Palin was a Tea Party candidate. The Tea Party also got Rubio and Cruz into the senate. The Tea party felt betrayed by Rubio and his gang of eight, and got behind Cruz during the presidential primaries.
Trump won the primaries because he got people interested who ordinarily are not interested. He got working-class citizens who have “heard it all before” from the political class. Trump represents something new.
But the Tea Party is solidly behind Trump today. And the only thing that connects this to Palin is the insidious hatred Obama, the Clintons, and the other Dem operatives, such as the mainstream media, have shown toward people like Palin and the Tea Party.
America is fed up. If that connects Trump, Palin, Cruz, and the Tea Party, so be it. We are tired of the uniparty-controlled, business-as-usual hijacking of our nation.
