I was one of the 32 -37% who still Supported “The W” at the end of his 2nd term.
The media that loves John McCain so dearly today, didn’t love him in 2008. They loved his opponent.
It’s my recollection that McCain spoke more highly of Barack Obama during the campaign than he did of the outgoing President Bush.
McCain basically threw Bush under the bus. He ran a negative campaign all right, against his own sitting President. McCain said bupkis bad about Barry O.
His treatment of the only positive in his 2008 run, Sarah Palin, was, to be kind, shabby.
McCain was the final NO vote, sinking Obamacare’s repeal.
At his passing, I had zero respect for that bitter old man.
Donald Trump dissed McCain in 2016. The media said that statement would kill Trump’s candidacy. They were wrong. Trump was elected.
That same media has now deified McCain, not because they like him, but because they hate Trump.
Once again they say Trump’s speaking “ill of the dead” will sink him. I think not.
