I’ll say it again: We’re lucky Obama won. McCain would have been a worse president. I think you have to be hopelessly partisan not to agree
Obama has done possibly irreparable harm to the country and the world, but McCain would have gotten us into a nuclear war. The choice in 2008 was between a self-declared Marxist and a totally scary Captain Queeg war monger. Either way we were screwed.
Not sure I agree but I’m not insistent either way. Eight or so years ago, McCain was significantly more cogent than he is now. He’d probably only have been a one termer and we would be deeply involved in at least 2 more wars. That *could* mean the HRC of four years ago would be president, so don’t think I do not get your point.
In the last couple of years he’s gone far, far around the bend. I think he’s only a couple years away from institutionalization, no more.
