Actually not to split hairs here. McCain picked Palin.
I was (very) impressed with that move. I was however not quite so overwhelmed with how McCain seemed to backpetal and then lost the election. That wasn’t quite as impressive.
But please keep in mind, it was McCain who picked Palin, not the other way around.
I now know much more about the federal government’s constitutionally limited than I did when McCain picked Palin as his runnnig mate in ’08. And since neither McCain or Trump seem to have a clue about the federal government’s constitutionally limited powers, I don’t see how any patriot can politically support these gentlemen.
