John McCain Worries He's Tea Party's 'Number One Target' In 2016
[BREITBART] Sen. John Maverick McCain
... the Senator-for-Life from Arizona, former presidential candidate and even more former foot soldier in the Reagan Revolution ...
(R-AZ) implied that he would run for another Senate term in 2016 and is worried that he is the top target of conservatives and Tea partiers who have never trusted him.
If you're gonna be a loose cannon y'can't expect everybody to follow you...
"You have to hope for the best and prepare for the worst," McCain told MSNBC on Wednesday when asked if he would run for reelection in 2016. "I definitely think that I would have to absolutely anticipate a tea party candidate or two or three... everybody tells me that I'm the number one target of the tea partiers."
One of the things that Tea Partiers don't like is politicians who intend to die of old age in office.
McCain told the left-wing outlet that he was "absolutely" leaning toward running again and said he talked with "finance people in the state," in addition to "different groups and organizations ranging from the Arizona Chamber to the Southern Arizona Defense Alliance to build the coalitions we need to build" for reelection.
In 2010, McCain survived a primary with less-than-formidable challengers (J.D. Hayworth) in large part because former Alaska Governor Sarah Mama Grizzly Palin
... the babe libs love to hate ...
loyally endorsed him. McCain also cut a campaign commercial promising to build the "danged fence" along the border.
It hasn't appeared yet. Maybe that's another reason the Tea Partiers aren't fond of him.
