McCain: 2016 'a different planet' compared to 2008

"John McCain marveled at the crowds for Bernie Sanders..."I've never seen anything like this," "Listen, Bernie Sanders came to Tucson, Arizona, a couple months ago and 13,000 people showed up, OK?" McCain said, adding he couldn't draw a crowd that size in his home state. "And look at how he's doing in the polls in New Hampshire -- and it isn't just because he's from a neighboring state," he said. "He has tapped into that vein of dissatisfaction that's on the other end. And so we're in for the most interesting political campaign."

1. Well, I can't argue with him on any of those points

[frylock]

3. As usual he sounds Mavericky

but he's really just nudging the Sanders angle because he thinks
HRC will be a tougher candidate to defeat

Both have their vulnerabilites

Sanders - socialism - they're coming for your refrigerators and food and paycheck with
huge tax increases for one payer gub'mint Leviathan

HRC - Well you know, Benghazi, illegal emails, Benghazi, elite Clinton Global Initiative,
Benghazi, she's really Bill Clinton 3, Benghazi, Vince Foster, Fracking (which will suddenly
be a bad thing because as SOS she promoted it), Benghazi

Did I mention Benghazi?

Take your pick.

10. Wrong

Hillary is the weaker candidate.

[houston16revival]

11. That's your opinion

Don't be so self-righteous that you act like the GOP.

Mental rigidity and certainty is the hallmark of conservatism.

13. I Could Easily Say Same About You

And even more so you're favorite candidate. Nice to see the weapons manufacturers lining up behind her today. You do know bombs are bigger than guns right?

[houston16revival]

19. I think you just like to argue

and it's all based on your opinions

I am putting you on full ignore

You are simply an instigator

I said nothing about having a favorite candidate

That is something you read into it based on your assumptions, or fear, or paranoia

Leave me alone, you're not dealing in a logical, respectful manner.

18. What specifically is "Mavericky" in regards to his statement?

"As usual he sounds Mavericky..."

What specifically sounds "Mavericky" in McCain's statement?

[SusanCalvin]

4. I was about to say I don't give a ™€¥£ what McCain thinks.

Hmmm.....

I still don't. And I say that as a Bernie supporter.

[rpannier]

7. But he's all mavericky and stuff

[Feeling the Bern]

5. You're damn right he came to Tucson. I went to the rally three days before I went back to Asia

I was never more awe inspired at a political rally in my life. Bernie was on fire and the crowd was just beautiful.

Tohono O'odham, Pascua Yaqui, Mexicans, poor people, black people, white people, old, young, college, high school, yuppies, professionals. . .it was amazing the diversity.

It made me proud to be in Arizona for a day.

6. Thanks for your thoughts.

[Joe Shlabotnik]

8. Cool! n/t

[royable]

16. I was there too. It was an astonishing assemblage of people

of all ages and classes and quite representative of the ethnic mix of Tucson.

I have not seen a single Clinton bumper sticker in this city. I see many Bernie bumper stickers every day wen on my short commute to work, or out shopping.

And yes, 13,000 people. I've been at that venue for outdoor Pops performances in the summer with estimated crowds of 9,000, and this was way bigger than that. I had to park 3/4 mile away, further than I ever had had to before.

9. "...that vein of dissatisfaction that's on the other end." ???

I'm at "the other end," and so are most people these days, of that lo-o-ong telescope that the arrogant few within "the Beltway" aim into "outer space," from time to time, at that distant galaxy they call "the People" (or is it the Peons?), observing us from far, far away, calculating our "red shift" (ha-ha-ha-ha!) and hoping that we are receding from them at more than the speed of Light.

What the hell does he mean--"dissatisfaction that's on the other end"?

Look out! The Beltway Aliens have NOTICED us!

[FrenchieCat]

12. He's never seen "anything" like the crowds Bernie gets?

Oh really?

[dorkzilla]

14. To be fair, that picture was taken in May 2008

McCain is talking about Autumn 2015, when people were still shrugging him off.

[denem]

15. PALIN

You started it John, you betcha.

[tblue37]

17. I think McCain feels bitter about the way his party has treated him, and now,

at the end of his career, he is beginning to feel free to say things that will displease other Republicans, including things that favor a strong Democratic candidate.

20. All thanks to you and Sarah, Johnny boy.

[Elmer S. E. Dump]

21. Wow - never heard McCain say a complete sentence that I agreed with! Sign of the apocolypse?
