We absolutely talked about the fact that Sarah Palin was the harbinger of doom that cleared the path for Donald Trump to bring shame to the nation.Sorry for the random aside but I feel like Sarah Palin is under-discussed as a predecessor/precedent for Trumpism.— Nate Silver (@NateSilver538) October 14, 2017
She was Trump before there was Trump.
However the reason that we do not bring her up anymore is because she is now essentially irrelevant.
It's kind of like when you are upset that there is crabgrass in your lawn, and then suddenly a giant sink hole opens up and swallows half of your yard.
Suddenly crabgrass seems almost comforting by comparison.
