Democrats REALLY Want McCain’s Seat To Stay In The Family

I live in Arizona.

A while back, the rumor mill spit out the idea that Governor Ducey would appoint Cindy McCain as John McCain’s replacement.

People FLIPPED THEIR LIDS.

Seriously… that is NOT a popular idea around here.

I later heard that Ducey was made aware of the OUTRAGE the very thought of it caused… And backed off the idea entirely. After all, he’s up for re-election. (His opponent, may I add, is a fully “open borders” NUTJOB.)

Anyway, with McCain’s passing, everyone wants to know who he’s going to appoint… the Dems have made THEIR choice abundantly clear:

As Senator McCain desired, Governor Ducey should appoint Cindy McCain to finish serving his term.

Cindy is best able to honor the kind of service McCain provided Arizona and the country.

Andy Slavitt describes himself as “Obamacare heath care guy/ACA turnaround/fixer” …soooo there’s that.

Could Cindy McCain replace her late husband in the Senate?

“It would follow a long tradition of wives being named to their husband’s seats after their husband has died,” says @tamarakeithNPR, pointing out that, historically, that’s one way women have gotten into Congress. pic.twitter.com/lTtxlVGYkh

…FFS.

Listen up, Gov. You wanna get re-elected? Here’s what people have to say about THAT:

Boy, they are out in force, pushing this. It is not the McCains’ seat, and as someone should be appointed that has already won some votes in Arizona. https://t.co/7P4Qn8qJ8b

GP This guy’s bio says he’s a Democrat and worked on Obamacare. Why any Republican would listen to him (or McCain) is beyond me.

Based on what Cindy had to say at the memorial services today… I’m not surprised.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Why is it that Democrats are so eager to see her get the seat? Gee, a bet because she’d be a strong conservative supporter of the president. https://t.co/w83M61zOGE

…..riiiiight.

Senatorial seats now a family heirloom, pretty sure we fought a war over shit like this a few years back in the 1700’s. We need #TermLimits now. https://t.co/2LNryTeNLa

The position is not Senator McCain’s to give.
The purpose of the appointment is not to make a dead man happy.
The office should go to the person who can best represent the interests of the people of Arizona in the Senate.
That’s NOT Cindy McCain. https://t.co/lDaczSvGrl

Not. Even. Close.

Let’s dispense with the inherited nobility please https://t.co/MMXgvSfEdi

No. This is not medieval Europe where people inherit their family members seats of power. https://t.co/1Wd5rKV9yr

Absolutely not. Seats in the US Congress are not trinkets to be handed down to your descendants when you die. https://t.co/5ZhbeKjpCB

Funny that when it comes to Trump liberals “ARE FIGHTING FOR DEMOCRACY OMG.”

But when it comes to appointing a Senator for Arizona “DUCEY SHOULD RESPECT MCCAIN’S WISHES AND LET HIS FAMILY INHERIT HIS SEAT OMG.”

…You heard it, Governor. It would be a really, REALLY bad move on your end.
