“How ironic with your username that you would advise Trump to ignore the media. How did that work out for Sarah?”
WTF? So things didn’t work out for Sarah because she ignored the media?
That’s wrong on so many levels. First, what didn’t “work out” for us in 2008 was McCain, not Palin. If you blame Sarah for his loss you are giving yourself away. Second, when Sarah faced relentless and entirely undeserved bullying and mocking from the leftist media and celebrity crowd, it was McCain’s failure to have her back that sunk him. His utter lack of chivalry was the last straw for true conservatives that were holding their noses to support him only because she was on the ticket.
So yes. If McCain had ignored the media and supported Sarah, and called out Obama for his utter lack of experience, his anti American and radical leftist ties, instead of folding like a cheap tent, things might have worked out better for him, for Sarah and for us.
I think the poster was saying that the campaign - not Sarah Palin, personally - ignored the press and stopped her from battling back. Sarah could only respond as far as the campaign would allow her. And they hated her from the very beginning - those two evil losers, Steve Schmidt and Nicole Wallace.
Off point, Sarah was the most talented politician I’ve seen post Reagan. She had the media instincts of Princess Diana - a media genius. Palin also had a down-home quality that was massively appealing to not only the middle of the country but to this city girl!
Whatever your rant has to do with what I said I don’t have any idea but if you’re telling me that McCain and Sarah fought back against the media you’re the fool. They let the media define Sarah and yhey defined her exactly as some people know her today. I like Sarah Palin but the fact is under McCain’s guidance she and McCain both did not fight back against the media.
