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.

34 years old, a BA in art history, and damn near OD’d on Xanax the night her old man lost to Obozzo. She is the most unqualified person I can think of. Without her last name, she’d be a guide in an art museum or a Walmart manager at best. Many with her degree cannot get a job.

Colonel McSally would be the best appointee. Some fools on FR somehow think she is a closet liberal. We know the Colonel. That is all nonsense.

Based on what? Seriously! What about her resume makes her qualified to be a Senator?

Anyone as hostile to the sitting President as Miss McCain, should never be considered as a replacement Senator - never!!
