Like when she endorsed McCain’s last senate run?
Loyalty to the country or loyalty to a “friend” were her choices.
So no, I’m not so certain of her judgement.
So which loyalty was Trump’s endorsement?
People do different things for different reasons. Whatever binds us to our friends often happens outside of agreement. Or doesn’t happen necessarily because of agreement. It also doesn’t mean that we would recommend them for a job just because they’re a friend- or even a close friend.
Sarah was ‘’thrown together’’ with John McCain because of her being chosen as his vice president. Have they associated closely since then? No. You can call her magnanimity flawed or not, but she doesn’t trash him most probably out of courtesy. That doesn’t mean she approves of him.
Sarah campaigned for Ted Cruz & was instrumental in his election to the Senate.
Have they associated closely since then? No. We may see just what she thinks of him as time goes on in this election process.
Sarah had no political association with Donald Trump, but their relationship isn’t recent. And, up to now, it hasn’t been related to politics at all. She’s been in a position to know him better than she knows McCain or Cruz because there’s no political obligation there.
Trump has also been endorsed by Phyllis Schlafly & Jerry Falwell, jr. I’m waiting to see if Jeff Sessions also endorses him. His statement regarding the kind of person we need was just short of that. but I suspect he will if push comes to shove. Cruz supporters have trashed them, too. Or will, in Sessions’ case.
Sarah Palin is in good company.
