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....

It is also revealing that you praise President Obama, Mitch McConnell and Speaker Boehner. as your conservative heroes, and attack Governor Sarah Palin.

I'm not praising them at all. They were SO BAD that they drove the base to the right more than Sarah Palin led them.

Devore moved to Texas and never had a chance, Palin is obviously smarter than you, that is why she is so effective in conservative politics, and you are merely an internet troll.

No wonder that you praise President Obama, Mitch McConnell and Speaker Boehner. as your conservative heroes, and attack Governor Sarah Palin.

McCain has not endorsed a 2016 candidate. But he has openly encouraged his close friend butt buddy, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), to run.

Why doesn`t the writer do a little research...McCain has not supported Sarah at all, going on late night talk show and trashing her, I saw it.

Allowing his fat daughter to trash her with out having her back, and his wife sat by silently and allowed the trashing of Sarah, if she did not join in herself.

Never say never. In 2007, did you think a guy named Barack Muhammad Hussein Obama would ever be living in the White House?

In 2007, yes, I did. I thought he could beat Shillery and knew the rats would be favored to win the general election.

In 2000 when he was a State Senator that got his a$$ kicked in congressional primary by Bobby Rush, who mercilessly mocked him as a halfrican egghead with a weird name? No. I’d have said “Lol WTF?” if you told me he was the next President after Bush. But then his handlers fixed a US Senate race for him and made him a “star” with his pap filled speech at the 2004 rat convention.

No Muhammad in his name BTW, just Hussein.

Shortly after I began watching this video https://sarahpalinchannel.com/video/convention-of-states-1688?access_key=e1b67440c2f81ffb91838ca58de23efc&utm_campaign=staff_post_cta&utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook , I remembered you had written this line “She’s devolving into a professional cheerleader.”

You positively nailed it. And whatever the assets of this cause (convention of the states), I find her pixyish delivery with eye popping and eye shifting to be decidedly unserious under the circumstances — the terrible erosion by all three branches of the Federal government on the constitutional limits placed on them that the convention of the states is allegedly the cure for.

I find it hard to call Mark Levin an ass, but he is definitely out to lunch for lauding this video. I fear it proves that he is no different that any other celebrity idol-worshiper. God help us.
