The lack of judgement of Donald J Trump

For eight years, people have questioned the judgement of John McCain for picking Sarah Palin as his running mate. He was behind in the polls and he needed to jump start his campaign. Also, he thought Sarah Palin would inspire the conservative base to get behind his candidacy. When he postponed his campaign to go back to Washington to help with the banking and housing crises that were threatening our nation, and Barack Obama made him look small in comparison, the death knells were ringing.

Since then, the American people have gotten to know Sarah Palin and her family very well. More than anything, she is a grifter. She is always looking at how she can garner attention and stuff her pockets with the charity of the weak-minded. America has seen this incompetent and shrill squawker in all her glory for the last eight years.

What did Donald Trump see? What does this say about the judgement of a man that wants to be President? Does he really think Sarah Palin will help him with some voters? As he stood on stage with that shrieking hyena, he smiled and would occasionally give a thumbs-up when she said something that sounded slightly like the English language.

Can America really support someone that would bring this woman back on the stage of American politics? What does this say about his lack of judgement?

He'll praise you if you praise him, and excoriate you (in crude, dumb language) if you are perceived to criticize him.

This was not some shrewd move by Donald to help sew up Iowa. This was Donald being the completely ego driven animal that he is. Rational thought comes second to ego with him. Always.
