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.

It’s not mccains seat....it’s the people of Arizona’s and who they want there. At this juncture it’s the Governors to ‘appoint’.

Any guy suggesting such a thing as Ducey appointing Meghan McCain to replace her father obviously watches the view. Goes without saying.

Nuff sed.

This Rogan guy ought to be working for the WaPo or CNN or MSNBC, his ‘talents’ are wasted on the Examiner.

Not only was he wrong about everything he wrote, he was stupid about it too.

“NO. NO. NO.”

I agree.

The pygmy hippo only appears to be conservative on TV because she’s surrounded by full blown marxists.

Sit 0bama next to joy behar, and she’ll make him look conservative too.

I was going to say some things that would probably not be good for Free Republic so I’ll just leave a nice note to thank you for all you’ve done. Thanks Captain!

God bless Megan. I hope she finds happiness in life somewhere miles away from a camera or microphone. Maybe she could start a foundation that gives poor people farm land?

I don’t think we need another neo-con elitist in the Senate being led by the nose by Mitch McConnel and company. Her animosity to Trump would perpetuate existing bad blood for the MSM and others to exploit.

You pick someone who will run and win in 2020 - not a caretaker.

Governor Ducey will be committing political suicide if he appoints MEGhan McNasty to the senate. He’d better not double cross the Arizona Trump supporters who helped put him in office.

NO, NO, NO!

We have had virtually no representation here in Arizona for years we need a conservative voice that represents our values. Megan McCain can find her own way. We do not need a McCain or a Flake for Senator ever again. How about the constituents actually get a voice in this for crying out loud.
