    But she was very popular for the first few weeks. She could appeal to what became the MAGA party of her party. She was a woman and a mother, which could attract some conservative Hillary supporters.

    If she was somewhat competent, the election would have been a lot closer.

      Closer, but also, everyone was sick of the Republican bullshit as Bush was on his way out and the economy was collapsing. McCain had a really hard sell.

        McCain was such a strange thing. For years he had a comparatively good reputation on the left. Like, he seemed like the reasonable Republican. Then he goes to try to get elected president, picks up a Tea Party running mate, and pushes hard to the right. It was a bit disorienting.
