Thank You Sarah Palin

First Sarah Palin endorsed Donald Trump at a time she had negative 11% favorables with the GOP.

Then she missed the first event of the day following her endorsement.

Then she blamed her son being involved in a domestic incident on Barack Obama's treatment of veterans, turning off a lot of veterans in the process by suggesting those who came back from overseas were no longer able to control themselves and were not culpable for their actions.

Then she went to a Trump rally the day of the election with tons of undecided voters and started attacking Congressman Steve King, one of the most popular politicians in Iowa.

It was really an amazing spectacle. Sarah Palin then turning on Ted Cruz pretty rapidly and attacking him as unlikable, etc. was almost as pathetic as Mike Huckabee and Rick Santorum showing up at Trump's rally.

Sarah Palin did a huge favor for both Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio. She should really be thanked for leading the carnival barker wing of the party to Donald Trump.

I don’t buy your premise. Palin is not in the top 10 most influential conservative voices of “this era” (whatever *that* means, which is another problem with your premise).

Well, it's true anyway, regardless your wishing it were not. Ask an adult FReeper; you may have been hanging with the wrong crowd.

That was good. Thanks for posting. :)

>> Well, it’s true anyway

Then it will be easy to prove. Do so.

You and I have studied from conflicting textbooks in this matter, and you are demanding responses no one could provide that would rebut your posted anti-Palin opinions. I respectfully decline to meet your demand and shall not attempt further to prove to you that which a few FReepers and non-FReepers do understand and accept and which apparently you will not. At least, not yet.

There are many ways of stating my opinions, which I never asked you to adopt as your own, but I chose to post this one as an advisory to some FR posters such as you:

FReepers make a tremendous mistake bad-mouthing this era's most-influential conservative voice, screechy or not!

Was that a good move on Palin's part or a mistake? As in her endorsement of Nikki Halley, which I feel was a mistake.

Never have pushed Palin for Pope.
