Quiet jockeying for McCain seat angers Republicans
By Reid Wilson - 12/28/17 03:11 PM EST

PHOENIX — Ambitious Republicans anxious for a shot at a U.S. Senate seat have begun quietly jockeying to be appointed as the successor to Sen. John McCain (R), even as he battles an aggressive form of brain cancer.

The lobbying campaigns, described to The Hill by half a dozen GOP strategists and aides, have angered many Republicans, who see any public chatter as disrespectful to a senator who has helped shape modern Arizona.

Chief among those upset is the man who would make an appointment, Gov. Doug Ducey (R), who issued a brushback pitch during a radio appearance last week.

Oh please.....

He's been quietly making his own list and everyone knows it.  This feigned outrage just shows the three mentioned weren't on it, anyway.

Yep, nobody should be fooled by the shammy pearl clutching.

Screw McCain. He soiled his seat and his integrity long ago. I could care less if the vultures are already picking over the carcass earlier than he desired, McCain is one of the most opportunistic vultures I know. Karma sucks.

McLame should have resigned already. He is the sole reason that this has to turn into a mess.

Any concessions that were made to get Corker's vote on the Tax Law are McCain's fault.

   Arizona has a unique opportunity here and with McCain runnin their GOP all these years, soon departed, they will step up this time.  America can stop sending them Vaseline.
