I was shocked by Palin's nomination as well, she made Dan Quayle look like an inspired choice. Thankfully by the time she was nominated I was both "Never GOP" AND already sure Obama was winning so I didn't ever have to sweat her proximity to the Oval Office.

I took a different tact with Palin; I just laughed hysterically every time she'd give an interview

I've wrongly gone through this thought process several times. My first election was 1980 (I was almost 22), and I couldn't believe people saw presidential material in Ronnie, let alone twice. Then W Bush came along who I thought was too stupid to get elected.

Then came Trump and he made Reagan and Bush look good.

What in the hell has happened to my country?

Yeah, I never thought the late war criminal and plutocrat GHWB was a genius, but by comparison with Raygun, Shrub, and the Oval Office Orangutan he's a gentleman, a scholar, and a statesman.

Wouldn't we be dancing on the tables about a Palin Presidency if it was a choice between her and Trump? At the very least, I don't think Palin is a sociopath.
