McCain faces toughest reelection of his career
2016-03-20
[THEHILL] Sen. John Maverick McCain
... the Senator-for-Life from Arizona, former presidential candidate and even more former foot soldier in the Reagan Revolution...
(R-Ariz.) is facing what may be the toughest reelection of his Senate career in an unpredictable presidential year, when many voters are angry with Washington.
Golly. He's such a lovable maverick, I'm surprised the Dems are running anybody against him.
Early polls show McCain tied with his Democratic challenger, Rep. Ann Kirkpatrick (D-Ariz.), at around 40 percent despite having nearly 100-percent name recognition in the state he has represented in either the Senate or House since 1983.
It looks like Arizona's primary is August 30, 2016. Is nobody running against him for the Republican spot?
“The basic problem for John McCain is the same kind of thing that faces a lot of incumbents right now. He’s been there a long time. People are leery of Washington. They don’t like Washington,” said former Republican Rep. Jim Kolbe, who served 18 years alongside McCain in Arizona’s congressional delegation.

#3  Good riddance to bad baggage.

Also, a brief historical note on just how broken the Republican nomination process is - this idiot was once our presidential candidate.
