If McCain-Palin had won, what would America have looked like today?

We all know that Arizona Sen. John McCain is a war hawk. He is a neoconservative. I admire his service to the U.S., but he loves a lot of war. I believe in war when necessary.

That being said, if McCain-Palin had beaten Obama-Biden in 2008, what would America have looked like today? Would they have won reelection? President Palin?

It didn’t happen, thank God. Not even worth considering.

Given that they would have lasted only one term and Hillary would have been president for the last four years, probably a damned sight worse.

President Trump would have run in 2016 and won just like he did.

Radioactive? Despise Obama, but am horrified to realize McCain would have been worse.

Given that JMC would have had a more seasoned NSC staff than Obambi, Arab Spring might never have happened. Qadafi, Mubarak et al. still in power. No Syria civil war, no ISIS, maybe a stable Iraq.

OTOH, McLame would have passed his McAmnesty , a RINO stimulus, and all kinds of other reach-across-the-aisle crap.

He likely would have alienated conservatives, caved to the MSM, lost House and Senate to Rats, and lost to H!tlery in 2012.

Palin isn’t showing any signs of political interest, imo.
I think she is happy with the grandchildren and their needs.

"I still think Sarah will be president."

As much as I respect Sarah Palin as a person with conservative values, she has been destroyed by the media and the establishment to the point she could not be a serious candidate again. She can still serve by communicating her values to the public.

At one time I thought Palin would be President. But she correctly discerned that is not her role. Her actions directly led to Trump being President, who is the person called, gifted, prepared, and equipped for this role. Our nation owes a debt of gratitude to Palin for her “preparing the way”.

McCain was one of the ones urging Obama to go in there. I heard Rand Paul say McCain has advocated sending troops into 16 different conflicts around the world. Nobody can say what would have happened, but I think it's safe to say we would be up to our necks as the globalist police force.

The US would be an irradiated zone. We dodged a different kind of bullet when he lost.

It’s a really, really tough decision. War on at least one front with the draft reinstated, or 0bama who nearly destroyed us from within?

We would still be asleep.

Obama was the greatest thing to happen to conservatives in years.
