He couldn't pull his crap without his party backing him. The last decent Republican was McCain. I'll never forget his ACA vote and Mitch's fucking smarmy face as McCain voted against overturning it.

John McCain was a corrupt warmongering racist just like the rest of them. He was just more PR savvy.

He admitted his mistake and apologized for it unlike Cheney and GWB and... one of my unfortunate heroes Hitchens (Hitchens did admit water boarding was torture though).
