There were times when the Palin family events seemed like an episode of COPS.Notoriety can be hell on any family. One note on Sarah, I believe she was the force behind the way Trump campaigned. She had a lot of face to face contact with him in NYC and Ariz and Sarah had, and likely still has, great political instincts, so I believe his focused energy o. The Rust Belt came from her. She begged McCain to let her campaign in Mi Pa and Wi in 08. She understood the people and their grievences. Where did Trump win the election, by campaigning often in those states.
I don’t mean this in a mean way, but just as an observation. At least in most cases COPS characters weren’t looking for the limelight...I think what ended up tripping the Palin’s up was that reach for the limelight with reality shows...Todd never seemed like he had much of an interest in it.
Notoriety takes a toll whether positive or negative...just have to look at Hollywood to see that.
