I think the committee could justify her inclusion as a political and military matriarch.As well as John her husband was highly notable as his her granddaughter Megan.If Cindy goes for John's senate seat and wins themccain name will be further established.Rose Kennedy and Elizabeth Edwards were on the list in the past so there is a precedent. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cant Wait 93 Posted January 18, 2020 To be honest, this thread doesn’t need to exist. It’s a complete waste of time! I really hope this thread merges with an actually useful topic instead of just sitting here! Acting like it’s something we needed on the forum. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
