She’s been out of the public sector for a long time, and her family situation really makes me question her fitness for any responsible position.
To be clear, as a preliminary, I am no Palin-bot. But I do not judge a person mainly by association, even if the association is family. As for being out of the public sector, that is formally true, but she has done a fairly good job of keeping herself in the public eye as well as performing public service, under conditions that I think just about anyone would consider very daunting. Perhaps you can point to something specific that you feel might disqualify her (I could at least consider something specific).
Back to being out of the public sector, I note in passing that Bolton has been out since 2006, 3 years longer than Palin. Romney has been out since 2007, two years longer than Palin. And Trump himself has never held public office at all.
