How would Sarah Palin do if she decides to run for president? According to her former top-of-the-ticket running mate, quite well.
"She's very interesting. And I'm sure she'd do great," Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) told The Washington Post Wednesday in a brief interview.
After the 2008 presidential election, McCain has consistently praised Palin, despite her clash with his campaign team. Palin has also defended McCain. The former Alaska governor campaigned for the senator in his 2010 reelection bid....

Very stupid. No, she should not run for anything.
Notice he said candidate.Both he and Romney were more interested in being a candidate than being President. Both ran as me too candidates, agreeing with the half breed on every issue, except foreign policy.
Wow! The Hanoian Candidate checks in.
I think she would do great too, especially if she is not saddled with a lame, two-faced, senile, reality-challenged running mate.
Like the last time.
Hardly a ringing endorsement. lol
A far cry from saying she’d be a wonderful president, or anything like that.
Maybe McCain is hoping she would split the conservative vote in the primary to clear the way for Jeb and Christie?
The Reagan legacy would have continued if this had happened.
Thanks onyx.
Now, he talks nice about Palin.
Oh, look who is thinking about running for another Senate term.
Wanna play connect-the-dots?
“And with that, let’s consider the debt to be repaid.”
Yup.
Considering the number of RINOS she's endorsed, I doubt that. She's devolving into a professional cheerleader.
And when she wholeheartedly endorses him again, what will her FR supporters say then?
” Geezer McPain may face a primary challenge from either Congressman Salmon or Schweikert”
The only reason McCain wants to die in office, is so he can continue to hurt conservative positions. An evil, twisted POS.
Palin just had a 22 out of 24 success as she has done more than any other individual to move the GOP right for almost 7 years and has helped restructure the GOP as she has shaped it in well over a 100 elections.
But trolls are forever.
“”I would not be in the U.S. Senate today if it were not for Governor Palin, Cruz said.””
I see so much about all she’s done, but what I’ve actually seen from her are little quips (deflated balls, wtf, and other stupid statements). I’m just not impressed. As far as moving the GOP right, nothing could be further from the truth. The National GOP is solidly left with the mask being completely off. Her boy McCain has as much to do with that as anyone. State legislatures are right, but I can’t see how she had any effect on that.
She’s not the Saviour of the GOP or the country. She will not win the nomination. Partially because she’s not a liberal (the GOP will not have another conservative nominee) and partially because she hasn’t done crap in the last 6 years but make idiotic reality shows.
Sorry, just not impressed. I know she’s adored on FR by almost everyone, but I think they’re worshiping a graven image. The actually person is not nearly as impressive.
Like when she endorsed McCain over a conservative? Or Fiorina over a conservative? Even if the WaPo is lying, their numbers look nothing close to what you assert, and unlike you, they posted their sources.
So let's see your list, with sources (this should be good).
Barack, Boehner, and Bitch McConnell have done more to move the GOP to the right than Palin ever did. If she was so effective, then why did the GOP nominate Romney? She's been irrelevant since 2010 and borderline invisible over the last few years.
My, how you liberals weep and tear at your hair over this conservative giant.
She was right in both of those endorsements.
And it is interesting that you go back to the great election cycle of 2010.
American Achiever of 2014: Sarah Palin
“”It would be the height of churlishness for even the most inveterate leftist to deny the import of someone who made Time magazine’s “100 Most Influential People” list, and then the Smithsonian Institution’s “100 Most Significant Americans Of All Time” list. Both affirmations were earned by former Alaska governor and vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin.
To then accept Governor Palin as “American Achiever of the Year 2014” would be for most, if not all on the left (and to be fair, many in the GOP) no doubt a bridge too far. However, such partisanship should not stand in the way of a general acknowledgement of what was a remarkable year for Palin.
Palin achieved what such luminaries as President Obama did not: a place in the Smithsonian’s prestigious “Most Significant” list. After being written off by many in the media, and especially the left, as “irrelevant” and predicted by MSNBC’s Krystal Ball as “not going to have an effect on the [2014] midterms,” Palin’s record of success of her endorsed candidates was nothing short of phenomenal.
Governor Palin endorsed 22 candidates for various offices during the midterm finals, including senators, governors, lieutenant governors, congressmen, and attorneys general. Of those so endorsed, an incredible 20 were elected contrasted with, for example, Hillary Clinton’s record of 8 wins out 24 endorsed candidates.
Beyond the success of her endorsed candidates lies a much deeper reason for Palin being seen as “Achiever of the Year”: those Palin endorsed in their respective primaries who then went on to win the general election battles. As in the past with, among others, senators Ted Cruz, Kelly Ayotte, and Deb Fischer, and Governor Nikki Haley, who owe their elections in their primary campaigns to Palin’s endorsement at a critical juncture, so too could new senators Ben Sasse and Joni Ernst, and new Alaska governor Bill Walker (and, remarkably, his Democrat lieutenant governor Byron Mallott) be considered to owe all or a substantial part of their nominations to Palin’s endorsement.””

It is also revealing that you praise President Obama, Mitch McConnell and Speaker Boehner. as your conservative heroes, and attack Governor Sarah Palin.
You are quite the little troll.
She's too stupid to be a conservative. Reagan at least did his homework to understand conservative principles and their application, which she has refused to do. As a result, from what I see she has weakened the conservative cause.
She was right in both of those endorsements.
Fiorina over De Vore? Really? Then YOU are the liberal here.
As to your "source" it only includes 2014, an election in which she factored not at all. A blind man could have done as well. In 2010, also a banner year for Republicans when they had more to gain and when she was more of a factor, she went 33/53. That's no home run. You'll note, that she endorsed more candidates in 2010 because her endorsement was more valued back then. It turned out to be a double edged sword because she is so blasted vacuous when she speaks: offering little more than platitudes, which is apparently enough for you. When I look at her administrative record, I don't see a conservative.
