Obama didn't campaign against John McCain. The entire global MSM news cycle, was all Sarah Palin all day 24/7. Obama campaigned against her, and McCain was an afterthought lingering in the background.
Every Republican presidential candidate in our lifetime was controlled opposition.
Except for Trump.
The proof of that is that never before the media campaigned so ferociously against a presidential candidate.
I got onboard the Trump train in mid 2016, and what attracted me to Trump was specifically that the media clearly hated him. If the establishment hates him, that means he's not part of it.
Republicans arent controlled opposition, theyre just one in the same with dems. The uniparty doesnt care who wins so long as its one of their 2 chosen candidates.
like Hillary or Jeb! were supposed to be the only choices in 2016.
No Name wasn't just controlled opposition, he was a traitor and Deep State agent hellbent on destroying America.
Besides being a rat in Vietnam and being one of the people responsible for 134 deaths on USS Forrestal, he also helped Obama setup, coordinate with, and plan how ISIS was going to be formed.
Shit. I remember that because I hated McCain and only stomachs a vote for him because of her. I disliked McCain so bad i almost didn't vote at all, it was more of a vote against Obama. I served in the navy with men that were at the end of their careers when mine was beginning. There was no love for mccain. As I watched McCain over the next 20 years I saw what theybwere tlking about. The Savings and loan debacle is part of it.
Yeah, he was an empty suit placeholder candidate like Biden and there was zero enthusiasm for his candidacy. And his campaign contributions, his fundraising, doubled the day he announced her as VP.
I imagine that I'm not too dissimilar from a large number of "Republican" voters in that while I absolutely hate Democrats, I actively despise most Republican Party candidates, but vote R most of the time only because I hate them less. The former I want to drop out of helicopters. The latter I just want to kick in the nuts repeatedly.
I felt a tiny bit of regret for voting Libertarian instead of for McCain, but quickly got over it. I felt zero regret writing in a candidate instead of voting for Romney.
McCain was out there to lose. Why would he strip power from his own party (Democrats)? He was a NWO Globalist and betrayed his country for power. The name McCain is ruined forever
There is precedence for this too.

I may be dating myself, but I don't think Reagan was.
You'd be wrong.
In 1987, Reagan used his executive authority to legalize the status of minor children of parents granted amnesty under the immigration overhaul.
He turned California Blue and it never came back.
Not completely controlled but I loved me some rich bankers back in the day.
certainly not his first term

Reagan wasn't controlled opposition. He caved more than he should have but overall I still give him an A.
Reagan wasn't. Nixon probably wasn't either, otherwise why bother forcing him out?
I guess I shouldn't have used the wording "in our lifetime". I meant from the first Bush onwards.

I didn't even vote in a Presidential election before 2016. None of the candidates were worth my time.

I wonder if he started out a good man, but the communists broke him in that camp?
I don't believe he was a traitor while serving and all that stuff, but I do believe power corrupts and he was in DC for a LONG time.
NoName wasn’t even running to win. Neither WAS MITTENS.
