Meghan McCain would be a great Senate replacement for her father
Washington Examiner ^ | 27 August 2018 | Tom Rogan

Posted on 09/03/2018 9:34:53 PM PDT by BlackFemaleArmyColonel

Sen. John McCain's passing has left his Senate seat vacant and waiting to be filled by Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey, a Republican. If she's interested in filling that seat, Meghan McCain would deserve immediate support from conservatives.

To be clear, Meghan McCain might not want to be a U.S. senator. And that's fine, no one should ever face pressure to serve in public office unless in the situation of a national emergency. But if McCain is open to replacing her father until a special election can be held in 2020, she would make a great conservative successor to her irreplaceable predecessor.

First off, McCain is a person of high integrity. The best evidence for this is rendered by McCain's television appearances on ABC's "The View." Surrounded by liberals with whom she fundamentally disagrees, McCain balances passionate argument and respect. In our era of partisan rancor, the need for senators who can get along even as they disagree has never been greater. John McCain was one example of that high character and his daughter would be another.

Second, McCain is a conservative of strong values. Whether pushing back against socialism, or politely interrogating guests, or arguing for social mobility and a strong national defense, McCain's appearances on "The View" show that she is well-versed on the issues and well-placed to advance conservative interests. This bears close consideration in light of the fact that Tuesday's Republican primary for Arizona's second Senate seat is being contested by one Republican, one ( perhaps senile) racist, and one extreme moron. Compared to the latter two, McCain would set a far higher standard as a conservative representative. Arizona deserves her service.

I suggested several days ago that this is a much more likely choice among family members.

Missy McCain revealed her true character (Petty, hateful, bitter and nasty) with her funeral “oration”.

Aside from her Trump hate, her angry, spiteful personality and her lack of any meaningful life experience, I’m pretty sure she’d be channeling McQueeg when it came to senate votes, and would be the newest media darling from day one.

Don’t do it, Ducey.

Pure unadulterated crap. Hogwash, poppycock, and nonsense, to put it in a few vernacular terms.

Ridiculous.

Ducey will never be re-elected if he does this.

"...his daughter would be..."


We live in a country with regularly-scheduled elections.
Senate offices are not to be passed down like family heirlooms.

I had a feeling she was using the funeral to launch her political career. Here we go. The worm-infested apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. She’ll be huffing and puffing and kissing democRat butt to walk in her Daddy’s footsteps. And they will love it.
