I remember seeing McCain on TDS before the 2000 election. He was fucking sharp then. Somewhere between then and 2008, he went off the rails and/or made a deal with the devil.

Yeah, 100%. I feel like maybe he lost his mind because of trying to become the president. Hunter Thompson talked about it, he said he saw it happen to a few different people, he compared it to a moose during mating season, just losing his mind to go after the goal.

Maybe being embedded into a party that became so depraved took some kind of toll on him... having to deal with Sarah Palin. My God, I can't even imagine. But yeah, whatever it was I 100% agree, something happened to him.

McCain became a shell of himself when they saddled him with Alaska Annie (or whatever that Tina Fey character’s name was). He could have been a uniting figure, but instead the right decided to eat their own.
