How could Palin endorse Trump?

Sat., Jan. 30, 2016

Disagree with his politics if you choose to, but Sen. John McCain was a prisoner of war, a soldier and is one of our honored veterans.

What degree of moral bankruptcy and pathological lust for attention is required for Sarah Palin to endorse the jerk who disrespected McCain (and by extension all prisoners of war and veterans), the man who chose her as his running mate? Without him, she would still be an obscurity.

This woman is a perfect match for Trump: crassness with classlessness. The only good thing about it: Tina Fey is back.
