Right you are. Remember how they loved McCain the War Hero?
After he became the GOP Nominee, Liberals ridiculed him because he doesn’t send Emails. Not because he didn’t want to, because his severe Shoulder Injuries prevent him from typing on a Keyboard.
Once a Republican becomes the Nominee, he instantly becomes Evil Incarnate. Even Ben Carson would have gotten that treatment.
More because he was "The Maverick" TM. They loved him when he was trashing other Republicans. He was stupid enough to believe they loved him.
Once he became the Republican candidate, they treated him like yesterday's garbage.
