There simply is no getting around the cult of personality.
I appreciate that DeSantis tried. But it's going to be Trump again for the loss.
Yep
Reminds me when old white guy McCain got the Republican nomination. Anyone with eyes should have been able to see that he would stand no chance against the younger novelty running as a media caressed incumbent.
At least McCain was a good, decent , well spoken man.
Trump will go into full freak out mode long before Election Day.
Going to be sickening.
That is a little bit of stretch...he left is first wife and started taking with with Cindy (beer fortune heiress) when she was 18 years old...married her by age 25
He also never met a war he did not want to get American boys involved in...
[But there is another Mrs. McCain who casts a ghostly shadow over the Senator's presidential campaign. She is seldom seen and rarely written about, despite being mother to McCain's three eldest children...But when
McCain returned to America in 1973 to a fanfare of publicity and a handshake from Richard Nixon, he discovered his wife had been disfigured in a terrible car crash three years earlier. Her car had skidded on icy roads into a telegraph pole on Christmas Eve, 1969. Her pelvis and one arm were shattered by the impact and she suffered massive internal injuries.
When Carol was discharged from hospital after six months of life-saving surgery, the prognosis was bleak. In order to save her legs, surgeons had been forced to cut away huge sections of shattered bone, taking with it her tall, willowy figure. She was confined to a wheelchair and was forced to use a catheter.
Through sheer hard work, Carol learned to walk again. But when John McCain came home from Vietnam, she had gained a lot of weight and bore little resemblance to her old self.
Today, she stands at just 5ft 4in and still walks awkwardly, with a pronounced limp. Her body is held together by screws and metal plates and, at 70...
she told The Mail on Sunday how McCain divorced her in 1980 and married Cindy, 18 years his junior and the heir to an Arizona brewing fortune, just one month later.]
Interesting side not...it was none other than our own incompetent in Chief Joe Biden who helped hook up McCain with his 2nd very young wife.
Old Joe and John were good friends...that says a lot
["Matter of fact, I introduced him to his wife." The two were traveling to Japan and stopped in Hawaii in April 1979 where, at a military reception in Honolulu, John met Cindy, who was on a family vacation. "We were going to Japan and we stopped in Hawaii]
