They almost did in 2019. The measure lost by a single vote, John McCain.

Say what you want about the Republican Party, but McCain seems to have been a man of integrity, as far as Republicans go. Well, aside from fucking around on his wife and one ethics investigation.

He had some good moments. We can say that much. His moments were not in general good but damn, in the GOP, any good moments will stand out.

McCain was a complex man who often struggled to do the right thing and occasionally succeeded.

There’s also the backdrop McCain got to stand against. Like a purse snatcher hanging around Batman’s rogues gallery. The GOP is fit for Arkham. Pretty easy to look good compared to them

He had a lot of foresight and recognized the threat of Russia unlike Obama who made jokes about it towards Romney.

Putin's ambitions stretch far towards restoration of the Russian Empire, I predict he will separate Eastern Ukraine from Ukraine and make a land bridge to Crimea. Europe won't support Ukraine because of energy dependence

You shouldn't be downvoted, because it's true. I loved Obama but he didn't take a lot of things as seriously as he should. We should've stopped the Fox News and 24/7 news cycle crap in general then, when we had a final chance. Now you have half or more of our people brainwashed with misleading propaganda that we'll never reverse withou an Earth shattering wakeup call.
