Jedediah Bila was among those in attendance at the premiere of The Undefeated in Pella, Iowa on Tuesday. She shares her thoughts on this event at the Daily Caller today, noting the graciousness of the Palin family and the unique drive of Palin supporters:
On Tuesday I attended the premiere of Stephen Bannons The Undefeated in Pella, Iowa. I had provided introductory comments before a prior screening of the film in New York City, and had seen a rough cut a few weeks before that. The final product is outstanding. And my experience in Iowa left me with several impressions worth noting.
First off, theres something extraordinary about the communication between Todd and Sarah. Theres a palpable trust and commitment, a mutual support system that grounds them and propels them forward. They are a genuine team.
Much like when I spoke at a Conservatives4Palin meet-up in November of 2010, I walked away from Iowa this week with the sentiment that Palin supporters are a force to be reckoned with. Theres something unique about their support, and it took me some time to put my finger on it. The truth is actually quite simple they believe her. They believe that she will do what she says shes going to do. They trust in her word. So its not just about supporting her record, policies and vision for America. Its also about a genuine trust in the woman behind that record, those policies and that vision.Simply put, Ive found Palin supporters to be primarily driven by their belief in her personal character. That is incredibly powerful and incredibly rare in the world of politics.
The audience was decidedly engaged during the film, particularly throughout the segments that focus on Palins policies in Alaska. Many lines were met with excitement and applause especially those viewed by some as alluding to a possible presidential run and Sarah received a standing ovation at the end.
One of the things that stood out for me was Palins impromptu commentary after the film. Thats the medium where Ive discovered that she shines most settings that allow for spontaneity. I got the very same impression when I attended her luncheon with The Long Island Association in February.
Not many politicians shine when speaking extemporaneously. Why? Because they typically try to connect with their audience via prepared talking points. Palin is different. She connects best with her audience by just being Sarah.
Read the entire piece here. Thank you to Ms. Bila for the C4P shout out!
Please remember you can buy tickets to the nationwide opening on July 15th in 10 cities throughout the country here. You can also vote here to bring the movie to an AMC theater near you.
She connects best with her audience by just being Sarah.” ........................ From the heart! BINGO!!
And have you seen a picture of Jedediah Bila?
She is pretty damned good looking for someone named Jedediah!
And she continues the grand tradition of conservative women
stunners who put the sour Lefty shrews to shame.
The list is endless: Sarah Palin, Michelle Bachmann, Ann, Michelle Malkin, Laura Ingraham, Monica Crowley, Andrea Tantaros,Karen Henretty, Jedediah, etc etc.
I am finding THAT fact very very interesting.
Remember the immortal words...”Let Reagan be Reagan.”
I’ve thought about those words often in connection with Sarah Palin.
TO THINE OWN SELF BE TRUE. It shines.
People DO feel that...including me.
Wow! JB nails it. I never really understood myself what the feeling was - it is trust, trust based on a personality and a record of personal and public achievement.
yep...she's a frequent guest on Red Eye on Fox News
I was there at the NYC screening, and I must say Jedediah does quite well speaking extemporaneously herself. She comes through as refined and unassuming but clear thinking and astute.
Conservative women ROCK!
I love Redeye!
Very happy to be hearing such positive things about this movie.
Same to you!
Now that Glenn is gone, it's the only show left for me on FNC.
