Back in 2008, I saw Palin as Reagan's natural successor. In many respects, I still see that today. Her type really is the last hope for America. But something is missing.
Palin has been smart enough to keep her name out there while still managing to stay in the background. She’s smart enough to know that if she put herself out there as a candidate for 2016, the media would spend their time trying to tear her down and ignoring all the other candidates.
Sarah has mad it clear that she is focused on 2014 elections. If they go well, that puts her in a position, if she were decide, to step forward for 2016.
She’s also pragmatic. She knows that the big GOP donors are not available to her because she can’t be bought. None of these donors give money to a candidate for altruistic reasons. They want a return on their money and they won’t get it with Sarah. If she were to decide to run in 2016, she’d have to raise at least $800 million from individual donors and that’s a tough task.
Your comment about needing a focused and realistic advisor shows that you really don’t understand what she has accomplished with nothing much more than her FB platform. It is rare that one of her FB posts doesn’t result in at least 5-7 articles about what she posted. Many of the so-called “conservative” sites like Hot Air and National Review try their best to minimize her, but they have made her stronger, not weaker. She reaches millions of people just by posting anything on FB. So far, her advisors have out-performed the advisors of any of the “really, really smart” GOP dopes.
Perhaps you need to review Palin’s Social, Economic, And International Political Positions; http://palin4president2016.blogspot.co.nz/2012/09/sarah-palins-social-economic-and.html
and review her FB posts; http://sarahpalininformation.wordpress.com/sarah-palin-on-facebook/sarah-palin-facebook-notes/
Name me one prospective candidate/politician with a more comprehensive approach to the issues that are important to the “little people”.
Over the next few months, every appearance and every speech she gives in support of a 2014 candidate will also give her a chance to rehabilitate her as a viable candidate for 2016. She knows her enemies are the left, the media and the GOPe and she’ll use these opportunities to get her message to the people.
