McCain (R-AZ) says "I can see us going Democrat"

Is she setting herself up to run for some office? This article does not sound like someone who really intends to "stay out of politics".

Cindy McCain says GOP is 'not the party that my husband and I belonged to'

Cindy McCain, widow of the late Sen. John McCain, distanced herself from the Republican Party during the taping of a podcast that was released Wednesday.

"If you're not walking the line, then you're out. That's just not right. That's not the party that my husband and I belonged to."

McCain said she believes Arizona, a historically Republican state, could go the other way in the 2020 election.

"I can see us going Democrat, I really can," she said.
But McCain said she's staying out of politics for the time being.

Sorry but that misuse of the proper noun always sounds like fingernails on a chalkboard to me.

The only problem are that rats are sweet, sensitive animals who don't mean anyone any harm. (See this article about how rats will forego chocolate to save a fellow rat from drowning.)

The Republicans are more like cockroaches.
