It's pretty obvious that one needn't be a genius to be a political jackal with high expectations.
"Sarah" is a dope and more importantly she's a committed zio-nazi sock puppet that was attempting to infiltrate the Tea Party with some marked success until her "dark" past was dragged into the day light.
Having teamed up with McStain, a known communist operative, was a huge mistake for her even though it allowed McTraitor to enjoy a very temporary boost in the polls. (Which was exactly what the PTB had hoped for since they wanted the well spoken and "clean" nigger elected).
