Former Republican Nominee for President wants to avoid a defeat for Trump's SCOTUS nominee
Cindy McCain has been offered her husband's Senate seat
Senator John McCain will resign his US Senate seat on July 4, 2018, says an aide who asked not to be named because he was not authorized to speak to the press.
"In the end, it was about Kennedy resigning from the Supreme Court," said the aide. "Confirming a (SCOTUS) replacement before the election is considered in the interest of the national Republican party, so that it doesn't become an issue for Dems to run on in every race," said the aide, meaning every race for Senate or Congress.
The Aide indicated that the Senator wanted to wait until June 1 to resign, so that his seat would not be on the ballot along with retiring Jeff Flake. Republican Gov. Doug Ducey will appoint a Senator to serve until the 2020 election.
The aide said that Ducey has quietly offered McCain's seat to Cindy, but the 64 year old wife of Senator John McCain has made no decision as of yet. "Understandably, she doesn't want to think about it," he added.

Doubt it. Some time ago he said he wouldn’t appoint anyone who had “campaigned” for the job (maybe not exact quote but he meant Kelli). Now, with McSally & Ward in a race for Flake’s seat, Ducey would anger 30% of all Rs by taking one or the othee.
Moreover, I heard that Ducey will nominate someone good for Ducey.

R: A wet bird never flies at night.
And Ken Bennett is the fringe candidate Ducey won’t debate because Bennett said he will not appoint Cindy or Meghan McCain to that seat. That was just so tacky a thing to bring up during the campaign. I think Ducey has already cut a deal with one of the McCain women
Ducey should offer the spot to Carol McCain, his first wife who he dumped after she was injured in a car accident.
I hope Ducey appoints Kelli Ward.
Larry, do you have any insight?

Hell, if he did that hed be recognized as a political genius in the long run. But were not likely to be that lucky. Remember, Trump hasnt yet completed its transformation, so its still THE STUPID PARTY.
Look, if Arizona votes in a couple more GOP senators, it HAS GOT to be better than the dynamic duo.

Not if theyre like McSally.
This report is as bogus s $3 bill. I am surprised it hasn’t been pulled.
1865 should have made that clear, the 17th Amendment made it useless.
Still...she's not a political animal and if you think she's going to give up the money power she has to be a Senator....something she's not even a tad qualified for.....
She made him sign a pre-nup...You rfeally think she's going to file a disclosure form or create a blind trust??
“If this is true, how can a devoted wife leave her husband in his reported condition.”
I sense a slight sarcasm and some irony.
She didn't marry him, she married his political power or probability of achieving it.
Probably Fake. He wants to screw with Trump on the SCOTUS pick. because he’s just an asshole..
Jan Brewer
David Schweichert
John Kyl
Kelli Ward
No one has ever voted for Cindy McCain. They HAVE voted for Kelli Ward even though she didn’t get enough votes. Kelli Ward should be appointed. I believe she will then prove herself worthy enough to win the election next time ending the McCain curse.
Well, if true old Cindy sure f-cked her way to the top. What the hell is this practice of senators giving their Senate seats to their wives? What the hell is this? Do they think these are nobility titles they hand out like candy? This is a freaking constitutional republic. Senate seats are not their own personal property.
Most excellent.
he is not a hero in my book.....he's a pudgy little arrogant piece of ship who's probably as dirty as anyone in DC, maybe more so...
thankyou to Sarah Palin, for putting up with him..
Sarah, thru her brief 15" of fame, did more to enliven the patriot/conservative/proAmerica movement than anyone in recent history....
she has been underappreciated in the grand scheme of things...
Brewer did all she could with obamatard threatening her all the time, especially after the famous pic of her pointing and scolding obamatard at the tarmac. I’m sure he hated it and eventually folded like an accordion in the suceeding weeks. They got to her, or else, she’ll end up like Scalia..
