Is This RINO's Long Career Coming
to an End?
Senator John McCain's career as the face of the GOP Establishment may be
coming to an end. According to Hill, the Trump Train may be to blame:
Sen. John McCain (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.
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.
“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.“This is a very tough challenge,
probably the toughest race that he's faced since he was first elected,”
Kolbe added.McCain’s path to victory is complicated by the likelihood
the GOP ticket will be headed byDonald Trump, who has an
overwhelmingly negative rating among Hispanic voters, a powerful
and growing electoral bloc in Arizona.
The Establishment favorite is well funded and has deep ties in the state,
so it's not curtains yet. But it wouldn't be surprising if this is the end of
a long illustrious career.
