True or not, doesn't matter. Republicans never care when one of their own does something they chastise others over.
McCain could have potentially won in 2008, or at least not lost as hard, but the horrendous VP they gave him tanked his chances and made him lose by close to 200 electoral votes. Obama absolutely stomped in 2008.

McCain could have won in in 2000, but rumours of him having an illegitimate black child ruined him in South Carolina primaries.
That only mattered because he was going up against other Republicans, and if we're being honest, S. Carolina is full of White racist Republicans.
But in a general election against a Democrat, Republicans wouldn't have cared if McCain was a serial cheater with 10 illegitimate kids.

The gripe I have was it was complete horse shit. Only for Bush to win in the most controversial way and for 9/11 and the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq to happen.
Republicans essentially shoplifted the 2000 election when the Rightwing controlled Supreme Court would not allow a recount in Florida and there was a difference of just 537 votes.
537 votes, dude. Bush might have legitimately had it, but not allowing the recount was corruption.
