Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey (R) during a service honoring the late Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) said it is "not natural" to picture the state without McCain, comparing it to Arizona losing the Grand Canyon.

"To the rest of the world, John McCain was Arizona," Ducey said on Wednesday during his remarks at the memorial service in the Arizona State Capital. "When all of us here traveled and told people we were from Arizona, people knew two big things about it: John McCain and the Grand Canyon."

What percentage of the beer brewery will he get for putting Meghan in that seat?

Don’t get too mushy d-bag. Maybe McCain term limits would’ve made him less like the Grand Canyon?

Carpetbagger. Moved there solely for the office. Another Hillary type.

That’s strange, I always picture Arizona with prickly cacti.

Well, they are both big holes.

Although with McCain it is preceded by a three letter word.

Except the Grand Canyon doesn’t hate Americans and seek their replacement via open borders and amnesty.

Maybe God finally relieved the Grand Canyon State from a big pile of RINO Shiite.

John McCain was a small man in statute and in life. PBUH.

I am honestly surprised by the immense glorification McCain is receiving in death. It seems almost ridiculously superlative. Poor Poppy Bush. When he goes, the globalists will have run out of compliments.
