Who the hell writes this crap???? She has kidney cancer. It's being removed not replaced. Kidneys are REPLACED when 1 is bad and the other is worse. Then a donor kidney (singular) is plugged in to carry the load.

I wrote the headlines. See how most people don't read the rest of the post?
Same thing mainstream media is doing to Trump.
Well, I hope she gets better.

The reports mentioned Stage IV and metastasized to ribs. The spread beyond beyond the origin is usually a bad sign. They mentioned expectation of full recovery though, so seems like things are positive.

Having lost my mom to cancer, I f'ing hate cancer.  Wouldn't wish cancer on anyone.

As anyone would! I am sorry about your mom. I have lost both my parents to incurable diseases.

I am a VN vet and an agent orange victim with a list of issues one of which is stage 4 kidney disease. Thank the LORD and many docs and my wife I wake up every morning.

By the way only a limp richard moron would not realize FAKE NEWS. Our president has said it enough and our lommy (liberal commy) news outlets have wasted their time and efforts stirring up their intelligence deficient followers.

my apologies if I offended anyone. I had my kidneys fail 5 years ago along with my liver. Painful place to be

The point I was trying to make is that our President is getting roasted 24/7 by the media. Fake news. Over reported news.
President Trump does go by actions the MSM buries it

The Democrats pushed Obamacare down the throats of the entire nation.  They've had 8 years to make it better.

I'd like to know how much annual deductible she'll pay before insurance kicks in.  Some families have to pay $10K - $13K annually before their ACA plan pays one cent.

Yeah, I'm going there, because she's a Democrat, and they forced this on us all.  It would be nice to see if she's following her own law or getting better coverage than the peasants can afford.

Good God we all know it's crap. How does complaining about it help?  A course of action would make more sense. Do you have one?

They all are!!! Every single person in WA DC. All those representing us. Representing us as long as they aren't affected. But this can't be a new revelation can it?

And it should be good for a Liberal -- no risk of rejection.

One more half witted comment.

The democrats rammed obamacare down our throats.

The democrats are ramming their anti 2A ideology down our throats a bite at a time.

How do we turn this around? One republican at a time. As you all know for each republican in office pulls the rug further out from under the feet of the democrats.

Well this brainless half wit has other things to attend to. Enjoy your conversations.

Chances are Hirano has the requisite best federal government health plan all senators and representatives get. They don't have to accept ACA unless they wish to.

As much as I hate her politics and have stated as much in this forum, I wish her a full and speedy recovery.

She certainly is attempting to send a clear message to Tulsi to not get any "ideas"...

In an email to her constituents Tuesday, Hirono confirmed that she is "without question" running for re-election in 2018."

I guess for others who may not have read the originally-linked article, further quotes (emphasis added):

Political analysts say it's an important strategy in politics -- show no weakness.

"This is a very valuable Senate seat. There's a lot of other competitors waiting in the wings who would like to run for the Senate seat and an important thing when you're an incumbent is to discourage potential competitors," said Colin Moore, political analyst.

I remember another member of Congress who had pneumonia and was "feeling much better" right up to the day after the deadline to remove her name from the ballot.  She died the next week and forced an interim appointment and a special election.

The Democrats here won't vacate a seat in politics at any level even in the face of impending death.  They are all about maintaining their power at any and all costs.

Were Hirono to "vacate" the office after winning the 2018 election, the governor would appoint a successor... which is exactly how Schatz ascended to his throne.
