John McCain To Resign Senate Seat on the 4th of July, Says Aide. Cindy McCain Offered his Seat
Santa Monica Observer ^ | July 1, 2018 | Stan Greene

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.

>Doesn’t the city of Tucson have the highest kidnapping rate in the U.S.?

We’re not being kidnapped. We’re running away!

Speaking of Jan, I wonder what she’s up to these days? I’d rather see her offered this seat than another McCain.

Not in Arizona, but there's a choice I wouldn't mind seeing. Maybe better than John Kyl who was mentioned in the article.

God bless you and your son. I can’t imagine what you are going through.

Somehow, the things that Freepers usually argue about don’t seem very important now.

RE: how McCaskill got her seat

Unfortunately, no. You mean Jean Carnahan. McCaskill defeated Jim Talent on a razor thin margin of dead people votes.

No. Recalls are not possible for federal offices.

I’m so sorry about your son. I’ve seen your posts here for awhile. Prayers for him and all the family.

And I’m sure you’re right. McCain probably hasn’t been making his own “statements’ for awhile now, and I would imagine most of them have already been coming from his wife.

My wife has Stage 3 kidney cancer. Even that seems like no big deal now.

It certainly does change a persons perspective on a lot of things.

This sounds like royalty.

We do not have “royals” in the US.

Did George Washington’s descendants all get subsequent presidencies?

FUJM! Your tumor is a better citizen than you ever were.

Thomas Jefferson and John Adams died on the 4th of July. McCain doesn’t belong in that distinguished group.

Everyone needs to call/email Ducey, warning him to NOT offerthr seat to any McCain. Otherwise his job as governor is going to be in serious jeopardy this fall. Arizona loves President Trump, and the scumbag McCains are bitterly anti-Trump.

Former Governor Jan Brewer would be a perfect choice, she was a reliably conservative governor for our state. Former Senator John Kyle would be another good choice, but I don’t think he would take the job if offered. Rep David Schweicher would be another good choice.

So now Senate seats are offered to family members.

What's also alarming is the number of people at all levels of government all the way down to the local levels, are related to each other. It's really wide spread and very disturbing from my perspective.

You are thinking of Jean Carnahan who served out the last year of her dead husband’s term.

She did some Kung Fu fighting, there?

I don’t believe it. I could see her agreeing with authorities to turn if she was in a pedo ring, though.

“How the hell is she even qualified to BE a senator? Other than her husband was one?”

Hillary Clinton was a Senator and was going to be POTUS, just because she was married the the Rapist in Chief.

And they weren’t even happily married!

Hopefully he will hang on by a thread until the 5th/6th, just to screw up his plans.
