What about Palin? I'm sure she gave an initial boost, but isn't she thought to have cost the election?
But she was very popular for the first few weeks. She could appeal to what became the MAGA party of her party. She was a woman and a mother, which could attract some conservative Hillary supporters.
If she was somewhat competent, the election would have been a lot closer.
I believe it was the Tea Party. Man, haven't thought about that in a long time.
The tea party became the maga movement.
Right, that's what I'm saying
