John McCain: People Want Me to Run Again for President
After bashing conservative Republicans in recent months, John McCain says he has received calls to run again in 2016.
The Washington Post:
“Particularly since the shutdown, I’ve had a spate of e-mails and letters and phone calls saying, ‘Run for president again,’” McCain told The Arizona Republic. “As you know, I’m seriously thinking about running for re-election to the Senate. But I think, in the words of the late Morris K. Udall, as far as my presidential ambitions are concerned, ‘The people have spoken — the bastards.’”
In his book Too Funny To Be President, Udall, D-Ariz., attributed the quote to California Democrat Dick Tuck. Udall unsuccessfully sought the 1976 Democratic nomination for president.
While even McCain agrees that another presidential candidacy seems far-fetched, Bruce Merrill, a veteran Arizona political scientist and pollster, told The Republic he has fielded multiple calls from out-of-state reporters this year investigating the possibility.
Wild Thing’s comment.………..
LOL he can if he wants to but he will not get my support, no way.
The only phone calls and emails he’s getting are from Democrats wanting to ensure Hillary gets elected.
McCain need to fade into history real fast.
The only thing McCain needs to run for is the retirement center.
