If McCain was to come unglued in the General election, the GOP would be left with no candidate and in the eyes of the public they would have been guilty of running a person with emotional issues for the highest office in the land.
Do you think that would be a wise thing for the GOP to do? Trust me, they don't.
“Well fortunately the cooler political heads at the top of the GOP will do what needs to be done before that will happen.”
Again you have implied that McCain won’t win the nomination (in fact you’ve all but guaranteed it) but McCain is in fact in a position to make a competitive run at it. Cooler heads at the top of the GOP are all well and good except of course the people get to vote. You keep alluding to some secret knowledge that you have, but in real life, if McCain wins SC and continues to gain momentum he’ll be a contender. I have a hard time believing McCain would drop out of a race that it looks like he could win just because some higher ups in the GOP told him he had to. McCain has in the past had no problem at all bucking the GOP.
