Donald Trump’s coronation as the GOP nominee will present plenty of opportunities for Republican amnesia and short-sightedness. The easiest thing to do, if you’re a conservative Republican, is to dismiss Trump as an aberration, as if his candidacy emerged out of a whirlwind. But that’s the work of revisionist historians, not honest observers of the last decade of Republican politics.
Consider this recent tweet by Meghan McCain, the daughter of John McCain and now a commentator for Fox News:
I hope history remembers those who gave up their conservative principles for the cult of personality and celebrity. And those who didn’t.

The myopia here is staggering. Although she didn’t respond, I asked Meghan if she remembers an obscure, half-forgotten figure named Sarah Palin? I asked because, in so many ways, there is no Trump without Palin. Palin was Trump before Trump. The rambling incoherence, the vacuousness, the reality TV theatrics, the ghastly marriage of ignorance and confidence – Palin brought this to national politics long before Trump did.

Why is she important?
In a way she is correct.
Without Palin and the elections of 2010 and 2014, the voter revolt we are experiencing would be more tepid.
Can’t be true, according to he media and GOP Elitist scum bags, Sarah Palin is totally 100 percent irrelevant and NO ONE listens to a word that she says..but now it’s her fault that Trump is the nominee..LOL silly piggy, poor Meghan go eat a burger, extra bacon
This fat slob McCain has always bashed conservatives.
Now she says she is conservative.
Even her old man bashed conservatives.
Nope. No hatred there.
Tell your pop to lay down, 80 fn years old, this is not what our founding fathers wanted.
Before the year is out she will probably be working at MSNBC!
MEggy has a syndicated raadidiooo show. Her favorite word is “like like like like like like like like like like” gag me with a spoon.
john McCain supports homosexual marriage by not carring (see vanity fair interview)
she is just another limousine liberal

I wonder which side Meghan thinks she is on?
Calling all fellow Photoshoppers: GO FOR IT!
I don’t think too many people care what you think, Meghan.
Sorry, but you’re a non-entity.
“The rambling incoherence, the vacuousness, the reality TV theatrics, the ghastly marriage of ignorance and confidence...”
But, enough about you Ms. McCain...
Without daddy McCain, Meghan is nobody. Oops. Correct, even with daddy, she is a nobody. Wonder what favor he had to do to get his idiot daughter a job?
Yeah, you have to wonder just how bad their collective cognitive dissonance really is to reach this level of contradiction.
