Frankly, it doesn’t make sense, IMHO, for a potential candidate to run the risk of angering a LOT voters in this way. Doesn’t matter to me if they’re Republican, Democrat, Independent or whatever.
Traffic can be very stressful to start with, and having your trip snarled by a motorcade can be quite frustrating. Traffic is slow and crowded in a lot of places, adding a major interruption only adds to it.
I get mad anytime even the President comes to town and traffic along a five or ten mile route is totally disrupted as his motorcade makes its way from the airport to the venue being used.
You fell for the propaganda intended by the author.
Read it again - the Palin motorcade is two SUVs long.
Two as in “Two fewer than the cars in my driveway”.
Note also - she describes the runing of red lights - read it again - she doesn;’t describe Palin doing this - she describes the paparazzi doing this.
