>> cannot handle failing so miserably where Trump succeeded.

I’m not so sure about that part. In 2008, it looked to me like he deliberately sabotaged his own campaign and was TRYING to lose. So while he probably does resent Trump for being President, an office he could never hold, it looks like McLame chose to fail. Either the bribes or the blackmail were irresistible. Or both.

That's why I say he's an incredibly sick man. This is to the point that he's a danger that he acts out on his anger and inner demons. Does McCain even know he is the main reason for his failure? Perhaps part of the problem is that he now realizes he only has himself to blame, now that Trump has succeeded where he failed.

This whole thing is weirder than any Shakespearean drama about politics and intrigue.
