Well Bill, if you do not want megalomaniacs in the White House you’d better mae sure neither Hillary nor Obama (whose creepy devotees remind one of some fascist movement) gets in, for they are far worse than McCain in this respect. For example, both are demanding the nomination and subsequent election almost entirely on the basis of their sex or race, for neither of them has any significant accomplishments to boast of.

Indeed, the most humble and least megalomaniacal presidents we have had in recent history were Reagan, Bush 41 and Bush 43, so you’d better look for someone like them. But of the three you’ve got to choose among, McCain is the least megalomaniacal, so you’d better be content with him, if you are really worried about that problem.
