Although, without a screwup like McCain, we'd not have had Obama. And without Obama, we'd not have Trump. We'd have Hillary, or some flavor of Hillary-lite, like Romney or Jeb.
Not that it particularly matters, but I think that it could be argued we'd be in a worse position now if McCain had been elected in 2008.
That's hard to believe, but with the advantage of some hindsight, I think its possible. We'll know better after the elections in 2018 and 2020.
Same with me. She was the only one who not only ran to win the election, but ran as a Republican.
