    Loving treatment from his friends on the left

    In his 1992 Senate bid, McCain was joined on the campaign trail by his wife, Cindy, as well as campaign aide Doug Cole and consultant Wes Gullett. At one point, Cindy playfully twirled McCain’s hair and said, “You’re getting a little thin up there.” McCain’s face reddened, and he responded, “At least I don’t plaster on the makeup like a trollop, you cunt.”

    Yet McCain, in spite of his fairly unoriginal path to advancement (is there a quicker way for a Republican to get the attention of the media than to denounce his own party?), did manage to stumble into a formula that for one brief shining moment looked like it might work for him and for the GOP in 2008. That moment was when he picked Sarah Palin to be his running mate—and before she became an object of ridicule. That she became an object of ridicule was partly her fault. But voters saw how McCain responded first to the praise she received (he appeared to resent it) and then to the merciless attack on Palin. That attack happened because she was effective at the convention and it put the fear of God into the Democrats. That McCain would not try to get in sync with her on message and would not defend her, manfully, when she was attacked hurt him. People saw then what kind of a guy he is. And now, shamefully, he is using his final days to remind us.

    It must gnaw at McCain’s deepest longings to see how Trump used exactly the strategy that many people then urged him to adopt to build support among working class voters in the Midwest. Trump proved actually to be a maverick, not just to play one on TV.

    Not a Palin fan at all but that's a weak move on the part of the McCain family.

    McCain's campaign was dead in the water prior to his selection of Palin.

    I'm still bitter that McGovern got crucified for Eagleton. A little crazy in a VP is a good thing. Palin had nothing to do with my decision. It was time for Obama and I agree there was no one on the GOP side

    I don't even remember who ran in the primaries

    Speaking of McGovern (every bit the 'war hero' as McCain ever was)....did the country lose it's shit over his death? Flags flying at half staff, lying in state at the Capitol, round-the-clock coverage/breaking news?

    Honest to god, I haven't seen this level of attention to anybody dying since Bobby Kennedy was shot (Race was there). Multiple Presidents have died since then and they didn't get shit in comparison.

    He was making snide comments about trump and trump said mean things about him so the leftists love him now. There's not much more to it then that.

    If hillary would have won we wouldnt be hearing shit.


    Trump IS the news so only things involving him get airtime.

    Correctomundo.

    When George HW Bush finally kicks, my bet is he'll get roughly 20% of the coverage McCain dying is getting. Maybe less.

    Wait. You said he was ahead in the polls right after he selected Palin until she opened her mouth. So which is it?

    Huh

    The point stands. Trump is the news.

    So the only reason he is getting coverage is because of his little back and forth with trump. No one would care otherwise.

    McCain didn't want the current President there and invited W and Obama. Probably the Clintons too. Yet urging people to stick together as Americans. Turned on the TV and saw Biden giving a speech. What a bunch of clowns.

    Why do you think McCain hated the Tea Party so much? Because he was an establishment hack. McCain had a large role in getting the IRS to harass and go after the Tea Party. That has nothing to do with Trump.

    Long before Trump, McCain was the to go to Republican voice the MSM could always count on in order to trash Conservatives.

    Everybody hated the Tea Party and they were as bought and paid for any other Caucus out there. And link please.
    It wasn't just Obama, McCain also had a role in using the IRS to harass his political opponents

    And now you know why no one ever went to jail over this and why there was never really much interest investigating it, especially on the part of the Senate.

    So you're a liar and not very smart. I never said anything about her opening her mouth as the reason why McCain dropped in the polls and yes, the only brief period of time that McCain ever led Obama in the polls was after he selected Palin. You still confused dumbfuck?

    In his 1992 Senate bid, McCain was joined on the campaign trail by his wife, Cindy, as well as campaign aide Doug Cole and consultant Wes Gullett. At one point, Cindy playfully twirled McCain’s hair and said, “You’re getting a little thin up there.” McCain’s face reddened, and he responded, “At least I don’t plaster on the makeup like a trollop, you cunt.”

    Yet McCain, in spite of his fairly unoriginal path to advancement (is there a quicker way for a Republican to get the attention of the media than to denounce his own party?), did manage to stumble into a formula that for one brief shining moment looked like it might work for him and for the GOP in 2008. That moment was when he picked Sarah Palin to be his running mate—and before she became an object of ridicule. That she became an object of ridicule was partly her fault. But voters saw how McCain responded first to the praise she received (he appeared to resent it) and then to the merciless attack on Palin. That attack happened because she was effective at the convention and it put the fear of God into the Democrats. That McCain would not try to get in sync with her on message and would not defend her, manfully, when she was attacked hurt him. People saw then what kind of a guy he is. And now, shamefully, he is using his final days to remind us.

    It must gnaw at McCain’s deepest longings to see how Trump used exactly the strategy that many people then urged him to adopt to build support among working class voters in the Midwest. Trump proved actually to be a maverick, not just to play one on TV.

    McCain's campaign was dead in the water prior to his selection of Palin.
    Wait. You said he was ahead in the polls right after he selected Palin until she opened her mouth. So which is it?
    Wow, you're really not very bright and not very honest are you.
    This your quote?

    "She didn't cost him the election. The only time he ever led in the polls was after he selected Palin."
    So you're a liar and not very smart. I never said anything about her opening her mouth as the reason why McCain dropped in the polls and yes, the only brief period of time that McCain ever led Obama in the polls was after he selected Palin. You still confused dumbfuck?

    Polls are all rigged. Except for when they agree with me. But other than that, they’re bullshit. Hope this helps, new fish.

    She didn't cost him the election. The only time he ever led in the polls was after he selected Palin. What cost him the election was his response to the financial crisis and his unwillingness to really take it to Obama. 2008 was going to be a tough year for a Republican to win anyway but Palin wasn't the reason he lost.


    Btw, Palin was another person who was accused of being a racist by the Rat Party.


    Don't know when he picked her but it sure looks like it got close there in June then poof

    Why else would the polls have dropped? People liked the idea of Palin until she starting saying stupid shit.
