McCain and Obama? Snort.

[MinorityRepublican]

McCain and Romney were wonderful designated losers by the Republican Party.

[Skul]

McCain and Romney LOST to BO for a price. They can rot in hell.

“He didn’t demonize his political opponents.”

Well, yeah, he did all the time, just like the Clean Magic Negro does all the time.

Exactly.

Barack Obama contrasts John McCain with Trump at Arizona rally

Of course he does - John McCain ran one of the worst presidential campaigns in modern history. He suspended his campaign activities when the financial crisis hit, while Obama campaigned on. He rolled over for Obama like his favorite pet dog, and practically begged to be defeated, which he was. Trump doesn't do stuff like that, and Democrats just hate it when Republicans fight back.

I bet he pronounced it TUK-sun.

Well said.

[Fungi]

“speaking to several thousand Arizonans.” Hogwash. Show us the pictures.

[No name given]

I’d say it’s more like 400, at most. And all lefties.

He suspended his campaign activities when the financial crisis hit, while Obama campaigned on.

There was no reason for him to stop his campaign. He could have gone to D.C. in the morning, make a speech on the financial crisis, vote on the bill if necessary and then campaign at night.

[Kid Shelleen]

McCain was the Washington Generals. Trump is the Harlem Globe Trotters.

[katykelly]

Exactly . Where are the pictures ?

[TornadoAlley3]

Donald Trump is on the ballot

[dynoman]

While he and his ilk demonize Trump.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Where is a glioblastoma when you need one?

[FlingWingFlyer]

John McCain don’t need a Kenyan boy to exploit him against the GOP. FU Barry, you pig.

[FlingWingFlyer]

I doubt McCain was your friend, azho.

But if you recall, the Democrats voted down the first rescue bill, so it made no sense on two levels. Obama was a sitting Senator, but he felt he could stay out on the trail and take no heat for it. McCain’s advisors convinced him to take the magnanimous “even though it hurts my campaign I will demonstrate leadership and shepherd this rescue bill through Congress”. Except he didn’t. Something was ultimately passed, but by that time the image of McCain being ineffective in driving legislation was cemented. McCain was toast on 9/15/2008 when he gave the “The fundamentals of the American economy are strong,,,” speech. While he was delivering that gem, he was in split screen with a plot of the Dow doing a swan dive, in real time. No wonder Obama look back on him with fondness. Classic GOP loser.
