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.

So with the Supreme Court nominee coming to the Senate, we would now not only have to worry about the abortion lovers, Collins and Merkowski, but Cindy McCain, who has a built in vendetta against the President that her husband has willed to her. Great.
John McCain’s family and aides have been covering for him since he was diagnosed a year ago with brain cancer...
He has not been seen in public, video, or person since leaving Walter Reed Hospital last Dec. 2017, other than for a few photo his obese daughter posted..and they always had him seated and Quiet...
His family said a month or so ago he was walking around and communicating with his aides and family..which made me LOL...LIES AND BULL SH**...
SO WHEN HE RESIGNS ARE WE GOING TO SEE HIM SIGNING PAPERS? WILL THERE BE A VIDEO..OR IS HE CLOSE TO DEATH OR ALREADY DEAD AND THE FACT BEING CONCEALED AND HIDDEN?
Would not be a bit surprised at all...many of us know what occurs with brain cancer especially an aggressive form and in a person 81 years old, frail and weakened...
JMO .. POLITICS IS DIRTY BUSINESS FOR CERTAIN...AND WE CAN TRUST NONE OF THEM....NOR BELIEVE THEM...
Agreed
That is one of Ann Hand’s pieces who has been in jewelry design for many years in WA. DC. Married to retired Naval officer. I have purchased several pieces in her collection for my wife. I think you might be close to the cliff’s edge.
Figured this was coming.
Oh nice, only 100 seats and Traitor John gets to hand it over to someone in a political deal.
Good bye. Sadly his wife would be a similar DCian creature.
You must be mistaken about the Phoenix Bird pin (not eagle as Ann Hand describes hers). The Phoenix pin has been discussed here at Free Republic for years which is where I first learned about it.

If he appoints McCain’s wife that should spell the end of his political career. They are NOT representative.
Thanks. Respect.
She’s pro abortion and on the record.

Hi, I believe in murdering babies in the womb. My husband Johnny wanted me as his replacement because he knew I would be the idea choice to kill his Supreme Court pick.

Not quite the Constitutional scholar, that’s for sure, on my part :)
But I don’t think a senator gets to choose his replacement :)
“appoint a Trump hater to his seat”...
He doesn’t get to do that, just lettin ya know :)
Of course, the assumption is that McCain or his handlers have arranged the required legal moves. This is real politics, not 9th Grade Civics.
They will medivac him to an apartment in DC, from whence he can make a few last dramatic appearances on a gurney wheeled into the Chamber. I'm puking right now.
She's entitded (/sarc)— she's been paying his way ever since he dumped his disabled first wife for her.
That “20 point lead” will evaporate overnight in the Arizona desert if Gov Ducey is really dumb enough to appoint EITHER McCain’s wife OR daughter to fill his Senate seat!!
Thumbs down. F McCain.
