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.

If true, this is cause for celebration .

[raiderboy]

Her appointment is absurd.it is cartoonish

[Cheerio]

How is putting Cindy McStain in that seat something to clebrate? Never is a zillion years would I vote for a McStain on Nov 6, 2018, BUT she surly will cast a NO vote on any SCOTUS Justice that DJT nominates!!!! Take that to the bank. If Ducey does this I hope he loses big time in Nov.

Robb: Which Doug Ducey will run for re-election in 2018? (I refuse to read any of the trash put out by AZ REpublic an arm of US Today)

[Cheerio]

If Cindy is the deciding vote affirming our next SCOTUS I’ll live with it.

How do you figure DJT is going to get a SCOTUS confirmation through the Senate obstruction gauntlet before Nov 6, 2018 with the likes of pro-abortion Lisa Makowski and Susan Collins, Flaky Flake and now Cindy McStain? We don't know how McStain will vote but you can bet that Jonnie boy will be whispering in her ear at bedtime.

I hope you Arizonans let Ducey know that McCindy is not acceptable LOUD AND CLEAR.

I didn’t know that a senate seat was an inheritance.

[Dave W]

I don’t necessarily disagree, but it is not worth the hysteria either.

[b4its2late]

Finally, unless he’s a Yeshisassisfat II.

[COUNTrecount]

The Kennedys thought so. Think Ted’s widow.

[mad_as_he$$]

So it’s a done deal.

[InsidiousMongo]

If it’s true, RAILROAD the SCOTUS nominee through!

[The Great RJ]

The people of Arizona should decide in a prompt special election

[DPMD]

Understood. But your response suggests he’s already out of it, on a gurney. Is that his status now?

[iowamark]

Nothing in those articles supports the claim that “Ducey has specifically said that Cindy will NOT be chosen.”

[lodi90]

I wouldn’t waste a second of my life reading a McCain article from the “Santa Monica Observer.”

[Fawn]

Not understanding the original post...I am reading that Mccain will vote yes on supreme court pick if his wife gets his seat?

[MGunny]

The Gov of Arizona must be a total stooge. How about going to the state legislature and deciding??? If the Gov makes that move ,the good people of Arizona need to wake up!!!

Did George Washington’s descendants all get subsequent presidencies?

---

George Washington had no children.
On the other hand, Benjamin Franklin had 84 children, 13 with his wife. And John Quincy Adams, 6th President, was the son of the first President who had a son

[raiderboy]

Its worth total passion because it relates to the direction of this country. Either we preserve the constitution or we slide into a communist state. I suggest extreme concern about that.

I hear not a chance in hell from someone who knows both Ducey and McTurd.
