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.

Cindy McCain would be an automatic NO on any Trump’s picks to replace Kennedy on SCOTUS.
“”””””This is a typical John McCain move. Dominate the news on July 4 and the days thereafter. Appoint a Trump Hater to his seat, and attempt to torpedo Trump’s nominee to the Supreme Court.””””””””””
McCain has brain cancer. He hasn’t been talking coherently to anyone for a long time. His handlers are speaking to the press.
Looks like a hybrid of Ellen Degenerate/mashed with Hillary only slimmer than the cankles version of Hillary.
This tit-for-tat is not how a Senate seat should be bought and sold. The AZ Governor is a traitor if he were to deal like this.
Cindy McCain helped take down that Phoenix-based child-trafficking site.
Power stays with de facto royalty in a republic?
Since when?
if the AZ gov. picks Cindy Mcinsane, consider him toast even with a current 20%/ point lead. People won’t stand for this “it’s my turn” type BS!
Finally, the senate, Arizona, and the county at large can be rid of his foul presence.
AZ has not had good luck in picking senators recently.

Let a real gut loving "someone" fill the seat....someone who is in line with the President.
The Founding Fathers did not intent senators to be elected through popular vote.
Good and the seat should go up for a vote.
This is not a monarchy.
Ducey does not dare appoint Cindy. Huge betrayal. She will be a puppet of the McCain cabal.
Royalty.
If true, sickening and cowardly.
And let us stop continuing to call someone senator or governor (etc) after they leave office. No lifetime titles!!
Is it normal for ANY Republicans (including RINOS) to ever vote against a Republican’s pick for SCOTUS?
Kim Jon McCain succession policy
The Forefathers of this great nation left a continent filled with despotic governments based on hereditary political leadership, and created something new and revolutionary. Today I am against anyone following in the “family business”, if the family business is government. Time to stop this nonsense.
That puts a new spin on that movie, ‘Born on the 4th of July’....’Dead on the 4th of July’. ( insert pic of McCain here)
Nobody here mentioned that Ducey would have to pay the price in August.The good news is that it’s not Megan.
That is not necessarily true. It all depends on the part of the brain that the cancer has invaded.
