Report: Cindy McCain Likely to Succeed Husband John McCain in Senate
breitbart ^ | Joshua Caplan

Posted on 05/28/2018 5:31:09 PM PDT by davikkm

Cindy McCain, wife of ailing Sen. John McCain (R-AZ), is likely to succeed the longtime lawmaker, a new report says. John Gizzi, Newsmax’s chief political correspondent, reports:

As Arizonans prepare for their final salute to Sen. John McCain, Republicans and political pundits in the state privately tell Newsmax they expect the appointment of his wife, Cindy, to succeed him in the Senate.

Those who did agree, almost unanimously, that Cindy McCain following John in the Senate through appointment by Republican Gov. Doug Ducey is a near-certainty.

One longtime friend of the McCain family told Newsmax he long thought Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey would appoint Cindy McCain to the Senate after her husband became too ill to serve.

During her husband’s 2008 presidential run, Cindy McCain, who has described herself as pro-life, told CBS she does not believe Roe v. Wade should be overturned.

Cindy McCain joined her daughter Meghan McCain in supporting gay rights, appearing in a 2010 “NOH8” campaign with duct tape over her mouth.

Arizona law REQUIRES that the governor name a replacement from the same political party that the deceased Senator was in when elected to his/her term of office.

If Arizona had a Democrat Governor, that Governor would GLEEFULLY appoint Cindy to replace her husband. And that Governor would not believe his good fortune.

Governor Ducey’s True political stripes will be revealed by this appointment. Will he name a MAGA supporting individual or will he name a globalist RINO (posing as conservative) such as Cindy McCain?

Republicans and political pundits in the state privately tell Newsmax

they expect the appointment

Of course, no one in the Grand Canyon State who spoke to us wants to go on record

agree almost unanimously,

is a near certainty.

I’ve always assumed that was the arrangement,” said a friend of the McCain family

A former Republican senator who served with McCain agreed:

“I don’t know if this [succession] has been formalized, but that’s what people who know John tell me.”


so fake


One source close to the McCain family said supporters of the senator have quietly let Gov. Ducey know Cindy is the choice of “Team McCain.”

Who cares?


Others mentioned for appointment include: Ducey’s top aide Kirk Adams, a former speaker of the state House of Representatives; and Karrin Taylor Robson, multi-millionaire businesswoman and member of the State Board of Regents.

So this is all NewsMax rubbish.

Did Ducey sell the seat to Cindy, Illinois-style?

If the Beer Baroness does get appointed to the Senate, she must be required to divest herself of the liquor empire, since the Federal Government regulates that industry.

Being well known is not the same thing as being qualified.
I hope the voter ask her pointed questions. She is ‘owed’ nothing, and must prove herself for the nomination like anyone else.

MCCAIN FORTUNE TRACED TO ORGANIZED CRIME

-John McCain’s personal fortune traces back to organized crime in Arizona, through his father-in-law, according to a report published by a multi-news agency team called Investigative Reporters and Editors Inc.

-According to Marley’s longtime public relations man, Al Lizanetz, the Marley liquor empire was founded by the Bronfman family dynasty of Canada which operated Allied Finance Company, Northern Export Company and Distillers Corporation – the Seagrams, Ltd. empire.

https://www.nytimes.com/2017/10/17/nyregion/nxivm-women-branded-albany.html

many of Mr. Raniere’s followers learned of the secret society from a website run by a Buffalo-area businessman, Frank R. Parlato Jr. Mr. Parlato had been locked in a long legal battle with two sisters, Sara and Clare Bronfman, who are members of Nxivm and the daughters of Edgar Bronfman, the deceased chairman of Seagram Company.

Are the people of AZ going to put up with this crap? They need to start a campaign against it now. Start calling the governor’s office 24/7 nonstop.

It is not an nomination; the voters have no say in the matter, it is an appointment. And McCain (who has probably been dead for a few weeks) and his family and minions have set things up so that there will be no special election.
