Arizona Senate Candidate for Flake’s Seat Says It’s Time for John McCain to Step Down

[libertybele]

For once in his life as a U.S. Senator, he needs to do the right thing and step down. He knows that he is terminally ill and he will not recover. He may recover from his bout with pneumonia but he's not going to recover from his aggressive form of brain cancer.  Yes sad, but he needs to do the right thing. Incidentally, if you link to the article there is a brief poll - so far 100% of those taking the poll believe he should step down.


Arizona Senate Candidate for Flake’s Seat Says It’s Time for John McCain to Step Down

Former state Sen. Dr. Kelly Ward, a candidate to replace retiring Sen. Jeff Flake, says it is time for Sen. John McCain to step down from his seat.  In an interview over the weekend, MSNBC’s Kassie Hunt asked Ward whether she thought someone should be appointed to replace McCain.

“I think that anybody’s who’s not able to do their job should step aside and allow the process to continue in Washington, D.C., because there is such important work that has to be done,” Ward replied.

.........McCain left Washington in mid-December due to the side effects of chemotherapy and has not returned since.

He missed the December vote for Trump’s tax reform bill, which narrowly passed the Senate by a vote of 51 to 48.

With the loss of the seat formerly held by Attorney General Jeff Sessions in Alabama in December, the Republican majority now sits at 51 to 49.

McCain’s daughter Meghan told CNN over the weekend that her father is recovering from a rough patch that included a bout with pneumonia.......

She's right!

I think there needs to be some limit as to how long a sitting Senator or Congressman can vacate their seats before it is mandated that they relinquish their seat and an interim Senator or Congressman is appointed.

She first made this demand when McCain was first diagnosed with the Glioblastoma.  She also demanded the Governor appoint her to the  seat, and was answered by outrage of the voters.  IMO, she blew any chance of being elected to any Senate seat at that time.  It was a classless move.  All she will do now, in practical terms, will be to fracture the GOP and pave the way for Dem Sinema to win in November.

I agree, however, to enact some limit requires an Constitutional Amendment.  Do you really think an Amendment to limit how long a person can stay in Congress is going to pass 2/3 of both Houses?

Kelli Ward touts endorsement from fake-news site

It looked as if Arizona Senate candidate Kelli Ward had scored a big endorsement: On Oct. 28, she posted a link on her campaign website and blasted out a Facebook post, quoting extensively from a column in the Arizona Monitor.

**********************************

There was just one problem: Despite its reputable sounding name, the Arizona Monitor is not a real news site. It is an anonymous, pro-Ward blog that has referred to her primary opponent Martha McSally as “Shifty McSally,” frequently blasted Flake and, at the top of its home page, proclaims its mission as “Striking Fear into the Heart of the Establishment.” The site launched just a few weeks before publishing the endorsement, and its domain registration is hidden, masking the identity of its owner. On its Facebook page, it is classified as a news site, but scant other information is offered.
