It must be tough to be Senator McCain.
He spent all that money beating Hayworth in a split primary only to go back to the Senate and have some conservative upstart from Texas keep reminding him that he’s nothing. Politely and certainly not directly, but he does the job. And to top it off, McCain will likely spend his last term in the Senate with the new Tea Party sorts like Cruz running rings around him over and over again (though I will grant that duplicitous amnesty shill Rubio didn’t turn out so well).
It can’t be fun. A new group of Senators actually intent on doing their jobs refuses to respect the elder-statesman-in-his-own-mind and let him have his way. They were even elected on their own merits with genuine grassroots energy. McCain, on the other hand, has no other claim to fame other than the fact he annoys conservative better than anyone else for media kudos. Kind of like a dancing, mavericky monkey that amuses his masters by throwing peanuts at the passers-by.
So happy I donated to Cruz.
