1. HE can't get a security clearance so I don't think that's gonna happen

[jmowreader]

3. Didn't Shrub pull clearances from all Congresspeople not on the intel committees?

Lack of clearance shouldn't stop him from a Senate seat.

Lack of morals, scruples, compassion or basic human decency should, but then again look at the disaster in the White House.

9. Elected officials such as senators don't need to qualify for clearance.

By virtue of being elected to represent us, they are granted access. All they have to do is take an oath. Their staff however, have to get clearances.

7. Slim to none

8. ZERO. I've heard he promised that he'd pick Cindy to serve out McCain's term.

10. Zero.

He would probably pick either a temporary placeholder like McCain's wife or else somebody who can stand a chance of being reelected.

11. None whatsoever...

Ducey isn't a Trumper, and even if he was, it would make more sense to appoint Ward.

12. I think it will be Kelly Ward

The POS who said that McCain announced on Friday to ruin her campaign for Flake's seat

[Blue_true]

14. I am guessing the Congresswoman running against Ward.

Leaving the primary between Ward and Arpaio.

15. People outside AZ continue to think Arpaio is a serious candidate.

He was asked by the AZ Republican establishment --which Ducey is a member -- to run to split the conservative vote in the primary. He has and he is. The establishment wants McSally to win. Arpaio is helping that happen by drawing votes from the far right Ward. McSally will win Tuesday.
