Why McCain selected her must remain one of life’s mysteries, (other than the most simplistic ticket balancing) but she just was not, is not, will never be up to the job, any senior political job.
If the GOP want to really destroy themselves as a credible force, then Sarah is the one, but if they want to win in ’24 and heal and repair a wrecked country, they need a much stronger candidate than this
This article is fantasy. Palin’s not getting anywhere near the presidency. The terrifying fact we have to live with in reality is that Harris is literally standing next in line.
It’s hard to imagine a dumber vice president than Palin would have been, or Dan Quayle was, but Kamala Harris has them both beat. All three were apparently chosen for their looks. Here’s to an ugly but competent VP candidate in 2024.
You forgot about Joe Biden in your list of pathetic VPs.

Sarah Palin should be a comedian: it is patently frightening that any country on the planet could possible take someone with the vocabulary of an 11 year old, parochial ignorance, and absurd lack of knowledge seriously…. let alone in such numbers

She is surely inarticulate? Mind you so are Trump, Biden and Harris as was Bush jnr. Time for a literacy test for the Presidency? Just read any of Lincoln’s correspondence and weep.

Sarah Palin is running for Congress, folks, to be one of 435 in a body where Maxine Waters, Bennie Thompson and AOC are considered leading lights and where the Black Congressional Caucus bills itself as “The Conscience of the Congress.”
As I said a couple of weeks ago, “Two, three, many MTGs!”

Well, if Donald Trump could be President, anything is possible.

When a headline ends in a question mark the answer is usually no or probably not.

Can anybody with more insight give me a very quick breakdown of what to think of this Palin person? Is she more of a corrupt career politician, or a populist? Does she have real policies or just fluff? Is she more of a fearless leader like DeSantis, a cautious actor like Abbott, or a pushover like Romney?
You need to read about the run up to, and the process of the 2012 Presidential election. She is a populist certainly, whether that be good or bad or neither here or there, but she is not at all bright; very emotional, has little foresight or insight; and over reacts to criticism. There were suggestions and suspicion of some corruption, but that was more to do with extreme naivety than genuine badness.
The GOP can do so very much than her. It is time for a woman Republican candidate, but not that one!
I literally wouldn’t have asked the question if I put any faith in politicians. Not sure why you would assume anything about me from asking a simple question.

Sorry, but there are many who use the term O’biden as a reference to the current POTUS being just another 4 years of Obama. Good sophomoric attempt, however.

Yes, but there will be an election……..
…nor was Trump, as I recall…
McCain’s story made him my hero.

The Palin episode confounds me to this day.

Aka an imbecile
“not at all bright; very emotional, has little foresight or insight; and over reacts to criticism.”
Seems to have worked for Joe.
Thank you so much!
She is no different than any other modern politician, who you apparently put too much faith in.
