Ping to Sarah's List.
John McCain was Emmanuel Goldstein. A manufactured opponent.
The problem is the Uniparty threw Thomas Jefferson (Sarah) in there with him and next thing you know the Prols are revolting.

Amid glowing tributes to the life and career of Arizona Senator John McCain on Monday, MSNBC took time to use the Republican lawmaker’s passing to trash his 2008 vice presidential running mate Sarah Palin, labeling McCain’s selection of the then-Alaska governor as his “biggest political mistake.”
“McCain made some controversial decisions, some much-criticized decisions. One of those decisions was who he chose to run with in 2008, Sarah Palin,” proclaimed anchor Katy Tur early in the 2:00 p.m. ET hour. She then recited a column from Washington Post Associate Editor David Ignatius making that case:
The anti-Washington rage embodied by Palin came back to haunt McCain, in the person of President Trump. My guess is McCain was one of the many millions of decent Republicans and Democrats who could never imagine that the GOP and then the American electorate (or at least the Electoral College) would actually vote for someone with such low moral character.
Tur lamented: “I guess there are some out there who could argue that the choosing of Palin and legitimizing that voice, legitimizing that brand of politics, that reality show brand of politics, you could draw a straight line from that to the election of Donald Trump.”
Appearing on the program, Ignatius doubled down: “I think that choice of Sarah Palin was probably the biggest political mistake that John McCain made in his career.”
He continued: “There is an insurgency in the Republican Party. Sarah Palin was an early example of it, this kind of, you know, unprepared in the normal sense ex-governor of Alaska.... It was a poor choice. She was so unprepared for the office.” Of course Sarah Palin was the current governor of Alaska when McCain selected her as his running mate.
Ignatius concluded: “But I think it shows that McCain saw something changing in his party, this party that would spawn the Tea Party movement that really existed to trash Washington, the world that John McCain grew up in.”
Leave it to MSNBC and The Washington Post to use the death of one politician to denigrate another.
Here is a transcript of the August 27 exchange between Tur and Ignatius:

Thank God Sarah was my president for 8 years, even if it was only in my heart and mind.
They hated her because she had the gall to point out the Styrofoam Column cheap imitation Caesar who should have been regarded as a joke.
She whipped that stupid child's @$$ in her Republican Convention speech, and the media couldn't stand the light of truth shined on their little tin god.
Ping to Sarah's List.

The best part of John McCain dripped down his mother's leg.
Sarah Palin is the only reason the McCain candidacy didn’t displace Goldwater’s as the worst Republican loss in history. Almost NOBODY voted FOR John McCain. They either voted against Odungheap or for the ‘Cuda.
Absolutely correct! Sort of like Hillary not going to those states.
What has Sarah done in the last 10 years? Now rich. Endorsed a few candidates. Wouldn’t take on a 2nd Murkowski. We are paying the price while she remains on the sidelines.
Was someone else on the ticket?
I wouldn't have bothered to show at the polls for anyone else...
Daivd Ignatius was a DNC “news activist” during the impeachment wars.
Are you trash-talking Big Mike? 
THe only reason they are keeping this going is because every day is another excuse to bash Republicans. John McCain admits in his book that the only reason he got the votes he did was because of Sarah Palin. SCREW THEM ALL.
It should read Palins biggest mistake was getting on the ticket with McShame, SHE was a fighter HE was a useless POS!!!!
They never cease being stupid and insulting!
Sarah Palin’s biggest mistake, running with that CIA plant.
If you pay attention to what MSDNC says you should have your head examined. Their audience is the delusional lefties.
It's a shame that those brave cancer cells had to die with him.
They could have been implanted into a number of deserving souls to continue their good work.
Barky, "Dick" Holder, Lerner, Cameltoe, Schucks, Felonia, Rapin Bill, little teddy lieu, Takin A Schiff...
Too late to ask McStain what he was doing with all those radical islamic mercenaries in Syria? How did they get all those weapons John? Didn’t somebody say they were routed from Libya, through Turkey into ISIS-linked hands?
How did that happen John?
how adorable commie leftists pretending they would have voted for McCain had it not been for Palin such phony baloney liars..the ONLY and I repeat ONLY reason why I voted for McCain was because of Sarah Palin otherwise I would have stayed home..she was the only bright light in that sh*thole of a campaign
her daddy wants a vagina..nuff said about that family tree
The only reason I didn’t vote for Sarah Palin was John McLiar
