Game Change-Ayoub El Ashmawi

1. Political vetting is extremely important because it needs to be ensured that the people who are elected to office are qualified and are knowledgeable enough to make big decisions that will alter the state of the union. If they are not qualified, they could possibly make decisions that hurt america. Additionally, other world leaders will recognize the lack of knowledge and attempt to take advantage of that. (See president trump and Vladimir Putin)

4. McCain/Palin set up Trump/Pence for success because it created precedence for someone who is not really qualified to be president being in a position to potentially become president, as Sarah Palin was vice president and would be expected to become president if anything happened to her running-mate.
