The only amazing thing here is that ANYBODY gets along with McCain for any length of time and for any reason.
McCain put her into the light before her time, thus knocking a rising star out of her trajectory.
He then left her and her family dangling above the snarling masses, never coming to her aid, while letting his aids take out their frustrations on her, her family and her reputation.
Everything she has done since 2008 has been to make the best of where she found herself in the aftermath, career-wise, and salvage what she had built for whatever her future might be.
Imagine if she had refused McCain's offer and stayed a successful and popular Governor and we, the nation, just met her for the first time in 2012 or 2016?
Instead, we re-elected obama and McCain and...the senior Senator from Alaska Lisa Murkowski (She was appointed to the Senate in 2002 by her father, Governor Frank Murkowski).
I say McCain, who never intended to win the presidency, did that to Sarah Palin on purpose.
How's that for GOPe payback?
Compared to McCain ‘ole Mitch looks conservative. Kind of like if you are a bit overweight hanging out with morbidly obese people makes you look skinny.
They are both business as usual guys so why should I care.
Mitch has already unleashed negative ads on his 2014 primary opponent.
Hmmm. Making deals with the other side behind the leader's back. This is usually called treason.
