So, what is worse?

John Mc Cain bringing Sarah Palin in the political landscape or Trump and Bannon have the power they should not have?

I think Trump/Bannon has had a bigger affect. But all have brought the word "hate and racism" to an all time level!

I lump pretty much all of them in a pretty sorry bunch - they range from awful to...well, deplorable!

I don't think McCain had any idea before he chose her how awful, nasty, stupid and utterly unqualified she was, but it's his fault anyhow because he didn't vet her properly (which was hardly at all). He was just hoping for a running mate who would give his campaign a little pizzazz. But she was an instant hit with the same people who later went for Trump, and for a lot of the same reasons.
