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.

If they mean in the coffin six feet under then I think it’s a great idea.
The Gov will get crushed if he puts her in.
The Gov will put in a replacement and the election will be in 2 years.
Who writes and suggest such dumbarse sh*t? Good frakin’ grief.
I think she could be made to snap pretty easily. Remember that other Me-again? The scrawny one, not the oleaginous one? What’s she doing now?
Yes, yes, yes.
I warned about this months ago.
“Men fit to be slaves.”
dear God. NOOOOOOOO!!!! Senate seats are not to be inherited. What is wrong with people?
Who neglected to post the BARF ALERT on this one?
Really happy that I don’t live in Arizona.
NO.
Bullsh*t.
“McCain is a conservative of strong values”
Just because she plays one on the view does not mean she really is one.
Who’s the fat chick on the left?
And if you really are a Female Army Captain, thank you for your service (don’t give a crap about the black part) and you GO girl!
Arpiao may or may not be senile but he’s no racist. The Washington Examiner shouldn’t publish such tripe.
Oh, HELL no! Not after her TDS-tinged eulogy to her father.
If she wants to air her grievance about Trump’s POW remark (which was admittedly asinine) to the President on live TV later on, more power to her. If she wants to then make peace with Trump and ally with him, even better. But before then, NO, NO, NO to holding public office, IMO.
“Introducing the next bitter Ssenator from Arizona, Ms. Meghan McCain!”
Just because you say it, does NOT make it so..........
Typical liberal BS, just say some crap and pretend it is true.
I’m now a Lieutenant Colonel. Thanks!
