Did they have to sign a form to allow them in the show? I highly doubt any of those people would be proud of that. They deserve any amount of shame they receive. I expect that type of reaction in many places around the country. That probably isn't too far off from the people that select the majority of our senators.

Elizabeth Warren is introducing a bill called the Accountable Capitalism Act.  Seems like a good idea to me.

Capitalism Punishment?

Here's another article that's relevant to some past discussions: Democrats Must Reclaim the Center … by Moving Hard Left

From numlock news (nice free email of random stats):

 

A new Reuters/Ipsos poll found that 84.5 percent of Democrats and 51.9 percent of Republicans would support a policy of Medicare for All in the U.S. healthcare system. The precise implementation of that policy credo is a bit fluid, but the gist is about 70 percent of Americans look favorably on offering some sort of baseline medical care in the U.S.

I really think it's a winning issue if the Dems have the courage to take the heat and lay it out.

So McCain is discontinuing treatment.  Does anyone know how senators are replaced in Arizona?  Could Ducey nominate someone this fall?

They are replaced by special election. Arizona could go from solid red to solid blue within a year.

Yes, but the election wouldn’t take place this year (with the general election). As I understand it, the election wouldn’t be held until 2020, so the governor’s appointee would have two years in office before facing the electorate.

One more factoid is that the appointee has to be the same party as the Senator he’s replacing, meaning that even if a Democrat was making the appointment, a Republican would be named. Sorry, Chief, you’re off the board.

I just want to say while I didn't always agree with John McCain's politics, he is someone I greatly admire. He served his country admirably, with incredible courage and dignity, and he is still doing so today. 

 

My thoughts and prayers to you and your family, Senator. I salute you.

One thing I will always respect about McCain - he's a rare politician willing to 1. go against his party, and 2. change his beliefs based on evidence.

 

We could use roughly 100 Senators just like that.

Also, willing to call out BS when it doesn't benefit him.

Are you sure? I thought it was more like Alabama than Minnesota...

The man stopped one of his supporters, at a rally, to rebuke a lie andcompliment his opponent (Obama) as a great man and a great American.  That's what I think of when I think of McCain - a man of honor and respect. I was proud to vote for John McCain and I wish his final days to be blessed, positive, and peaceful.  We could use more Americans like him.

A true American hero. I also have always had the utmost respect for the man.

Who could be appointed to replace John McCain in the Senate, and the process behind it, explained

John McCain, dead at age 81.

Rest in peace, sir.

A memorable leader, with a legacy that will not be forgotten. A true American hero died today, and it brought me to tears. I wish we had more people like John McCain leading or country, but the reality is we do not. I could say so many things about this man, but others will do a much better job in books. I did not agree with everything he did or said, but I can tell you, I trust he was doing what he felt best for me.

A great man who lived a life of service and he never backed away from what was tough.

I, too, was moved more than I anticipated by John McCain's death.  His integrity was needed now more than ever, and will be sorely missed.

Sadly, but not surprisingly, McCain's captor from Vietnam gave a more genuine and heartfelt tribute than Trump could muster.

The Florida governors race should be very interesting, what with the Trump endorsed Desantis against the Bernie endorsed Gillum.   

In AZ, the senate race tracks to rather moderates given the times.   I thought Sinema's victory statement showed some class.

Interesting market play ... They've been losing share .... Addidas, Reebok, etc. may find some additional share in marketing to military.

So former Sen. Jon Kyl will replace McCain, but has only committed to a year, leaving the possibility that Ducey could nominate someone else, even himself, prior to 2020.  Still surprising that Ducey passed on the opportunity to nominate a Republican who could run as the incumbent in 2020 (I suppose that could still happen); this feels like a very safe choice.

well yeah...of course he was picked...

 

'When Kyl takes office, he will restore the GOP's 51-49 seat majority in the Senate. That margin is critical now as the GOP seeks a majority vote to confirm Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh. Kyl was charged with helping Kavanaugh navigate the confirmation process in the Senate, and "now, Senator Kyl can cast a vote for Kavanaugh's confirmation," Ducey said on Tuesday.'
