Sara Palin had a lot of potential to be Pres or VP if she'd had a few more years in the spotlight before being chosen as McCain's VP. His sick expectations for her in the campaign did a lot of damage to her potential.
If he'd let Sara be Sara, would he have won?
McCain is a hate-filled traitor, sellout of Americans...the Lee tion was a scam, intended to get Obama elected all along...and, I surmise they thought Palin would cost votes, like they thought PDJT would lose easily.
I agree. Then he would have gotten about 25% of the vote, which is so richly exactly what he deserved.
Looks like McCain has chosen to insult everyone he can think of on his way out, EXCEPT Leftists.
We regret Palin chose to run with McInsane. It tainted her personal reputation to support such a weasel.
To his death, we now know that McCain blames his defeat on others.
In my opinion, Sarah Palin was a reasonably good and well-intentioned local politician, though her abrupt resignation as governor seems a bit flaky. However, she was at best unprepared to be vice-president.
Nonetheless, Sarah Palin did not cause McCain to lose. McCain lost because of McCain.
Go ahead ... someone tell us again how much a hero this pos asshole commie is.
McCain says he regrets choosing Sarah Palin as his running mate
__________________________________________________________
LOL...this senile ol’ coot would have gotten his @zz handed to him by an even greater margin without Palin.
And I regret not being able to vote for your tumor.
McCain is treating Palin with the same grace and dignity that he showed to his long suffering first wife.
McCain will only be missed and lauded by the portion of the public and the MSM who never voted for him.
McCain is dying and finally irrelevant.
Phfft.
He is saying this because he knows us “crazies” voted for him only because of Palin.
More proof of his, and his staff’s, stupidity. I have little doubt that she brought more votes than he did. Her events were packed similar to Trump’s, McCains not so much.
“McCain says he regrets choosing Sarah Palin as his running mate”
That’s his regret. On his deathbed. That is a fitting footnote to his life, I suppose.
McCain is the Hillary of the GOP. Both share the same politiccs. Both lost, first to a member of their own party and then after getting the sympathy nomination, in the presidential election. In defeat both became nasty and bitter, their bitterness growing by the day. And they are both approaching the end of their lives with McCain almost at the finish line.
The North Vietnamese messed up his mind. He never should have been trusted with any high office. He was an insane backstabber during the GW Bush presidency.
The toomah has completely taken over.
Anticipating his demise, the progressive media is getting ahead of the curve in their praise of McCain for his criticism of all things conservative.
These are the same progressive journalists who, in 2008, had discovered that McCain was in the pockets of oligarchs and a closet racist who spoke to his deplorable supporters in code words.
Nobody seems to remember that Obama supporter retired Gen. Wesley Clark criticized McCain on Face the Nation: “I don’t think riding in a fighter plane and getting shot down is a qualification to be president.” Then, seeming to have the Obama campaign’s permission to besmirch McCain’s military record, progressive media issued commentary far more demeaning than Trump’s definition of a hero.
The progressive media loved McCain’s “maverick” participation with Democratic Senators in resisting any conservative domestic initiative. But, of course, progressives would pull out the stops if McCain was no longer useful, which would be the case if he defeated Obama (or Hillary.) McCain is a textbook example of a useful idiot.
You ever talk with a dying person who has cancer in their brains? They say some of the weirdest stuff you ever heard.
Quit giving this very sick man who has a “highly aggressive and incurable brain tumor” a podium and a microphone. Take whatever he says with a grain of salt. Let him go home, die in as much peace & dignity as cancer will allow.
While I never liked his politics in the first place, he’s fighting a fight now that he can’t win and anything is apt to come out of his mouth that he wouldn’t ever say while in his right, healthy mind.
Anyone who takes this man seriously at this time in his life should have their own heads examined.
