I don’t diagree that another POTUS candidate would have been better. But none that tried could cut the mustard and convience the voting Republicans that they deserved the nomination over McCain. Thus the Republicans are stuck with him for this election. We had a lack luster field this time around not that some weren’t good people but they weren’t POTUS material in the eyes of the voters.
Actually, we had a decent field. Better than usual. Compare to 2000.
Keyes still the same bombastic fool.
McCain still the same backstabbing RINO.
