I didn't find her funny, but she was certainly more entertaining than Mike Pence. And like Trump, she provided endless material for comedians.

True but to actually want a vp just because one thinks their stupidity is funny is beyond my capacity to comprehend.

McCain was old and palin could have ended up president. she would have been almost as bad as trump, possibly as bad. i don't believe there is a worse, but of course i've been surprised before.
