McCain was always a RINO. It's hard to win when people aren't voting for you but against the other guy. Goldwater Republicans are dead, and after Reagan they shouldn't even have been alive in the first place.
prez-elect Il Duce has the opportunity to tell the kooks in his party to take a hike and focus on the *only* thing that's going to get this economy rolling again, which is free market capitalism. That's going to require him to set his unwarranted ego and Marxist desires aside, but anythings possible. But short of that, it's going to be a rough ride for 2 years for the whole country, and it'll be totally his fault because the tools to turn it around are right in front of him.
He got 62,533,330 votes. Problem is the 55,455,118 who didn't vote for him hold 85%+ of the wealth, and if we don't like what he's doing, just like with Clinton we're not going to participate. 62,533,330 verses 85%+ of the wealth, I'll take bets on money winning that fight all day long.
