Since there are 54 Republican seanators, even without Flake and McCain, it would be 52-48 without Pences vote. The current Senate is comprised of 51 Republicans, 47 Democrats, and two Independents who caucus with the Democrats.

Hey this is not royalty to their bloodline! We are not a monarchy! WTF!?
Not EVER ACCEPTABLE
Uhh this is a U.S. Senator seat and if the Governor is dumb enough to do that, then there should be an immediate recall.

I think when you do the math, and consider that John McCain is no longer able to vote, it comes out like this:
SCENARIO 1A - John McCain stays in Senate, but cannot vote:
50-49 Republican, 1 defection to “NO” loses the nomination, unless offset by a Democrat
SCENARIO 1B - John McCain stays in Senate, but cannot vote:
50-49 Republican, 1 defection to “PRESENT” (or non-voting) makes it 49-49, and Pence breaks the tie, and the nominee is confirmed.
SCENARIO 2 - Cindy McCain is in Senate and votes yes:
51-49 Republican, 1 defection makes the outcome 50-50, Pence breaks the tie, and the nominee is confirmed.
SCENARIO 3A & 3B - Cindy McCain is in Senate and votes no:
50-50 tie, Pence breaks the tie, and the Republican is confirmed; One defection to “NO” or one to “PRESENT” loses the nomination (49-50).
So it only works against us if someone is a no-show or votes “present”, but if they all vote, Cindy can only help us, not hurt us.

If Cindy McCain is appointed, Doug Ducey can kiss his governorship goodbye. He's already stated he was not going to appoint her. AZ, or any other senate or HOR seats, are not an inherited right.

The Republicans will get three to five Democrat votes to confirm the POTUS, Trump choice for the next Associate Supreme Court Justice. No Democrat that is in serious re-election trouble will give up his or her seat to Chuck Schumer, or anyone else. They will vote “yes” to save their seats. This game is over.
If McCain resigns, that is a good thing because the voters of Arizona right now are without one senator that can vote. If it is Cindy McCain and she votes for Trumps Supreme Court nominee, that is OK!!!

Would his wife be any better than a Democrat? I don’t know anything about her, so I have no idea.

I would predict that she would rapidly form a threesome with Murkowski and Collins.
