It did. The thread snapped and dropped on McCain's head and like the French guillotine of the olden days when aristocrats literally lost their heads, cut the neck of his Democratic Republican Party.
The truth is, McCain ran for president as a Republican, but actually in his campaign trail he was a Democrat. The Republican voters found him to be a phony Republican, and the Democratic electorate found him to be a fake Democrat.
McCain therefore could be described as a political troll, all right, but like the nocturnal bat that was neither beast nor bird, he was not genuinely apocalyptic enough to win the public nod as the scariest of them all.
Nuisance candidates during the 2008 presidential campaign also showed their Halloween pranks. Like Dracula they came out bravely under the sun daring to be pulverized to dust by cosmic radiation. They were indeed turned to dust and swept not to the dustbin of history but politically swept only under the rug hoping to come out again when the next presidential wind blows. They lived up to the literal meaning of perennial candidates that never lose -- never lose their addiction to run for president as a public nuisance. #
