Report: Cindy McCain Likely to Succeed Husband John McCain in Senate
[Breitbart] John Gizzi, Newsmax’s chief political correspondent, reports:

As Arizonans prepare for their final salute to Sen. John McCain, Republicans and political pundits in the state privately tell Newsmax they expect the appointment of his wife, Cindy, to succeed him in the Senate.
....

Those who did agree, almost unanimously, that Cindy McCain following John in the Senate through appointment by Republican Gov. Doug Ducey is a near-certainty.
Although I hate this kind of succession, Ms. McCain's bio at Wiki makes her out to be something of a Moderate with Republican leanings.

Hopefully, her (soon to be late) husband's animosity toward Mr. Trump will not be passed along as well.
If she is appointed, she will have to defend the seat in 2022. Helping campaign as a politician’s wife is not the same as campaigning as a politician oneself, as poor Hillary Clinton has so neatly demonstrated.

#1 More nepotism. Disgusting. Why don't we just declare that we have an aristocracy now and be done with it? Lords and ladies.

#2 Cindy recommended by Ivanka Trump in 2017 as ambassador at large against human trafficking. Cindy accepted that nomination but then John McCain was diagnosed with his terminal illness.

I believe there will be a significant change in regards to Trump.

#3 If the "constituents" in AZ want this, it's too bad for them and us. Nowadays two minutes of panic on Twitter can stop something like this, but we're probably not that lucky this time.

#4 Jean Carnahan, Debbie Dingell, Lisa "Murky" Murkowski. Ever notice how none of these nepo dynasty types are conservative in any way?

#12 One of the many reasons I voted for Trump was that he was NOT a Clinton or a Bush. It's the same with the frickin' Kennedys. Get 'em all outta here. We don't want a royal family in this country. We don't want hereditary titles or a nobility. Our Founding Fathers fought a war over that.

The portion of the country that pays the Kardashians lavishly just to exist thinks differently.

If Kris Jenner ran for governor in California she could probably win and she couldn't possibly be any worse than Gavin Newsom.
