The week before I married on my familys homestead in Alaska, we found out Sarah Palin had been picked to be Sen. John McCains vice-presidential running mate.
This was big news for Alaska. Nearly everyone we knew was thrilled, even people who werent huge Palin fans. At the time, Palin was a popular governor whod made a name for herself fighting a corrupt good ol boys system that had prevailed for too long in state politics. She was a Republican, but seen as a moderate who was willing to work with Democrats and take on powerful special interests, including the oil companies that held sway in the state capitol. People liked her, even if they didnt always agree with her politics.

I hope he is correct.
Palin was a rising star, and for good reason.
The RINOs all hated her, because she was not a “Progressive”.

Where Kamala stands out is that she is the first to not have any children. Angela Merkle has been a disaster for Germany and Europe. She does not have any children either.
She does not have any "skin in the game" for the future.

David Letterman told a rape joke about Sarah and her teenaged daughter.
Sandra Bernhard also told a racist rape joke about Sarah.
The media used the C word and the B word to call out Sarah.
Homofascists in West Hollywood lynched Sarah Palin in effigy.
The Left is misogynistic and NOW doesn’t give a damn.

Biden WANTS to win, McCain fought against winning.
His corpse of a campaign had to be dragged to the finish line and he HATED Sarah Palin and her conservative supporters.

She needs to be asked if she murdered any of her offspring while they were still in the womb.
Actually the question should be mandatory in today’s age for any female candidate.

Biden WANTS to win
No he doesn’t. If he did he would not be hiding in his mother’s basement. Well that is not fair, he probably owns his own basement.
If Biden wanted to win he could have stayed involved.
He could send out his own tweets, he could set up a Vlog, he could have called into radio talk shows he cold have granted more interviews, and last he could have moved to the center by denouncing the riots. He did none of those things (or least not on a level anyone noticed.)
Watch as Kamilla Harris does all the heavy lifting for the campaign.

Who would breed that??? Being a high caste Indian (caucasian) her choice was to marry another high cast Indian with a very long name, or continue being a ho'. She chose the latter.

Those things could very well help him to lose. He is a gaffe machine, always has been.
He very likely is in early stages of dementia.
Staying out of the public eye may be the only chance he has to win.

Can’t have it both ways. You stated the difference between McCain and Biden was Biden wants to win. I pointed out that he is not acting like he is even in the race.
Then you point out his declining mental condition...
Which is my point. I doubt he wants to win because I doubt he even remembers he is running for office.
For a year I have said the Democrats would replace Biden at some point.
With Kamilla they have a chance to move her up and get another woman for her VP pick.
Biden will be forgotten by November

Are you blaming Sarah for the bad choices her kids made?
To: Delta 21
It wont be. HIPPA laws will apply. They dont for covid, but they will for whether a candidate has had an abortion. Also an early abortion is just a D&C in terms of procedure so someone with the right doctor can hide it anyway.

To: CIB-173RDABN
He thinks hating Orange Man is enough to win. He lives in an echo chamber.
Who is his “raise EVERYONE’S taxes” policy supposed to draw to the polls?
