[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Whether McCain knew it or not, he had a big part to play in the rise of Trump. It was ushered by the rise of Sarah Palin.[/quote]

No.  The Dems gave us Donald Trump.  Some pundit commented on twitter today that McCain was smeared by the media (who had liked him, but fell in love with Obama) and he took the high road.  Then, Romney was smeared by the media and didn't fight back (remember the expose in WAPO about how he was a "bully" in high school? Front page column) and, yet, he didn't fight back.  Obama's joke about the '80's calling for their foreign policy was soooo funny to the media--and, they, too, mocked Romney.  And, no matter what anyone says, it was odd when Romney challenged Obama's comments about Benghazi that Candy Crowley had a paper in hand to "prove" him wrong.

So, the media smears the GOP candidates no matter what.  And, so, the GOP figured they wanted someone who would fight back.

Also, on another note, John Lewis tweeted out a glowing comment on John McCain.  Funny, since he compared him to George Wallace during the 2008 campaign.[/quote]

You are ridiculous.  Sarah Palin is a direct reason we have Trump.  As a progressive black liberal, I have mixed feelings about McCain.  I tell you, when he told the woman that Obama was not an Arab, I kinda started to respect him again.  I do believe he made mistakes, but I fundamentally thought he was a decent person.  [/quote]
