She’s not exactly a Kristi Noem. Never has been, never will be, never even came close. And was she much of a governor to begin with?
Her biggest stain is John McCain. I recall the love fest for her here on FR in those days.
The best way she can serve the Trump Administration is by keeping her mouth shut and out of sight.
Palin was a very effective governor and had 93% approval, even being driven from office by the national media she left with 54% (Alaskan) approval while Governor Mitt Romney left his governor office with 34% as a failed governor.
Agreed—McCain was toxic trash.
She should have said “no”.
That would be taking a stand on principle—and I would have respected her for it.
