Vox is a liberal publication, but it read my mind. McCain's decision inadvertently birthed the Trump movement.

And it's true. Palin had her facebook page. Where the term "death panels" and "lamestream media" other such memes stuck.

And Trump has his Twitter and covfefe to keep the fake news media on their toes.

I wish the president would make Governor Palin ambassador to a fairly decent country. Any suggestions?

I scanned this article or drivel, what a hit piece. To the author, I'll say it again we have the Palin Presidency without the Mini-Skirt in President Trump. It is a movement, and another spark was Santelli's rant about a having a tea party when Obama's spending went through the moon. We have always been here, DC just screwed us, took us for granted, sold our future, and our financial desinty and jobs that help give us purpose. Ya pissed us off too much and a man who would take no pay, owe no one who they feared, stepped in the breech, we finally have a voice and we haven't had one since Reagan.

FWIW, to the lame-streams, and the Steve Schmidt's of the world, you didn't destroy Sarah Palin, in a way you made her and all of us Stronger.

I was voting for President Palin at that time and unfortunately had to also take weasel John McCain as part of the package deal.

Ping to Sarah's Amazing List.

The party of Donald Trump began almost 10 years ago to the day, when John McCain tapped Sarah Palin to join his ticket.

“She’s not from these parts and she’s not from Washington, but when you get to know her, you’re going to be as impressed as I am,” McCain said when he announced his decision. “She’s got the grit, integrity, the good sense and fierce devotion to the common good that is exactly what we need in Washington today.”

Even though McCain and Palin were bested by Barack Obama and Joe Biden, Palin inspired a slew of copycats, unleashing a political style and a values system that animated the Tea Party movement and laid the groundwork for a Trump presidency.

VOX gets it 100% Correct. Whether they meant too or not.

The party of Donald Trump may have started the day FreeRepublic.Com was created.
