"First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then the fight you, then the you WIN" the inspirational meme featuring Donald Trump raising his arm to display victory fingers read. Trump's biggest endorser Sarah Palin posted the image to her Facebook page Thursday night as the Republican presidential frontrunner dared to diss cable news giant Fox News and rejected his centerstage position at the last debate before the Iowa caucus. Palin applauded the move, thanking the Donald for turning his back on Fox and "for bringing victory to our Vets."
"It IS morning in America!" Palin rejoiced. "Tonight's Trump success is a precursor of great things," Palin promised.
"America'd tv remote controls feature two buttons tonight -- victory and defeat," Palin wrote in support of Trump's competing campaign rally purportedly in support of veterans groups. Palin was such a booster of Trump's gamesmanship she was forced to thank CNN, one network that aired Trump's event while Fox held the GOP debate: "Thanks to CNN for bringing this uplifting, patriotic broadcast into our living rooms."

99% of reality stars never built anything worthwhile in their entire lives. On the other hand Trump has been very successful at business. No other Republican candidate has accomplished even ten percent as much.

Look at the positives - we could get to vote off the weakest link from the White House island every week.
It was carried uninterrupted by C-SPAN, and as of this morning there was a video link on their website for all one hour and thirty eight minutes of it. I think Trump made a good showing, and raised $6+ million for vets.
I watched on CSpan, and it was lovely. Trump did a little talking, but really not that much. The place was packed, and some donors talked, and some awesome wounded vets talked: those guys were funny but still didn’t leave a dry eye in the house. It lasted about one hour. And he made a bunch of money for about 15 carefully chosen veterans charities.
After, I switched over to the debate, and it seemed a let down. Especially just seeing those horrible moderators. A pack of yuck.
What I saw of it, Cruz and Christie were fine, Jeb clearly stole one of Marco’s 5 hour energy shots, which obviously made Rubio have to mainline cocaine. And someone told Kasich not to karate chop, which ruined it for me when he got a question. His chops were the best part.
What a loser Sarah has become!
Comes from selling out your tea-party and social principles.
You watched a fox. You must live out in the country.
That could also be said for the debate. I personally watched the debate on the internet so add one more to the 12 million. I’m sure I wasn’t alone.
Well, goodie for you. You missed an awesome VET rally by watching that dribble.
I keep thinking Caitlyn Jenner might pop up somewheres.

Buckle up Buckaroos!
Still, it is a dang shame.
I don’t think that 2 million included C-Span viewers or all of the online sites that carried it.
There were over 60,000 on one online site alone but several carried it including Phoenix FOX 10 and OAN on cable and online.
“Well, goodie for you. You missed an awesome VET rally by watching that dribble”
Eh... It was okay. Only had time to watch one show. I made my choice. I didn’t care to watch just one person self promote. I decided on multiple people self promoting.
