Look how the Republican establishment treated Sarah Palin in 2008. Shameful!
This is another big reason for the Trump phenom right now as well.
Look at how 1/2 the folks treated her here after she endorsed Trump! Go Trump Go!
It was worse than shameful. The trouble is that we’d been the frog in the kettle for so long, becoming comfortable with spin, political correctness, and weasel words. Sarah came on the scene, was brutally honest, and the so many people, including FReepers, skulked off to their fainting couches.
She’s a smart, bold, honest person and it had been so long since we’ve had one of them around they didn’t know how to handle it. A little bit like Trump coming on the scene.
