You know what Trump could do that McCain could never do? Win the Presidency. Why? Because he actually fought for America and stood up to the disgusting liberal media. McCain never accomplished a damn thing in his political career, was always a war monger and stabbed his own party in the back over and over and over again. And for the record, McCain lost the 2008 election on purpose, running the most pitiful, pathetic campaign in US history and picking some dumb shit like Palin to be his VP running mate. It's hilarious beyond belief to see so many of you liberals and media types talking up McCain to be a saint after he died but where was all this love and admiration when he was running for President? Oh no, then it was "McCain is the most right wing extremist of all time and a terrible man". Well he was NEVER a right winger but he certainly was a terrible man.

Huge respect for McCain who could have let Fey destroy Palin as usual and make himlook good. Instead, obviously, he told them not to portray her as ignorant as she really is. So, in general, it failed to be funny as usual but the "going rogue" part was great.
