14. Sarah Palin Does Not Matter Again

In my opinion, the fact that Sarah Palin has a new contract with Fox News shows that she does not matter. She learned that she was not the draw that she thought or hoped she would be. Yes, she seems to be a draw at the NRA, CPAC, and other Republican events. However, who else cares about what Sarah Palin says? What has she done since she left Fox? She is credited with helping Ted Cruz win the Senate race in Texas, but that is not a big deal. It seems that she has not done very much for the Republican Party.
