Sarah Palin's track record is already thin -- both inside and outside public office. She was a small-town political figure for ten years, then governor of Alaska for less than three years. Other than that, her political career was a brief flash as a charismatic VP candidate for an old hack who should have retired years ago.
Outside public office, she's been little more than a media figure and political advocate.
There's nothing wrong with any of this, but it hardly qualifies someone to serve as the U.S. Secretary of State. I would usually consider a lack of public-sector experience an asset rather than a liability, but Palin hardly has a track record of private-sector success that Donald Trump brought to his first political campaign.
If Palin is a credible candidate for U.S. Secretary of State, then you could find thousands of successful business owners all over this country would be better suited for this role.
I suppose I have more faith in the innate ability of human nature to adapt and to learn than you do, and less apt to be in awe of what in the bottom line is a job with a title than you are. There is no “secretary of state” school, any more than there is a “president” school. And the SoSs have a small army of assistants and advisors to assist them to navigate away from making egregious errors. Maybe someone should get a grip.
And yeah, I will freely admit that I admire small business owners. In fact, I suspect that I respect the “right stuff” qualities of small business owners more than you evidently do.
Sheesh. :-(
