but indeed, Palin almost looks reasonable. From her knowledge and demeanor, Clinton is on a completely different level, of course, but Trump actually makes Palin appear to be a reasonable politician. One of her advises talked about how Palin woke up with signs of markers in her face because she was preparing and reading up on things till she fell asleep. I can even respect it that she took it seriously, acknowledged her huge knowledge gaps and put in this effort to try to fill these gaps.
Trump doesn't care what he says, believes he knows more than all the experts in any field (he knows the political system better than anyone, he knows more about ISIS than the generals), makes up stuff as he goes and always finds someone else to blame for his insane behavior.
