John McCain says Hillary Clinton would win the White House if the 2016 election were held today

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.

“predicting that she would win if the 2016 election were held in 2014.”

He’s probably not wrong on that. Fortunately, the election isn’t in 2014, but 2016. Plenty of time to get ducks in a row, and all that.

She's too damn old right now to go through a grueling campaign.

Yes she is, and she's also got too much baggage from decades in the national spotlight, and the Benghazi massacre hanging around her neck.

A lot of libs and Freepers are going to be hugely saddened when she finally tells the press that she wants to be a full time grandma.

McCain has proved to be, notoriously, difficult to put back in the cage....I think it’s time for a shock collar - (or call up that kid from Old Yeller)

[Windflier]

If the election were held today, Mitt Romney probably would be President.

I don't even want to think about that. It hurts my head.

Hillary can’t draw 140% of the black vote all by herself

Normalcy Bias?

IOW, I'm a grateful product of several millennia of progress in Western Civilization - Graeco-Roman, Judeo-Christian, Anglo Saxon Traditions, brought here by our forebears and nourished during two and a quarter centuries of American Freedom and Ascendency?

Guilty as charged, and damned proud of it! In fact, I revel in it!!

America demands Justice for the Fallen of Benghazi!

O stranger, tell the Lacedaemonians that we lie here, obedient to their command.

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

[Windflier]

And McCain would vote for her too.

I'll bet he voted for Obama....twice.

[Windflier]

I would bet beaucoup bucks he even voted for Obama. Yes, I do mean the first time.

I was just saying that I believe he voted for Obama both times.

[Windflier]

No, just good friends. Hillary would come down to their condo in Sedona for weekends with the McCain family.

Well, isn't that special...

[onyx]

Right.
All those years of her heavy boozing and I do mean heavy boozing have taken a toll on her.
LOOK at her! She's not in good shape or in good health, despite the tons of money she's made and could easily spend on herself.

How does the sound manage to escape mclames @** with his head stuck so far it?

[Windflier]

I think the idiot McLame is angling to be Hillary’s running mate with words like that.

I think the senile old bastard just says whatever comes to his mind.

Both he and Hillary have been on the national stage for waaaaaay too long. If the American people could vote to retire them, they'd be sitting on a porch tomorrow.

[Windflier]

It may take decades, but eventually your true colors will surface.

There are some who claim his true colors surfaced 40 years ago.

[Windflier]

He pimped for hussein with his “we don’t have to be afraid” speech and he’s already pimping for hillary.

Someone needs to put Uncle Crazy back in the attic.

[38special]

He’s right. Women voters.

[SERKIT]

In his last debate, which was a de facto concession speech, McLame admonished us not to he ‘skeered’ of an Obama presidency. Is he doing the same thing by endorsing the Benghazi Windbag? What difference, at this point, does it make other than once again proving McLame needs to retire?

I don't know what it's going to take to get his attention. The Arizona Republican Party already censured the old coot. Apparently, it didn't even faze him.

“Will no one rid me of this meddlesome....”

[castlegreyskull]

I don’t think Hillary will get 30% of her own party during the primaries, let alone win the National Election.

Off yer meds huh?..
