I suspect Odumbo will deliver the eulogy.

“IIRC, Andy Biggs is a good guy, right? I’ve seen him on FNC a few times, but don’t know much about him.”

Yes, Andy Biggs (AZ-5) is a good guy. Pro-life, opposes gay marriage, opposes net neutrality, called for Mueller’s resignation three times, co-sponsored Rosenstein impeachment resolution, and supported right to try experimental drugs. And this is his first term in office.

Excellent!! I hereby nominate Andy Biggs as United States Senator from Arizona. :-)

The FNC show I have seen Biggs on a few times has been Shannon Bream's 11pm ET show "Fox News @ Night". Shannon is supposed to be a 'straight news' journalist, but I have no doubt she (a graduate of the Christian conservative Liberty University) is a die-hard, pro-life conservative.

This bears repeating every time someone tries to praise McCain. He is beloved by the Democrats for the very reason that he has severely undermined the survival of the "Deplorables" by his statements and actions.

“A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself.

For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.”

- Marcus Tullius Cicero

Bream has to walk that tightrope of actually being a conservative while supposedly being a 'straight news journalist' (per orders of FNC honchos).

She constantly brings pro-life people / politicians on her show, and subtly promotes pro-life subjects. Plus she always has true conservatives like Matt Gaetz and other members of the Freedom Caucus on her show, in addition to the stupid *obligatory* (per FNC honchos) liberals. Conservatives outnumber libs on her show though.

Others on FNC are RINOs... I see it. I just don't see Shannon as one.

Hey, we miss you on the daily Rush thread, AG. :-)

John McCain hated Americans and wanted their homeland replaced with an enlarged Mexico.

His death is a good thing. He can no longer use his office to hurt Americans.

Pelosi, Schumer, and their mob will get front row seats with plenty of phony tears.

Andy is my congressman. Great guy. No chance.

Even if Ducey WERE to select a congressman (he won’t), he wouldn’t take a freshman, but someone like Gosar (who doesn’t want the job, I’m told) or Schweikert.

Name a congressman would stir up a hornet’s nest, expose yet one more OPEN seat that we can’t afford in the House.

No, won’t be any congressman. Am told by a good source that this person was guaranteed by Ducey it would not be McTurd’s wife or daughter. A fave would be Jeff DeWitt, Trump campaign finance guy here in AZ, respected all around, but he is NASA chief financial officer & probably doesn’t want to leave.

No idea who he will appoint, and the seat is up in 2020.

I have to say that’s a very fitting description of McCain’s character.
