Sen. McCain admitted on CNN that even he wouldn’t support Sarah Palin if she would run for president in 2016.

McCain offered up his standard defense of Palin, but when he was asked if he thought that she should run for president, he changed his tune. McCain said, “I think that she ought to do whatever she feels that she’d like to do. I’m very supportive of anything that she does. Obviously, Sen. Lindsey Graham is the person I’m supporting, but I wish her every success.”
McCain said that Palin could be an asset in 2016 because she still has a base of support and a degree of popularity.
John McCain’s lack of enthusiasm for a Palin candidacy was obvious. Sen. McCain will always be saddled with the legacy of unleashing the Palin plague on our body politic. McCain should never be forgiven for his reckless lack of judgement in appointing a person who not fit to be the vice president. McCain should be asked in every interview he ever gives until the day he dies why he chose Palin. He has never been held accountable for his actions in 2008.
The fact that Sen. McCain has finally bailed on Sarah Palin’s future means that even he believes that she is never running for office. John McCain still defends the invasion of Iraq, but even he isn’t buying the idea that Sarah Palin has a political future. If Palin ever would run for president, she won’t even get the endorsement of the man who chose her to be his running mate.
John McCain finally gets it, so when will the media stop pretending that there is any chance that Palin will run for president. Sarah Palin has shown no desire to do anything, but extend her fifteen minutes of fame. John McCain would rather support his mini-me in Lindsey Graham than attach himself to the burning tire fire that is Sarah Palin.
The media needs to stop pushing the myth of Sarah Palin.
McCain would never have supported her for Pres in the first place, so this is not really gnu gnus, more like old gnus.
I thought he abandoned her during the convention.
McCain dumped Palin in September of ‘08.
Sarah Palin still has my vote!
Yep. Don’t think he ever took her seriously. Just tried to capitalize on her energy, probably.
Heck, I get the idea he threw his campaign in fall ‘08 out of concern she’d be the next president and actually do something good for the nation, the old coot.
Why does anyone pay Juan one whit of attention?
McCain is already supporting a woman for president and truth be told he hates Palin no matter what he says, sociopaths are like that.
I’m hoping Sarah is running but from outside the Republican party. This is the right time to run against both parties, the political culture and the media. The American people are fed up.
Palin was good for a fifteen point bump of McCain’s presidential campaign. He lost the rest on his own.
...and what John McCain says is important...how?
I stopped listening to that crazy old man years ago.
John McCain “finally” abandons Sarah Palin?
Sorry, but that ship sailed in 2008. Sarah was pulling John along then, and he was doing just about everything he could to sabotage HIMSELF.
Jason is skeered spitless that she'll undo what obama has done to the country.
He dumped her when he ran. Only reason I voted for McLame was Palin was in the VP slot. Retire you old gas bag I understand goodyear needs a new blimp!

McCain is a turncoat.
Shazam!
Bookmark ping to Sarah's List because it has been demanded.
I will only repeat what all the comments above me have already said.
McLame and his Uniparty Ilk Abandoned Sarah when they realized they just might pull '08 off and they couldn't have that.
And The ONLY reason I voted in '08 was because of Sarah.
BUT we push forward, The Mama Grizzly is as fierce as ever!
