Democrats React To Martha McSally's Appointment To U.S. Senate

Matt Vespa | December 18, 2018

 

Well, it looks like Martha McSally will be a U.S. Senator after all. Despite reports that McSally’s stock was falling among Arizona Republicans, Gov. Doug Ducey decided to appoint her to fill the remainder of the late Sen. John McCain’s term. She will be serving with her 2018 opponent Senator-elect Kyrsten Sinema (via AZ Governor’s Office):..........To Read More.....

 

My Take - The real story?  The McCain's were opposed to her being appointed, as if the seat belonged to the McCain family and it was their right to have a say in who got the appointment.   When the son in law, Ben Domenech,  shot off his mouth over this I sort of expected him to make the choice he did.  Ben Domonech, has some issues with credibility by the way. 

 

It was the thinking among some that when McCain was dying and wouldn't resign it was because he was trying to get the Gov. to appoint his wife to fulfill his term.  Gov. Ducey didn't, and as a conservative, it's was assumed his attitude was "that's just what the nation needs, another McCain in the Senate for two more years."

 

Well, Gov. Doug Ducey told the McCain family to take their views and shove em and appointed a conservative.  Now, I think that's the real story.  I think that's the end of the McCain's in Arizona politics, and hopefully his daughter Meghan will go home also.  She only appears to be a conservative because she's on the View and the rest are so far left she almost appears sane.  What I wonder at - who watches that show?

Sweet revenge on the McCains: Martha McSally to take the old man's Senate seat

Martha McSally was not a perfect Republican candidate for Senate, and her inability to win an election against an utterly revolting and gaffe-prone leftist such as Kyrsten Sinema in a place like Arizona (which, at least on paper, doesn't permit ballot harvesting) doesn't speak all that well for her.
But the choice of McSally to fill the unfinished Senate term of Sen. John McCain by Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey was sweet news indeed.

That's because the loud opposition to her from the McCain family was so very bad, and this appointment stands as a rebuke to them.  Better still, now that McSally's got the job over their objections, she owes them nothing. Here was theWashington Examiner story four days ago:

Meghan McCain's husband said that Rep. Martha McSally, R-Ariz., would be an "unwise choice" for Arizona senator.  "McSally strikes me as an unwise choice for a number of reasons," Ben Domenech tweeted."She's like an NFL team that plays down to its opponents' level – and she'll be tasked with running for re-election immediately."

He made a tweet, and his wife, McCain's daughter Meghan, retweeted it. Then McSally went to try to make nice with the dragon-lady matron of the bunch, Cindy McCain, but things didn't seem to get any better, though officially they say so, minus their endorsement, of course.

The whole thing was over something embarrassingly small and petty, too: McSally's "crime" in their eyes was that she didn't bring McCain's name up in a speech on some defense authorization bill.

Whoa! That was enough to turn this touchy bunch entirely against the woman, who had actually been a friend of McCain's, and then they got loud about it...

The McCains overreached. They overplayed their hand. They horned in where they had no business.  And they got smacked down.................Read more

John McCain's family turns on Martha McSally

Meghan McCain’s husband said that Rep. Martha McSally, R-Ariz., would be an “unwise choice” for Arizona senator. “McSally strikes me as an unwise choice for a number of reasons,” Ben Domenech tweeted. “She's like an NFL team that plays down to its opponents' level - and she'll be tasked with running for re-election immediately.” ...............If the McCain family is against a McSally appointment, it could doom her chances of being given the interim position.......To Read More....

My Take - Apparently McSally attempted to make some sort of amends for .....well...... who knows with the McCains, since I think they're all strange, including Meghan, who is in my opinion nothing but a mock conservative, just like her dad, just about as bright.   

What I can't help but wonder is why anyone cares what the McCain family thinks.  But, then again, this is Arizona, the state that kept electing McCain, who was a nasty vindictive man right to the end.  A man who over and over again betrayed every conservative principle and so many fellow Republicans.   How much longer will the McCain disgrace continue to infest the Arizona?  So, I guess the real question everyone should be asking is this:  What's wrong with the people of Arizona?
