Former McCain Aide On “Game Change”: It’s “True Enough To Make Me Squirm”


With the conflicting disputes over the accuracy of “Game Change,” an HBO film that premiered over the weekend, we’re not sure what to believe. Though we’ve heard many say that the movie has its fair share of inaccuracies, Nicolle Wallace, a former McCain aide who worked on the 2008 McCain presidential campaign, said last week that the flick is “true enough to make [her] squirm.”

Though many have taken notice of Wallace’s vague comment, it remains unclear what she was really trying to say. If she shared any of the same stances as former McCain strategist Steve Schmidt, however, she believes “Game Change” is a fairly solid portrayal of what really happened during the last presidential election. Schmidt said during a Monday episode of “Morning Joe” that the TV drama is “very accurate.”

“For all of us in the campaign, it really rang true. It gave you a little bit of PTSD at times. It did for me,” Schmidt said of “Game Change,” which is based on John Heilemann and Mark Halperin’s book of the same name,

We keep hearing different accounts of what actually happened and what didn’t, but rather than wonder about the accuracy of “Game Change,” viewers should focus on its entertainment value. Enjoy the story for what it is, because there’s no way for outsiders to know everything that took place on the campaign trail.

    The truth must hurt.  Where’s the Palin defense bandwagon?  How sad that
    we’re seeing her former operatives coming out and claiming how crazy
    she was, let alone commenting that the thought of a Palin presidency is
    just absurd.

    These people were working within the McCain campaign.  I’m guessing they’d probably know a few things about what went on.

    Instead of calling it Game Change they should call it Hoodwink. Republicans tried and failed at Hoodwinking Americans and disaffected Hillary Clinton voters who wanted to see the first women in high office by electing a completely incompetent white racist Republican.  Same as when the Republican race-baiting machine choose Michael Steele to lead the charge against Obama to prove “they’re not racist” and Hermain Cain of all people the Black person hating Black person cheating on his wife by sexually assualting several white persons.  I just truly wish all Republicans would fall off the face of the earth never to be heard from again. Independents should replace them as the leading political party.
