OK, so now that Sinema is the new Senator, and Doucy won re-election...

What's Arizona gonna do about Kyl?

Is he going to step aside. like he said he might do, and let the Guv appoint McSally? Is he going to ride it out until 2020 and let a bloody primary decide?

Maybe he'll just try to stay in the Senate?

I suspect he'll step aside and make room for McSally, or whoever the Guv has in mind, but who knows...

to fulfill the term.

I gather that being dead doesn't matter in Arizona.

Because she is certain to win the GOP primary if she's the incumbent, then the general election is 2018 redux except with two more years of anti-Trump backlash.

Kyl stepping down in January, just like he said, and McSally getting appointed to the job.

Problems solved on their side, so of course she's all sweet and flowery-- the fix is in and she gets a good job without another fight.

And our side is screwed with a primary in a Presidential year. Especially that presidential year.
