Former Republican Nominee for President wants to avoid a defeat for Trump's SCOTUS nominee
Cindy McCain has been offered her husband's Senate seat
Senator John McCain will resign his US Senate seat on July 4, 2018, says an aide who asked not to be named because he was not authorized to speak to the press.
"In the end, it was about Kennedy resigning from the Supreme Court," said the aide. "Confirming a (SCOTUS) replacement before the election is considered in the interest of the national Republican party, so that it doesn't become an issue for Dems to run on in every race," said the aide, meaning every race for Senate or Congress.
The Aide indicated that the Senator wanted to wait until June 1 to resign, so that his seat would not be on the ballot along with retiring Jeff Flake. Republican Gov. Doug Ducey will appoint a Senator to serve until the 2020 election.
The aide said that Ducey has quietly offered McCain's seat to Cindy, but the 64 year old wife of Senator John McCain has made no decision as of yet. "Understandably, she doesn't want to think about it," he added.

So there may be an actual ounce of decency in the nutjob?
He can’t vote via Skype or Face Time, he has to BE in DC, in person.
He hasn’t been seen since December.
Will she also be running his child sex slave operations?
Then I am happy you thought it was sarcasm.
I forgot what a cad he was, but she is not without some measure of questionable behavior.
JMO, but I do not like her.
Good that he’s resigning (finally). But his wife should not be appointed to fill it!
I picture them wheeling him in like Captain Pike on the original Star Trek and having Meghan McCain push a button to activate the red light for a “no” vote.
What do you hear about Ducey appointing Cindy McShame? This will enrage a lot of people, but maybe Ducey doesn’t care.
Ducey has not said that. What he has done is sidestep the question. At first they put out that he would not nominate anyone who had expressed interest in the seat. Now his rep that attends our county Republican meetings say the Governor’s position is that there is no vacancy so there is no one under consideration.
I think we can agree the replacement should NOT be:
Any McCain, anyone related to a McCain
Grant Woods(GAG I just threw up in my mouth)
Martha McSally, more RINO than conservative
Why is this fake news from a fake news site being allowed to remain up in the Breaking News sidebar?
I do agree. No McCain or McSallys or Mcanything.
Happy Birthday America!
Hopefully, true. And let’s not elect his daughter!
A McCain promise is like a Campaign promise. Here today, gone tomorrow. Team Death and its family always have sinister plans. The Party sure needed his vote on Death Care. Where was Team Death then ?
Why not bring Kelli and McSally into a room and sit down with them and say, “one of you will be appointed and one of you will have to run for Flake’s seat. The one picked will campaign like hell for the other one. I don’t care which one of you is which, I just want to keep both seats. So which of you would be more likely to win in November, and which of you wants to run again in 2020? Can you figure it out between the two of you? Or do I have to find someone else?”
Wishful thinking, I know.
I am dubious that the Governor would inflict someone’s wife as a United States Senator on the people of his state without enormous voter back lash. . Who the hell is “cindy McCain”. Give me a list of her qualification beyond being married to Songbird. This story has to be fake except that Songbird is resigning. Surely Songbird has the small vestige of honor enough to resign for the good of the people of his state. AND THE NATION!!
What about Quayle, Jr. he trolls around AZ?
Ha. Really? I like Dan Quayle. Cool guy. Great Golfer . 7 handicap!!
His son Ben
