NY Times:

Arizona Governor Faces a Tough Choice: A Senator Made From McCain’s Mold or Trump’s

The vacant Senate seat of the late John McCain has exposed the rift between his followers and the party’s Trumpian base.
The replacement does not have to be one or the other.  McCain was too inconsistent on immigration and too misleading on Obamacare.   In both cases, he would talk conservative at election time and then be just as likely to screw the voters after the election by going the other way.  On these two important issues, Trump has been much more honest and willing to do what he campaigned on. 

We should also not forget that when McCain was running against Obama, the media and the left hated him and treated him with disdain.  Why should we listen to them now about his replacement?

The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t
