McCain Would Be the Best Republican President for Europe

Considering the general suspicion and negativity towards Europe among the Republicans, it is great news that John McCain is the frontrunner. For Europe he would be better than any other Republican candidate.

The Atlantic Community reviewed the Republican candidates’ statements on Europe and transatlantic affairs and concludes:

Huckabee claims Europe is (unintentionally) to blame for some of the US’ biggest terror threats, Romney is using an anti-European stance to further his campaign, Giuliani is turning away from Europe to focus on Asia, while McCain, appears committed to revitalizing transatlantic relations.

Compared to the Democrats, however, McCain would not stand much of chance to be elected in Europe.
