The former Senator breaks down what John McCain is up against:

Thompson agreed with the premise that McCain was “swimming against a tsunami,” trying to be elected as a Republican candidate after eight years of President George Bush, who is unpopular with a large portion of the voting public, including many in his own party.

The former senator said that McCain “is going against the strongest headwind I have ever seen” in a presidential election.

However, Thompson said that the party nominated “the only fella who would have a chance under these circumstances,” primarily pointing to McCain’s character, as evidenced by his military record as a prisoner-of-war in Vietnam and his political career in the Senate.
