincipled. His shenanigans with the healthcare repeal is unforgivable. His petty nature exposed since the Donald entered politics, makes me question his "service"

My opportunity to express to him my regret for supporting him and casting my vote in his "run" grows short. I call it a "run" because I now question if he really cared if he won. Since he's on the establishment team, why would he be disappointed unless a non establishment candidate won. Like he was disappointed when that happened in 2016.

The original Manchurian Candidate.

I always thought it would be ironic that Trump would most likely speak at his funeral.

Despicable petty POS.

Trump and Pence should be golfing together during McCain's demisement ceremony.

A sad, bitter man.
And of his choosing.

Isn't this a time in McCains life when he should be more concerned with his relationship with his creator rather than displaying his bitter views and hatred toward others.

I try very hard to never wish ill on anyone.....sometimes that is really tough to do. McCain needs to just shut the fuck up, and focus on his friends and family, not the MSM and politics.

Just fucking die you POS.

In my estimation, John McCain can stand straight when he meets his maker. He was beaten, tortured, starved and deprived of adequate medical care and he refused the North Vietnamese offer of early release in spite of the approval of his chain of command to do so. Injuries suffered during that time were permanent.

He's going to die soon. Lots of things will be said about him for good or bad. I can't ignore his courage in service to our country.

With any degree of luck, it will be measured in hours. At this point I view this man to be 'worse' than the Dem's. McCain has masqueraded as a conservative Republican while stabbing us in the back at every turn. And if I were Mike Pence, I'd respectfully decline an invitation to his funeral noting I was simply too busy to attend.

I too used to entertain that argument about McCain. But no more. For ever day he spent in captivity in the past, he's hosed this country ten fold ever since. He wore through his war hero credibility some time back with me and is due no respect or compassion whatsoever. My only hope is that the voters of Arizona can find someone good to replace him. It would be hard to find anyone worse.

I may puke!

Mighty presumptuous, he is, that he deserves the President at this funeral.
