trip with mccain. first, neil, i appreciated your account that you wrote about today. tell us more about how you ended up on this trip to the grand canyon with john mccain? it. sure. it s good to be with you this evening. what s sort of happened is i was being assigned as we were planning for roll call s coverage. i was assigned to find a republican senator that was skipping out on donald trump s nomination being awarded to him and i assumed that i was probably going to end up in new hampshire with kelly ayot, the republican senator at the time up there. but what happened was i was just talking to senator mccain one day as i often would do and as a lot of reporters on capitol hill would often do in the basement of the capitol and ask what he was up to during the week of the convention and he just sort of
