Cindy McCain Set to Succeed Husband in Senate
Newsmax ^ | Monday, 28 May 2018 11:28 AM | John Gizzi

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.

Believable.

But why would the governor do this?

I am very tired of all of these American Dynasties. Now, as to McCain's wife -- what are her qualifications to be a U.S. Senator? Wasn't she like some beauty pageant winner? She may be a perfectly nice person; but, how is she Senate material?


You could also say the same about 60% of the incumbents, and have their records as proof of your statement!

Public office devolving to a family member is Feudalism. It is NOT American Democracy.

I am profoundly disgusted by this.

This has to go through the governor, does it not?

*******************

Yes the Gov. makes the appt. If it happens before May 31, the
appt will be until the Nov. 2018 election. If after the appt will
be until the election in Nov. 2020.

The people of Arizona voted for McStain, many times.
It’s morally repugnant like everything McStain, but technically, it’s fair that his wife is put in his place. Let the people voting for him eat their own vomit, it’s called personal responsibility.

Is this so McInsane’s communist staff maintains their jobs? Staffers in both houses of Congress need to be overhauled. As in, Bye Felicia. lol

I wonder how many Legacy Staffers there are in DC.

McCains are not “entitled” to that seat.

This should not be allowed.

McCain’s have all sorts of foundations they tap for whatever they choose...Foundations are ‘collection” agencies for political purposes, they drop a few coins to what ever the cause is but the bulk $$$ is traded as fast as stocks and bonds.

One of the first things politicians do going into or out of office is set up a foundation....wash and repeat.

McQueeg sees himself as a Kennedy. He wants his own dynasty. If the governor appoints Cindy he’s as pathetic a RINO as McQueeg and Flakey.
