That's a pretty aggressive tone on your part but I will try to respond.
You may be right about Sen. McCain but can you say the same about Palin? Further while I am happy to learn that he worked with Sen. Warren on trying to bring back Glass-Steagall, his eagerness to involve America in foreign wars is repulsive to some [3]. Nonetheless he is a class act and an American hero - in my opinion, people became afraid of his candidacy when Palin joined the ticket.
Romney campaigned in 2012 on a promise to repeal ObamaCare, which was based on Massachusetts' RomneyCare [1]. He made the "47%" comment. He is also known to have said "corporations are people too, my friend." [2] It is unclear to me that he is as good for the middle class as he is for corporations, compared to President Obama.
I maintain that McCain/Palin in 2008 and/or Romney/Ryan in 2012 would not have been as good for the US as the current administration. That remains my pragmatic opinion.
