Exactly, unfortunately. McCain is the worse candidate the GOP has ever chosen. He is worse than Bob Dole who was a good guy at least and did not stab Repubs in the back while in the Senate.
As much as like Bob Dole better than McCain, McCain could not be a worse candidate than Dole if he tried. Dole never came close to Clinton in the polls before, during and after the primaries. Considering all that Clinton had going for him in 1996, it’s amazing that Dole was able to win nineteen states and get 41% of the popular vote.
