1.Why is political vetting so important?

The importance of political vetting is paramount to running a sturdy campaign of any sort. Understanding your personal from head to toe is essential to winning. The 2008 presidential race is a prime example why political vetting cannot be overlooked.

When the McCain campaign decided to not properly vet Sarah Palin they left a major gap in their defense. Many people in the political spectrum use Sarah Palin as a prime example of the true incompetence of some members of the American political world (congress and otherwise).

Political vetting  is the process of looking at background checks on people when they are hiring for a job, or in this situation running for office.

8. Compare Sarah Palin’s level of knowledge to that of Mike Pence or Donald Trump...is it a fair comparison?

Before watching the movie Game Changer, I didn’t know too much about Sarah Palin. Growing up in a liberal family, I was kind of taught to not really like her. I knew the background about her, that she was a nice lady with a disabled child. My parents always told me how ignorant she was, but I never really really let is soak all in.

Now after watching this movie, I believe that she may be one of the dumbest politicians in the history of politics. This movie I know was extremely accurate, and it shocks me that a governor running for vice president is so focused on Alaska. If you are running for vice president, you need to care about all 50 states, not just one. It was crazy that she didn’t know anything about foreign policies, and had to have all her speeches written up for her.

I would compare Donald Trump and Sarah Palin to each other because of their appearances. Both have very good looks, and are strong leaders. They are all talk, but scare the crap out of people. Trump obviously has much more knowledge than Palin because he actually got elected.
