She got bamboozled during media interviews.

She lost a debate to Joe Biden. That's like striking out in tee-ball.

Yeah, if you go by Democrat, left-leaning site. Sure.

​Hey, Guys: Posting a Lot of Selfies Doesn’t Send a Good Message

Nor does opening with an inflammatory headline.

And your point?

I'm going by my own appraisal of the debate. At best she ran even with Biden, which is still sad.

The headline doesn't accurately represent the content of the article, its clickbait. Clickbait which you seized upon in order to try and make a cheap jab at the President. There are plenty of legitimate reasons to criticize him, there is no need to invent more. That way lies partisan hackery.

I disagree... she curbstomped Biden and rallied the base. The debate was at Washington University-St. Louis... so, we've had plenty of exposure and analysis here.

What she flubbed horribly at was during unscripted media interviews. Which, again, goes to show that she's not a good candidate w/o handlers, scripting the whole ordeal (as has recent fiasco shows).

I dunno...

Seems pretty spot on for "Mr. I Won" as far as narcissism goes.

I suppose we could all try to stay On Topic here, please?

Palin's interview responses were scripted, and the questions were screened. That's SOP in politics, and why she was annoyed by the fact that Katie Couric went off-script. But even Biden can adapt to that, and did so in their debate, while Palin had to stay tightly to a scripted message.

I say this with no sarcasm: I have no idea whatsoever what the topic is anymore.

I think it also is worth mentioning, since it came up, one of the "unscripted cheap shot, gotcha question" that threw her off was "what newspapers and magazines do you read", from known hard news personality Katie fething Couric.

I mean, how even
