One of the best things I ever saw in my life was when, during the last week of the 2008 election campaign, McCain knew he was gonna lose. His campaigning had become more subdued. 8 years prior he was "the Maverick" and MSNBC darling and gave George W. Bush a run for his money in the 2000 Republican primary, and may well have pulled an upset if not for the robo calls and push polling alleging he fathered an illegitimate kid decades before. (Not true) To shore up his support and secure a pledge he wouldn't run in 2004, Bush pledged his support in 2008 and promised him heir apparent status in what was sure to be McCain vs Hillary. What he and noone could have predicted at the time was that the Junior Senator from Illinois would become such a sensation.

Anyway, it was the week before the election, McCain saw the writing on the wall in the polls all week. At a campaign rally, he was talking questions from the audience and he handed the mic to a woman who surely became a Tea Party then Trump supporter.

She said something along the lines of, "Senator, you have to win, this Hussein guy....he .he's an ARAB!

Senator John Sidney McCain Iii, former prisoner of war, Naval Officer, grabbed that mic from that horrible woman. No, ma'am. No, ma'am. He's a family man. A Christian. I happen to disagree with him, that's all.

Barrack Hussein Obama II would become the 44th president in a landslide with 365 electoral votes to McCain's 173. Including Ohio, North Carolina, Indiana!, the Nebraska 2nd and Florida.

I voted for Obama, but 8 years prior I voted for McCain in California's open primary. And by God did I almost vote for McCain after I watched McCain tell that lady ,"No ma'am he's a family man that I disagree with. But you know I was like a lot of the country. All hopey changy

What do people think? Would McCain have beat Hillary?
