The asshole divorced his ever faithful wife, who stayed by his side while he was a POW, and married the multi-millionaire.
I agree that it was none of HIS doing, but what kind of woman marries a man who divorces his wife when he returns FRom a POW camp?
She gets no respect FRom this Vietnam Veteran!

The point i am making is larger than a specific person.
McCain is a pos and that is a totally different and standalone issue all on its own.

Point taken.
Governor Ducey should appoint the person that he believes will best represent the citizens of the USA and Arizona in the US Senate.
That should be his ONLY criteria.
If that person somehow just HAPPENS to be Mrs. McCain, so be it!

I categorically oppose this. We do not have royalty. Being a wife is not an elected position.
