He then spent 40 years in the Senate trying to strip away our 2A rights. I can separate the two acts, and will do the same for John McCain.

I will be glad he is out of the Senate but I do not wish to see him die a painful death.

This.

Honestly, this effects his cognitive abilities and he's refusing to step aside and turn the office over to someone else?
Can't he be forced to the sidelines at this point? If your Mechanic had the very same diagnosis, would you want him working on the vehicle your kids go to school in?

I don't think you are going to have to worry about that much longer.

I don't wish him I'll health or even I'll will on a personal level. Politically we do not agree, but when it comes down to is he medically capable of decision making, if that's even a question, it's time to step down.
This is not the time in history for these antics.

He did a good thing today, maybe the first good thing he did since he was a POW.

Tomorrow, he needs to do a great thing and resign.

Current events would suggest otherwise. We are living in the time of grand antics. However he pretty much said today, he's going to be there a couple of days... I expect to say his goodbyes. Then he goes off to be treated. After which he said he would return to give the other Senators a hard time. I think that last part was more wishful thinking than jest.

Did you miss the Comey hearings??? I'm not trying to be an ass but just from his verbal and memory issues alone during those I would say yes, his cognitive abilities have been impacted.

I'm not sure that's related to his brain tumor.
