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.
Of course, no one in the Grand Canyon State who spoke to us wants to go on record discussing what will happen when the ailing McCain no longer holds his seat. But 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.
"I've always assumed that was the arrangement," said a friend of the McCain family since John's 1973 return from captivity in Vietnam.
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."
(Both of those who spoke to Newsmax did so under promise of anonymity).
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."
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.
Because of the time factor involved in a Senate seat opening in Arizona, speculation has begun to mount about what will happen when the Senate seat Republican McCain has held since 1986 finally is open.
Should the seat become open before June 1, state law requires a special election this fall. Democrats from Phoenix to Washington, D.C., make little secret of their desire of having another Senate seat on the fall ballot in 2018 because they sense it is a good year for the party outside the White House.

Folks in AZ better start protesting this ASAP.
As in, FLOOD GOVs VOICEMAIL!!
It's not too hard to visualize her with a whip, in her dominatrix outfit, telling the pathetic slave McAnus, exactly what his positions are to be.
("Yes master")
American royalty.
How far we’ve fallen.
Let’s see, Hillary was supposed to follow Bill...that didn’t work out. The Left has totally gone down the trail blazed by the North Koreans. The Dems want to create an inherited rulership, based upon the reputation, and or accomplishments of the spouse, parent etc.
They salivated at the idea of Robert Kennedy or Ted being elected as President. It’s a wonder they didn’t try to run Jackie Kennedy. Notice that the MSM always betrays the Royals in Britain, and Socialist/Communist/Muslim dictators is a good light.
They’ll be running Chelsea and Michelle next.
Think Sonny Bono’s wife. How was that? The congressman from Monterey, Ca succeeded by his wife, the nurse.
“betrays the Royal”
*****
Sorry, that’s portrays the Royals.
Is this a republic or a hereditary aristocracy? No more political dynasties, Republican or Democrat!
If this happens then the gloves are off. I want an investigation into the McCain foundation and children’s charity.
Replacing a liberal carpetbagger senator with a rich trophy wife.
What could go wrong?
I hope it will not be her. We should choose based on ability and values, not just another dynasty. No more Bushes, Clintons, Obamas, or McCains. Just patriots who value the rule of law.
or just plain ignorant.
Ain’t it the truth. Just as most of the Bush women were more leftists than their globalist mates.
If Gov. Ducey pulls this bullshit and appoints Cindy McCain hope he is not planning on running again. McCain may be loves by team McCain but his approval in AZ is around 34% are less. Another McCain is the last person that the people of AZ need are want.
Cindy wears the pants anyway ...
Oligarchs! Rule by divine birth!
His wife sells swill fraudulently advertised as beer!
You are presuming we currently have a Constitutional Republic.
Great...just what we need, a rich heiress who destroyed her charity American Voluntary Medical Team (AVMT) by skimming drugs from it for her own use. An AVMT employee discovered her abuse, and was terminated. He reported her to the DEA who opened an investigation into the matter. The same lawyer who represented McLame in the Keating 5 scandal represented Mrs. McLame in her case, and although they tried to get it swept under the carpet, she ended up having to pay a fine, attend rehab among other things. The fired employee sued, and McLame settled the case for $200,000. The would-be Senator claims she started abusing drugs at the time of the Keating 5 scandal. If she couldn’t handle the pressure then, how will she possibly be able to handle the pressure of Washington, D.C.?
Homewrecker.
She can think about it all she wants.
Perhaps they should consult us voters in AZ first. We dont want another lame MCCain.
