In eulogies to John McCain we should remember he picked batshit Sarah Palin as his 2008 running mate, fuelling a Right movement which spawned Donald Trumphttps://www.mirror.co.uk/news/us-news/breaking-john-mccain-dead-81-13140901?utm_source=twitter.com&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=sharebar …

Perhaps he would've picked someone else if he'd met her before. Mind the vultures

you are agreeing it's bad he chose a "right wing" woman whilst his whole statist neocon outlook was bomb anything that moved
. Your inability to remove yourself from the statist bubble is quite illuminating. -
Your ability to be a bore is quite illuminating too, Jim.

Calling out your illiberal faux ‘right wing’ view needs to be done. An establishment statist, the broadcast equivalent on ken clarke

Yet he had the good grace to admit, on national TV, he had made mistakes in his life. Served his country with humility

Palin is Toby Young, repugnant but his little Oxbridge mates keep giving him media gigs.

Isn't Maguire's comment typical of the left, accentuate the negative. We have all made decisions we regret and I would guess that Palin was one of McCain's. Indeed, the selection was one of realpolitik than out of a sense that the airhead was a good candidate.

Not a US constitutional expert, but the executive power of a VP appears minimal. Cheney was an exception. Had McCain won, Palin would have had as much access to power as, perhaps, the Prince of Wales had while Queen Victoria was on the throne. VPs ensure rapid succession.
