Willard isn’t there to become President, just sabotage. He has attempted to destroy 3 elections in a row and is setting up for the 4th. Although McQueeg wasn’t running as anything other than a ringer in 2008, Willard worked on destroying Gov. Palin privately, the only shot McQueeg had at accidentally winning the Presidency. Then his full fledged shot in ‘12 at making sure Zero got a second term easily. In 2016, he personally recruited Egg McMuffin to funnel votes away from Trump to try to elect Hillary (his ultimate goal). He will be equally working hard to sabotage and upend President Trump for either a RINO ringer and/or for the Demonrat nominee.
P.S. If you got your repeal of the 17th Amendment, the UT legislature still would’ve elected this piece of $hit as Senator. These legislatures do love their corrupt establishment cretins.
So goes the story. It was a former McCain operative who started the "Romney trying to destroy Palin" story.
Maybe it was true and maybe it wasn't. I don't see the evidence that Romney was trying to destroy Palin during the campaign, and few have even made that claim.
After the election, McCain's people were working hard to vilify Palin and blame her for their loss, and that McCain operative chose to blame Romney for what McCain's people were doing even without any Romney involvement. And of course, Palin did enough herself to destroy her chances on her won.
If Romney or his people did badmouth Palin after the campaign, it isn't at all out of place for any potential candidate to promote his or her own candidacy at the expense of somebody else.
But the myth just grows and grows.
