Tucker Carlson and Peter Thiel may have helped save this country from being taken over by a criminal cabal, by foisting on a dotard perhaps the worst running mate that could have been selected. Sarah! Palin would now appear to be a world-class diplomat and scholar compared to Vance. Kamala will select a VP candidate designed to lay waste to this couch-humper in stature, bearing and debate...
