Another Reason Why Senator John McCain Needs To Retire

Memo to John McCain:  So, tell me why we want to legalize a group that votes 80% for Democrats in every election going back to Richard Nixon?

If it was the blue collar voters who sat out the last election, why aren’t the Republicans trying to appeal to them instead?  If Chris Christie runs in 2016, the blue collar workers may sit that one out too while Hillary becomes the next president.

The ‘Straight Talk Express’ is back: McCain on his fears about the future of the GOP

Sen. John McCain has a strong warning for Republicans: Falter on immigration reform and the party will lose in 2016.

“If we fail on immigration reform, it won't matter who our nominee is because of the polarization of the Hispanic vote,” McCain, R-Ariz., tells “The Fine Print.” “Now that's not why I'm for immigration reform but it certainly is one of the consequences of a failure.”

McCain, who has simultaneously emerged as a friend to the White House and a critic of some of the new GOP firebrands on Capitol Hill, says he’s hopeful that the August congressional recess will bring lawmakers back to Washington “with at least a willingness to move forward” on a course to overhaul the nation's immigration system.

“Members are back interacting with their constituents,” McCain says of the upcoming recess. “And we see a coalition of Evangelicals, of the Catholic Church, of business, of labor, of small business, high tech, across the board, support the likes of which we, I've never seen for one specific part of legislation.”
