Nice story by Vox.
1. Appointment by the Republican Governor Doug Ducey who says it won't be him.
2. Has to be a Republican according to Arizona law.
3. Serves until the 2020 election.
4. Whoever wins in 2020 serves until 2022 to finish out McCain's term.

My bet is that it will be a woman that is currently running for Sen. Flake's seat. Either Rep. McSally or Dr. Kelli Ward. A possibility would be to have ex-Senator Kyl take the seat over.

What's your guess?

I take it you'll be pulling for Kelli Ward & another Teatard train wreck in Congress... I doubt Ducey would go for it.

Wow, great guess. Here's your liberal participation trophy. It will go along with this added vote to confirm Kavanaugh.

some fucking loon.

Next time read the damn story, it has to be a Republican! It can't be a Democrat or a Socialist.

[zinfamous]

Is Alan Keyes still around, looking for another state to claim residence?

 

[Hayabusa Rider]

I expect that whoever it is will make obeisance to Trump. McCain wouldn't and he was hated for it.

You mean this Kelli Ward?

Arizona Senate candidate Kelli Ward suggests John McCain statement on ending treatment timed to hurt her campaign

Kelli Ward suggested Saturday that the statement issued Friday by U.S. Sen. John McCain's family about ending treatment for brain cancer was intended to hurt her U.S. Senate campaign.

McCain died Saturday hours after her remarks.

Ward, a conservative former state senator from Lake Havasu City, is in a three-way race for the Republican U.S. Senate nomination in Tuesday's Arizona primary.

Ward wrote on Facebook that "I think they wanted to have a particular narrative that they hope is negative to me."

Her comment was made under a Facebook post by one of her campaign staffers, who questioned if it was "just a coincidence" that the McCain family released the statement the same day that Ward was kicking off her campaign bus tour, "or if it was a plan to take media attention off her campaign?"

I thought about this the moment I read that John had passed. Seems a perfect time for a Dem to take a shot at it unless of course the McCain family endorses a Repub to fill in for him.

They'll find some pro-Putin/Trump sock puppet who will take orders, one that feels that Kavanaugh is somehow a good choice for the USSC. That's the only thing banana republicans care about right now.

They might fill his seat, but they'll never fill his shoes.

Nazi, Racist, Pedo or all of the above.

Lol.

Lots of nice examples of political ignorance. Be proud lefties, be proud.

Point them out, grenade boy, or just shut your trolling up.

Sure, which one of the lefties answered the question posed in the OP? Zero, including yourself.

You're welcome.

So, smarmy boy, when I asked about Ward, that wasn't germaine to the conversation? And what question was asked that was given a politically ignorant answer, grenade boy? Would not Kelli Ward be under consideration to assuming McCain's vacant seat? She ran against him in 2016, so she is definitely someone with standing in all this, although she's currently in the running for the seat being vacated by Flake not seeking re-election.

Seems she'd be a perfect Trumpian pick....disparaged McCain over and over, just like Trump. Has no morals nor scruples, just like you and Trump. Perfect fit.

So, again, you've succeeded in providing a non-answer to a question.....again. Troll.

It doesn't matter. Kavanaugh, Gorsich, and all the other officials/ judges appointed will be removed to cleanse the country from the illegitimate election.

You are not allowed to use the word ignorance in a sentence. Ever. Now STFU and get busy electing a little boy fiddler, racist, or both...

This is the ONLY election you pussies will win without a blue wave crashing down all around you, ones where Dems aren't included. Get used to losing loser...

Not at all. The election results are legit. There was no fraud in the counting. It is not illegal to con the voters.

Then the country is an even bigger cuck than we thought.

Yep, and some people seem confused. The gov MUST pick a replacement of the same party. There's no alternative.

 

[Jhhnn]

Wait! I have it! Sheriff Joe! Or maybe a member of the Bundy clan.

Probably not. The Arizona GOP is in deep doo-doo. On one side is their Trumpian base & on the other an increasingly liberal electorate. Flake bowed out not because he couldn't win the State but because he couldn't win the Primary.

If Ducey appoints somebody far right or w/o the proper gravitas it could hurt his own chances. OTOH, he can't alienate the base, either. He may be able to hold off until after the election for all I know, probably his best bet.

 

[K1052]

Saw someone on Twitter suggest appointing Flake to McCain's seat and McSally to Flake's. Seems like solid strategy to lock out the nuts like Ward and Arpaio.
