HELL NO!
?

[Lurkinanloomin]

It’s going to be Meghan.

[Alberta's Child]

The best scenario is for the loser in the upcoming GOP primary to get appointed to that post.

[Publius]

Agreed. That was the deal from the beginning.

[Inkie]

He should appoint the most conservative person he can find and that certainly wouldn’t be Cindy. Megan either.

[Petrosius]

No! This is a republic; we do not have an hereditary aristocracy.

[BenLurkin]

So, so, so very wrong.

[Seaplaner]

No!

Thank you very much.

“He should appoint the most conservative person he can find and that certainly wouldn’t be Cindy. Megan either.

Ducey is up for re-election and will certainly lose if he chooses either McCain. He’s already in the hot seat for failing to show up at the last Trump rally in Phoenix.

My guess: Andy Biggs

The Senate is NOT the House of Lords and the US does NOT have hereditary titles. Stop this nonsense.

[faithhopecharity]

Yes, appointing the daughter would be a terribly gross affront, insult to the people of Arizona. The best qualified ( conservative) person should be selected

[Trump20162020]

To be fair, picking the wife to finish out a dead Senator's term is hardly unprecedented.

[Theodore R.]

The people of AZ are going to be crestfallen without him.

This is the kind of thing that used to happen in banana republics - the wives and children of powerful men inheriting their positions in government. Now it’s a feature of American politics, and a very unwelcome one. What possible qualification does Cindy McCain possess for being a US senator?

[Flaming Conservative]

About the same qualifications Hellery had when she was coronated.

$$$$$$

[advertising guy]

” unprecedented “ ?

Neither is crapping on a Police car, but that don’t make it right

[Hildy]

I guarantee you Governor Ducey WILL NOT appoint Cindy. As my friend who has warm feelings for the Senator told me, “what makes anyone think she wants it.” Hell, I’d say Meghan McCain before Cindy. But that won’t happen either. Lighten up guys.

[Alberta's Child]

It's worth noting that Carnahan promptly lost the special election held a year and a half later to serve out the remainder of the term.

If one of McCain's family members feels they're entitled to his Senate seat, let them get it the old-fashioned way ... by getting ELECTED to it.
