Comments on: David Axelrod could have asked John McCain why he is not a Democrat https://occasionalplanet.org/2017/04/02/david-axelrod-asked-john-mccain-not-democrat/ Progressive Voices Speaking Out Wed, 26 Jul 2017 16:04:49 +0000 hourly 1 By: Stacy Mergenthal https://occasionalplanet.org/2017/04/02/david-axelrod-asked-john-mccain-not-democrat/#comment-16727 Wed, 12 Apr 2017 20:11:00 +0000 http://occasionalplanet.org/?p=36798#comment-16727 I used to think he should have been an Independent. I remember when John McCain was called a “maverick” in the years before and after 9/11, a time when we all looked (mostly) favorably on him because he unequivocally refused to walk the party line. He was his own man and seemingly did what he thought was right regardless of the official Republican position. He was asked several times in television interviews if he would run for president. I think if he hadn’t taken hard right positions for the campaign or picked an absurdly vacuous running mate, he’d have made a fine president. Perhaps after all he had been through himself, he would have been much more reluctant to send others to die in senseless wars.
