Sara Palin is low key one of the most influential people in American history. Go back to August 2008. McCain was leading Obama. Nominates crazy Palin as VP. Obama takes lead and never looks back. Tea Party movement takes off. Trump becomes President. Without Palin, there would be no Trump. McCain would have been a great president. Obama admittingly was overall a good President in my eyes. But without Obama, there would not have been Trump. americanhistory
