You have to be 30 years old to be a senator.

Kelli Ward is a friend of mine. She is an incredible person. She and her husband are both ER physicians. Incredibly dedicated professional and public servant. Ducey should name her without delay once McCain retires.

I hope Ducey picks Kelly Ward, because I am not confident she can win in 2018, if she wins the primary. But winning as an incumbent may be an easier ticket for her.

You're right. The traitorous, ope borders Mormon Mafia would see a Democrat elected rather than a conservative Republican. They have massive clout in the AZ GOP now.

And of course, with Senator McCain likely terminally ill, his political philosophy and leanings should be what we're concerned with. You have some soul-searching to do, I think.

No he does not. McCain is a traitor to the United States many times over. I have no sympathy for him. If he refuses to retire, then I pray his end comes soon, as I hoped with Kennedy.

Or Cindy. Appointing the widow to fill out the term is a bipaartisan political tradition.

Only when they die in office. But it is a distinct possibility. From Ducey's bio:

Ducey graduated from St. John's Jesuit High School in 1982 and moved to Arizona to attended Arizona State University while working at Hensley & Co., the Anheuser-Busch distributor owned by the family of Cindy McCain.

I’m sure the kickbacks are a lot bigger for a junior senator than for a small state governor.

Ducey doesn't need any perks. He was the co-founder and CEO of Coldstone Creamery, before selling the company.

“I’d love to see the U.N. leave the United States, and maybe the U.S. leave the U.N.” - Dr. Kelli Ward

It's an oldie, but a goodie.

I do not think she is old enough.

She's 32, two years past the minimum. Time passes!

What does owning property in Arizona have to do with anything?

I don’t see him coming back in the near future. Especially if he will be receiving kimo (sp). Heard on FOX news that McConnell wants a delay on the Health Care vote until he returns to the senate.

Judging from his remarks the other day it looks like Trump is going to support her against Flake.

And, well he should. Flake has been a HUGE disappointment, to say the very least.

For some reason Team Trump prefers DeWit, the Treasurer & a Trumper. Last week a story surfaced that David Bossie of Citizens United (Bossie also in the Trump campaign) met w DeWit and another guy (forget who) to offer $ against Flake. They did not meet w Ward. I don’t know why.

In 16 I met w Ward’s staff & offered my help free. Nothing.
One of the knocks I heard here was that her husband meddled too much-—who knows? Could be sour grapes. But there is a reason Bossie didn’t meet with her.

Flake challenger Kelli Ward meets with Trump’s White House

http://www.azcentral.com/story/news/politics/arizona/2017/07/18/sen-jeff-flake-challenger-kelli-ward-meets-trump-white-house/486927001/

DeWit is a better choice to take on Flake. I’m not sure Kelli can beat him. She is a better fit for the McCain seat via appointment.

If he does retire...

Doubtful, unless he gets to pick his own replacement (which should be considered a preposterous and unethical request) and it's someone like his daughter.
