I disagree. Those who get elected to powerful political positions become embroiled in the role, where half the country wants them dead, and the other half want them to pull a rabbit out of their hat.
Then there are the 'rules', and the 'investigations', and the 'hearings'.
Sarah can do so much more by helping other conservative candidates get elected, than she could as just one person with the responsibility for raising a ship that is full of holes and lying on the bottom.
Let some Washington insider who is used to playing the game take the office, and have Sarah use the media to pressure him/her and their administration into doing the RIGHT THING, once again.
Remember, the real heroes in a battle are the soldiers, not the general.
Dead heroes if the general makes a bad mistake, like say Picket’s Charge.
Good advice. People put way too much adoration in politicans and the political process these days. It is nasty business all around.
