We’re still three years out from the 2016 presidential elections, and that works in Republicans’ favor, said John McCain. Reason being, Hillary Clinton would win the White House if the elections were soon.

“I would bet, my friend, as much as I hate to admit it, that right now — this is why we have campaigns — if the election were tomorrow, Hillary Clinton would most likely be president of the United States,” McCain told CNN on Thursday.


While the Arizona senator said “she wouldn’t be my candidate,” he said that Clinton has the best chance of winning at the moment due to her popularity.
