    Here would be the result:

    McCain wins: America is plunged into the second great depression. During this period unemployment tops 30 percent, the war in Iraq is a humiliating defeat for America, and the home situation is such that this heralds the end of America's supremacy.

    Indeed, as super-stagflation rocks the nation, McCain is forced to resign while the Democrats try to field an opposition. Because of the rancor of these elections, Hillary is booed out of a nomination, and out of the Democratic party.

    The future will not be characterised by a boot being repeatedly applied to your face, it will be characterised by an led lined American branded boot, manufactured by child labour in China, being repeatedly applied to your backside as every single candidate with even the slightest inkling of a plan for getting America out of the shit will be castigated for being too left and too university educated.

    By about 2020, America as a country will collapse completely. I shit thee not, this election, if it goes to Hillary America will survive, if it goes to Obama America will survive, if it goes to McCain America is doomed.
