I didn't like McCain's approach to foreign policy much, but he seemed like a pretty decent guy to me.

McCain was the politician (and conservative) we needed (and still need) more of. Decent, steadfast, principled, but knew the value of compromise for the sake of the country.

Spoken like a true Romney Rat.

In hindsight though he had Putin pegged and I doubt that the latter would have annexed Crimea, started a civil war in the Donbas or gave direct military assistance to the Assad regime had McCain won the 2008 and 2012 elections. Putin would have learned early on that McCain was not one to offer meaningless foreign policy resets or draw imaginary lines the sand.

I actually think McCain could have beat Obama in 2008 if he hadn’t been saddled with that lightweight bimbo, Sarah Palin as a running mate.

I doubt it.

The MSM had already annointed his opposition.

[Doctor Phibes]

I must admit I thought at the time that the Palin choice was a huge blunder.

I don’t and if my memory serves me well, nor did you in 2008.

That's twelve years ago. I've slept since then.

2022 - After kissing the shoes of President Trump

We don't have any McCain Republicans in here, do we?" eliciting boos from her supporters.

"Okay, if you [are], get the hell out," she added with a laugh.

Elsewhere at the event, Lake again noted that the Republican party was "the party of McCain," sneering her face before saying, "I know. Boy, Arizona has delivered some losers, haven't they?

Am thinking that today Lake might be regretting rubbishing McCain’s memory and legacy to garner favour with the Trump crowd.

[Mik]

Could well be. he was pretty popular.

[89th]

Laughably, looks like Lake lost.

People change their mind, and they change their roles. In 2018 she was a newscaster. She was paid to make statements other people wrote.

How do you know she’s not paid to make statements other people write now?
