“...She was the Trump of her day....”
You are exactly right. She was popular in Alaska then. I wonder how she polls now? It would be great having a gloves-off fighter like Trump in the Senate.
She was the first one to actually stand up against Obama calling him out as a do nothing community organizer. You heard a lot about her kids etc because that’s what mainstream media does to take out any strong conservatives. If the media would focus on any politician the way they did her they could trash anyone.
