When McCain chose her I remember thinking, “They’ve thrown out the last of the few principles they had. The nutjobs will be the new GOP norm”.
IIRC, McCain didn’t even want her on the ticket, but he did go along with it–embracing the crazy to try and get more votes. There were many missteps that led to today’s chaos, but I always felt this was a big turning point.

And look how they treated him at the end! As so many other things Republican, their behavior towards McCain lead by Trump was despicable.
But McCain had a shred of humanity and honor, and there is no place for that in the new GOP.
