Today’s election snippet: John McCain’s temper.
You’ve probably heard or read bits here and there about John McCain’s volatility and difficulty controlling his temper. This video pulls many of those bits together. It makes it clear that this is not an isolated incident or two: this is a pattern, a central part of the man’s temperament.
And it’s not a temperament that we want running the country. It is not a temperament that we want engaging in international relations in a highly explosive period of human history. It is not a temperament that we want in a time of domestic crisis and extreme national polarization. And it is damn well not a temperament that we want with the finger on the nuclear button.
Oh, the thing I find really interesting: Many of the people speaking in this video? Republicans. This isn’t about Democrats smearing an opponent. Among people who know McCain, this is a serious concern across the political spectrum
Video below the fold.
