(Not in this article--"Kelli Ward says McCain should quit so she can take over on an Indiana radio station today.")

The last Republican to run against Sen. John McCain (R., Ariz.) called on him to step down "as quickly as possible" following his Wednesday cancer diagnosis.

Maybe we can do an exchange with Brittan and give them McCain for Charlie Gard? Everyone would be happy!

McCain's final days will be orchestrated to allow for both state and federal farewells, etc.
Then he may step down to allow for a replacement to be named. We'll see.

McCain will do the same thing Ted Kennedy did. Hang on till the last.

Here in the N’west of the state, McCain isnt well liked at all.

The low information Republican primary voters probably won’t like Kelli’s statement, but I agree with her 100%.

I agree. She is being honest and realistic. I would vote for her if I could. She impressed me during the primary.

If appointed, she would not face reelection for 5 years. The low info voters will never remember what she said today.

If appointed before the 2018 general election, the individual appointed to that seat would have to run in 2018. The victor in 2018 would run again in 2022 when the six year term expires.

If appointed after the 2018 general election, the individual appointed to that seat would have to run in 2020. The victor in 2020 would run again in 2022 when the six year term expires.

John McCain should not be in the US Senate and I have no problem with her putting her name forward.

Its amazing how the GOPe smear machine gears up to destroy conservatives when they speak up like Kelli Ward.

OMG - the final days, squeezing the life out of America. Then the very dignified, sanctimonious funeral (a la Ted Kennedy)

Pray we be spared from the spectacle.

I can’t say.

Can you supply the exact quote of what she said or is this opposition research without an exact quote dumped on the Internet from McCain’s political machine and by God big time well financed politicians like him do have one?

McCain is bought and paid for by the defense contractors who rigged the Iran nuclear deal through Republicans in the Senate.

That was a defense contractor like Boeing can sell 100 planes to the Iranians (Airbus is selling 83) while politicians sanction Iranian officials and politicians beat their chests berating Iran.

He will stay in the Senate until he resigns, dies or loses an election.

Maybe so, but everything she said is true. McCain should have retired years ago. I would love to see her in the Senate, though I am pretty sure the GOPe will lobby for her to be replaced by another GOPe, just as they have done everywhere else.

mccain, like ginsburg, will be wheeled around doing business on a specialized life support gurney even while brain dead.

McCain will not resign and spend his last few days with his family.

He has jihadis to arm and illegal aliens to amnesty.

She wants the job enough to run against McCain. She should be given the seat if it comes to that, not some opportunist.

The Cheap Labor Express wants another stooge like McCain, her name is McSally. She even has military creds like McCain.

Huge mistake, huge. Her problem is, as a doctor, she is just looking at reality, but she never should have said that

And you should be named: “Free Republic Poster of the Year” right? Or at least offering up your name. Lol

I hope you’re smarter than that. Stupid move on her part. Is there anyone in the whole state of AZ that doesn’t know she wants to be Senator? Case closed.
