So to be clear everyone.... Trump loses the popular vote by 3 million votes and wins the electoral college by 77 electors and he has a landslide mandate!!!!
Obama wins the popular vote over McCain by 10 million and the electoral college by 192 electors.... "McCain almost won thanks to Palin!"
His "I'm suspending my campaign" BS in response to the mortgage meltdown revealed the elder statesman to be a doddering old fool. Obama won by default.
He suspended it for two days. From September 24th to September 26th.
On September 23rd he was behind Obama in polling by an average of 4 pts already and widening rapidly because voters tend to not be thrilled with the idea of voting for the party who just imploded the entire national economy on their watch. The campaign suspension was a desperation gimmick from someone who already knew he was toast.
Palin's subsequent demise was the result of being of only modest, middle class means.
Her subsequent demise was because she was a freaking ignorant moron.
Which, pathetically, is what makes your idea that Trump would replace Pence with her both one of the dumbest ideas I've ever heard and sadly plausible as something Trump would do.[/quote]
Actually, it was Obama among other liberal poverty pimps who imploded the economy by extorting NINJA loans from the banks. Bush had the misfortune of being the President who wasaccussed of racism and homophobia by trying to confront the idiots who ran Fannie Mae and Frddie Mac and was still POTUS when the SHTF.

Even McCain saw the mortgage meltdown coming and tried to implement reforms but he too was villified.
