Cindy McCain, the widow of the late Sen. John McCain, said on a podcast released Wednesday that the Republican Party is "excluding people for the wrong reasons" and is no longer "the party that my husband and I belonged to."
When McCain was asked if Democrats have a chance to win Arizona in 2020, she said she "really can" see the southwestern state going blue.
"We have, on my side of the aisle, on the Republican side, we see a local party in Arizona that's not functioning well. And it's excluding people. And it's excluding people for the wrong reasons," McCain said in an interview for Politico's "Women Rule" podcast.
John McCain, whose career in Washington spanned decades, cultivated a reputation for occasionally opposing Republicans.

And I should care? Why? Everyone is entitled to their own beliefs...at least for now.
Doesn’t she have some high-end shopping to do, or a room to redecorate in one of her many mansions?
*Rolleyes*
Winning!
Did they HAVE a rino party?
This is a good thing.
They celebrate themselves
She sobered up long enough to say this?
‘Women Rule’...pfffft! There’s the problem...Isaiah 3:12.
I think she meant RINO party....
You beat me to it!
John McCain was a Republican? Who knew?
No Powers Boothe yet, Y’all are slackin’
Thank God.
Years ago, what today we call “RINOs”, were willing to style themselves as “Progressives”.
They were listed on separate party affiliations on ballots in Wisconsin and in New York State, as I recall. Back then, there was no viable Democrat party in Wisconsin and many other states, partly as a residual from the time of the Civil War, when the Democrats, if not actually prohibited, were so unattractive to most US citizens not in the Old Confederacy, that they only formed a pallid little club in many of what were considered “Union” states.
It was not until the the rise of FDR, and the New Deal, that the Progressives began their migration to the Democrat party. The Progressive party was formally dissolved in Wisconsin only after the Second World War, when they signed a “peace treaty” with the old guard Republicans of Wisconsin, and one of the outcomes was the rise of Joseph McCarthy, who was always a very anti-Progressive politician, as the Progressives had become riddled with pro-Soviet members and agents. This propelled Senator McCarthy to take a very strong anti-Communist stance, but Joe being Joe, he got a little strident, and offended the members of what even then was the Deep State. Joe tackled the infiltration of our government, particularly the State Department and the Department of the Army, in headlines, but most of what he charged was well documented in records obtained from both the Army and State Department archives, until it was so highly classified that only the Russians ever knew about later developments.
John McCain considered himself to be the reincarnation of Teddy Roosevelt, a person he claimed to admire greatly, but was well know for being the “Progressive Republican” President.
I would certainly hope so.
PING!
Who is this Cindy McCain? Should I care?
What, pray tell, are the RIGHT reasons, Cindy? We're not supposed to exclude sexual deviants, communists, swindlers, illegal immigrants, layabouts, jihadis ...
Makes one wonder, just who we can legitimately exclude, according to our moral betters.
Thank God. Their GOP was a cult of machoists taking from the Dems.
FU Meagan you get pig.
McCain was a disaster as a Senator and a Republican. I generally despise democrats but so far Sinema has been a better Senator than McCain ever was.
