Media tries to 'Sarah Palin' Donald Trump

The media, complicit with elitists in both political parties, are trying to “Sarah Palin” Donald Trump. Sarah Palin was a rock star when she gained national attention in 2008 as John McCain’s vice-presidential pick. She articulated the message of We the People clearly and concisely. Her record of accomplishment as governor of Alaska was impeccable, complete with having broken the shackles of Republican cronyism that permeated the Alaskan political landscape like manure on a chicken farm.

Palin refused to allow the same people today attacking Donald Trump to craft a message that wasn’t hers. The pompous so-called network news cognoscenti decided that the woman who had taken Alaska to unparalleled heights wasn’t intelligent enough to be vice president because she (according to them) didn’t read the right newspapers. The relentless attacks on Palin included foolish stories about her refusing to wear outfits selected for her by Republican handlers.

Similar measures are now being employed in hopes of destroying Donald Trump. The reason is because Trump isn’t one of them. He’s a blue-collar billionaire who eats cold Colonel Sanders’ fried chicken on his private luxury jet after a long day on the campaign trail. And just as the media and political hacks made a big deal over Sarah Palin making her own wardrobe choices, so it was that CNN did an entire program segment on Trump eating fried chicken with a knife and fork. Which raises the question; “How long before some black person goes on television claiming Trump is racist because he eats Colonel Sanders’ fried chicken, and most black people eat Popeye’s fried chicken?”

Well, it must be working since the latest polling numbers show DJT trailing by triple digits. He may as well drop out now to avoid the chagrin on Nov.9th. Right? Uh, no. Pretty sure the gopE is not done shooting itself in the foot. Status quo or you gotta go seems to be the mantra.

Sarah Palin would have been just fine, except she was a VICE presidential candidate, so she was not really free to aggressively defend herself.

The American media is completely sucking up to Hillary. Donald will score lots, and lots, and lots of points by standing up for himself.

Let it roll.

The media is worse than what is in Russia...at least they are questioned sometimes by Putin on subjects...

This media is not only stupid and idiocatic but down right brainless...

Trump/Pence will win this, and then what do they think they are going to do, keep right on writing stupid crap like they are doing and not worry about it?

Course you have to understand that most of our media is owned by Saudi people...so that should tell you something...

And of course, there are those who go from their T.V’s to the computer and read and gobble all their lies up...

SO WHAT IF PALIN AND TRUMP ARE FRIENDS???

At least Trump isn’t friends with the KKK; Radial Islamic Terrorists; Muslim Brotherhood; Orlando shooters father; and a lot of others I could name...

Liberal media bias has long been an open secret. But now it’s so bad that even a liberal mainstream newspaper notes that, in an effort to destroy Donald Trump, the media have jumped the shark.

Clinton vs. Trump? No, It’s the Media vs. America

Trouble being the attack on Palin worked. Sad but true. Plus Palin appeared to me to be a “money grubber.” I’m going to vote for Trump so no problem.

The attacks on Palin worked, because she was VP under whatshisname. And she did nothing, to defend herself.

Donald Trump is the GOP nominee.

And he fights back. Big time.

she was not permitted to defend herself during that campaign.....she still gets that treatment from the media today, because they still fear her....an ordinary citizen who speaks her mind....

Sarah Palin would have been a tremendous VP.

I thought Donald should have picked her, to run with him. But she seems to have been too demonized, for that role.

But I think she will be in his administration. For sure.

Actually, Sarah DID allow McCain’s handlers “to craft a message for her that wasn’t hers.” I wish she hadn’t.

To Sarah's List.

Only Because the Media is playing this card now.

What do people want? The Hard Work of fighting Corruption like Sarah did in Alaska?

Or Feeding at Santa Claus' Trough?

My Guess is Santa.

Except Santa Claus isn't real.....

Sarah Palin is still a rock star to those of us who truly matter.

If only he had not picked her. Since he did not intend to defeat the Dem candidate for President, he dragged her down on purpose.

In 2008, Sarah Palin was a bright and shining political star and on track to be the first lady President ever...until McClain and Romney's operatives did their number on her.

You would have some thought to your own finances, too - if you were being harassed with a swarm of huge lawsuits.
When her first book came out, I bought a copy precisely because it would help her personal finances. Not that I am richer than she was or is, but the damage to her finances was on my account - and yours.
