John McCain says Hillary Clinton would win the White House if the 2016 election were held today
Mail Online ^ | 21 February 2014 | David Martosko

Self-described 'Maverick' Senator John McCain is making waves with his defeatist statements about how formidable Hillary Rodham Clinton will be as a presidential candidate, predicting that she would win if the 2016 election were held in 2014.

'I would bet, my friend, as much as I hate to admit it,' McCain told Piers Morgan during his Thursday night CNN broadcast, 'that right now – this is why we have campaigns – but right now, if the election were tomorrow, Hillary Clinton would most likely be the president of the United States.'

The Arizona pol and 2008 Republican presidential nominee was responding to comments from Minnesota Republican Rep. Michele Bachmann, who told a columnist that Americans weren't ready for a female president – at least not as much as they were eager to elect an African-American.

“We have nothing to fear with Hillary as President.”

Given the characteristics of touch screen voting I suspect any Democrat would win the election were it held today or any other day.

She’s just so unattractive in every way.

Oh no-—McCain’s endorsing another Democrat?

Who knew he was Obama’s 2008 opponent-—McCain acted more like O’s campaign manager.

i agree 100%, and that's why the right won't vote for her... but those are all resume enhancers for the RATS!!! that and what RAT will dare bring up any of the real dirt against her in the primary??? and remember, she has REAL DIRT ON ALL OF THEM!!!

RATS/welfareRATS/unionRATS prolly make up at least 50% of the vote, and that will be hard to overcome, specially if even 10% of Republicans stay home like last time

1. RATS don't care about Benghazi

2. RATS don't care

3. RATS still want free stuff

4. RATS don't care

5. RATS will still vote for her

6. RATS will still vote for her

7. RATS don't care

8. RATS still LOVE SlickWillie

as long as the RATS hate us and America more than they like her and she wins the primary, she's in, they won't stay home

i pray that i am wrong, cause if i'm not, it's truly over for America and CWII will be the final option and then God help us...

KRAUTHAMMER: "ANTAGONIZING CANADA IS SOS HILLARY'S SOLE ACHIEVEMENT"

EXCERPT Hillary Clinton is undoubtedly the Democratic frontrunner, a point Charles Krauthammer conceded on the Hugh Hewitt show Tuesday, but if any Democrat wants to challenge her, he thinks the place to start would be with her abysmal record as secretary of state.

“When people talk about Hillary being a superb secretary of State, I just ask one question,” Krauthammer replied. “Name me one thing, just one, not three, give me one thing she achieved in her four years as secretary of state. I have yet to hear an answer.”

“I do think it’s really awful that you can have a four year term, achieve nothing, and as you say, go backwards with Russia, backwards on Iran, backwards on Syria, backwards on Venezuela, backwards in relation with just about all of our allies, including, I would add, Keystone, which sits on the President’s head, and antagonizing Canada, for God’s sake. Canada, of all people, that’s quite an achievement when you can antagonize Canada.

That’s not easy to do. And to get them upset, which is never happened in about 100 years, I mean, this is foreign policy of failure. And the only reason people haven’t focused on it is because there’s been so much failure at home that it’s overshadowed what’s happening abroad.” Read the full story at TownHall.com

19th Amendment has destroyed this country...establishment of the Federal Reserve a close second.

Those are certainly excellent points, but the FACT is that women will vote for Hillary just because she is a woman that supports their ‘right to choose’. Girls on college campi will turn out in overwhelming numbers.

I would be surprised if she is still with us in 2017, let alone 2021.

She's aging rapidly. You can see that in the pics she took with Bubba at a recent winter event (I forget the occasion). We all age, but some seem to burn out an accelerated rate.

I don't think there's enough life left in her to run in 2017.

I am absolutely certain McCain would cast his vote for Hillary over a conservative candidate.

This coming from the hard campaigning man who said Obama would be a great president.

That was it. Hillary looked like a painted corpse at that event.

Someone posted a link upthread to an identical statement McCain made about Hillary in 2005.

Will someone please put Uncle Crazy back in the attic?

Don't doubt it one bit. The evil old troll is an enemy within.
