McCain lost, in large part, because he picked a Honey Boo Boo of a running mate and that showed he couldn’t be trusted with ‘the football.’

Yes, this.

His first major decision as a potential POTUS and he picks a laughably unequipped, uneducated beauty queen as his VP in a blatant attempt to get bitter Hillary voters after the contentious Democratic primaries. It showed he wasn’t serious and it showed the GOP’s contempt for women voters. They assumed that they could pick anyone with lady parts and get women to show up for them at the polls.

Once Tina Fey got a hold of Sarah Palin and skewed her using Palin’s own words, it was all over.
