13. Why must every losing candidate

Wed Jul 6, 2016, 03:10 PM

Jul 2016

endorse the winner like they are some long lost sibling? It turned my stomach to see McCain endorse GWB after ads in SC said his adopted daughter from Bangladesh was the result of an extramarital affair he had with a black woman. If he had said then to the RNC that GWB lacked the morals to be President rather than "I am haunted by the vision of what will be" we might not be 15 years into an unending war.
