Palin

Anyone know if crazy ass Sarah was there?

[demmiblue]

1. She wasn't invited. n/t

[cilla4progress]

2. Hooray.

McCain did us right by this Memorial!

[mucifer]

3. She isn't as bad of a narcissist as trump she has been respectful

5. I was actually surprised she didn't snark

[Power 2 the People]

11. I took her calling him "an American original" rather than an "American Hero" as a jab

I could be wrong but up until his book and all throughout his campaign she always called him a maverick and a hero.

4. She was not invited. Neither were Steve Schmidt nor Nicole Wallace though...

[cilla4progress]

7. Any word on

Why not? Schmidt and Wallace?

9. Apparently McCain was upset that they disparaged the decision to pick Palin and participated in

the book and movie "Game Change"... Apparently McCain did reconcile differences with Schmidt at least before he died.

10. McCain was pissed they both cooperated on the show 'Game Change'.

A movie McCain refused to watch.

Nicole said (crying) that in the end, she could not bring herself to vote for McCain.

Those could be a couple of the reasons.

13. I thought he came off well in the movie.

[PearliePoo2]

14. I think so too. It was a really well done movie with great acting.

Both Schmidt and Nicole Wallace have confirmed it was an accurate depiction of what went on.

McCain should have watched it. Everybody should watch it.

6. Persona non grata

[cilla4progress]

8. I just read he felt betrayed

by them, I guess?

[safeinOhio]

12. Waiting for the day when

trump is about as popular as Palin is now.

15. Is it just me, or...

It never seemed logical to me that McCain would pick a loose screw like Palin to be his running mate. I always got the feeling that he was forced to have her as vp nominee and he was never happy about it. Any thoughts?
