McCain is still upset that Trump a businessman with no political experience, won.
While he, A MAVERICKY MAVERICK and LIFETIME POLITICIAN got slaughtered.... by a black community organizer.......
It's sort of funny watching leftists rally the wagons around McCain....after what they all said about him back in 08? LOL
I have been saying this for years, and it remained a true statement. McCain lost that election because of Palin, not because of McCain. Was Palin McCain's fault? Yes. But, McCain remains popular within both parties in AZ because he supports what is right, not what the GOP wants. A prime example of that was his opposition to spending earmarks, which was nothing but pork barrel politics at it's worst.
He did not lose the election because of Palin. McCain got skunked in the debates. He was the one who said the economy was basically sound. He had no plan. Were it not for Palin, he would have suffered a larger defeat. I only voted for McCain because of Palin.
I am constantly amazed at the denial of the Palin supporteres. She was the single most unqualified individual ever nominated for the vice president by a major party in the history of this country. Trump may be a dickhead, but he is not the airhead that Palin was.
That is the stupidest statement that I have ever heard. Palin got things done in Alaska. She took on corrupt Republicans and reached out to Democrats to get real reforms in Alaska. She took on big oil which had a sweetheart deal in place for oil royalties. She reinstituted revenue sharing. During her time as Governor, Alaska's credit rating was excellent. Also because of Alaska's strategic location to Russia, the Alaska Governor gets security briefings from the Federal government. Not as extensive as the President but more than a normal Governor gets. Also because of Alaska's location, they frequently have to make agreements with other governments.
Palin was hardly a airhead. If you look at the uncut version of her interview with Charlie Gibson, you would see how they cut it to make her look as bad as possible. Gibson even went on to lie about Palin. She also held her own in the debate with Biden. She would have been better with Obama than McCain was. This whole meme stems from the Couric interview. She made a mistake on a question. Never mind the fact that Couric has been dishonest in her dealings with Palin and even got a award for it. The fact is that anyone who has heard her realizes she is not a airhead.
