No, that doesn't anger me, because it's the absolute truth. I've previously posted what you just wrote, a hundred times on this website.
Sarah had her feet firmly planted on the path to the White House, but she was driven into the ditch by someone (and likely more than one someone).
She remains the biggest threat to the globalist ruling class establishment that exists in the Republican stable. If she were to enter the race (even) now, it would literally shift the axis of the earth, it would cause so much consternation on the left.
I don't know what the possibilities for success are at this late date, but I've read lately that, because of new changes in the Republican primary rules, a late challenger could actually win the nomination this year.
I still hold out hope that Sarah will see the path forward and answer the call of duty for her country.
One aspect that doesn’t get mentioned as often is that all those “ethics charges” against Palin were being reported as blazing headlines. Every week a new one. The media was using them to deliberately paint her as the most CORRUPT politician in America. It was working. When the charges were dismissed, that ‘never’ made the headlines; it was buried deep by the media.
So, in addition to having her family being deliberately bankrupted and tossed into severe debt (it was heading up into the millions range at the rate it was going), had she stayed in office, with all those negative ‘ethics’ headlines, her name would have been absolute mud. Which itself would have killed her political worth and viability. Now, had the GOP come rushing to her defense when all this was going on, she might have indeed been able to stay in office and combat all that. But they didn’t lift a finger to help her. She was in a hellacious box, and frankly did the only thing she could. Anyone condemning her as a ‘quitter’ because of her action are pathetic morons.
