Trump & Palin Preview Worst Ticket Ever

On her fledgling, and embarrassingly low-tech, network, Sarah Palin interviewed Donald Trump, and managed a feat no journalist has yet. She made it boring.

As in-focus civilians flowed up the Trump Tower taking selfies in the background, an inexplicably out-of-focus Donald Trump sought to explain his rising poll numbers on Sarah Palin’s janky new program on an unknown right-wing news network.

“We’re bringing back—I use the term again, (as) it hasn’t been used in a long time—the silent majority,” he told Palin at the tail-end of her 10 p.m. newscast, On Point with Sarah Palin, on Friday night.

Of course, Donald Trump appeared once again unaware that the Silent Majority most popularly referred to those Americans who supported the Vietnam War, often viewed as one of the greatest quagmires of our time.

But Palin, herself, full of platitudes on a network too new or broken to sell ad space (fear not, One America News ran pseudo-PSAs to break up the interview segments instead) did not call him out on it. Instead, the former Republican vice presidential nominee-cum-wider reach public access news anchor offered hard-hitting questions such as this:

“We appreciate your battles here.”

“You’re crushing it in the polls.”

“(Talk about) the respect (veterans) have for a truth talker, as opposed to getting punched in the nose in the last seven years under Obama.”

To be clear, this was a set-‘em-up, knock-‘em-down campaign speech and not an interview—one in which Sarah Palin largely dominated and made Donald Trump seem like a level-headed centrist by comparison.

Palin preceded Trump’s interview with other ones featuring Jeb Bush and Ted Cruz—both lagging and pixelated on Skype—and, for some reason, Orrin Hatch.

In Ted Cruz’s interview, he called Planned Parenthood “a criminal enterprise” that he would prosecute if he took office due to viral videos he believed implicated the organization in some kind of baby-parts-for-cash sting. He, of course, ignored Friday’s revelations from the New York Times that said those same videos were heavily doctored all along.

Then, Palin greeted Donald Trump, asking him to set the record straight because “I don’t think we’re getting the truth out of The White House,” just like she was taught in journalism school. (Journalism, after all, was the emphasis on her bachelor’s degree diploma, which she earned over five years from four different colleges.)

Then came the random haymaker. Behold:

“You’re seeing some idiots in the press. They’re misrepresenting your exchange with some political activists—the father of the Clinton staffer, Univision’s Jorge Ramos—and you schooled that radical activist,” she said.

Ramos has won eight Emmy Awards for excellence in journalism.

“And it was the right thing to do because I don’t think he’s going to pull that again. Where’d you get your guts for that radical confrontation?” she asked.

Of course, when Jorge Ramos was forced out of Trump’s interview room earlier this week, he was immediately told to “get out of my country” by a Trump supporter. When the supporter was rebuffed by Ramos—who told him he was, in fact, a U.S. citizen—the heckler replied with, “Well, whatever.”

But that’s not the point! The point is the courage!

“Actually, the press—they agreed with what I did,” says Trump, for some reason not taking the outrage bait.

So Palin tried again.

“You get hit with these gotchas, like ‘What’s your favorite Bible verse?’” said Palin.

This week, after saying his favorite book was The Bible, Donald Trump didn’t or couldn’t name a verse from it when asked by a reporter for his go-to.

“I’m like, ‘Do they ask Hillary that?’” Palin asked.

Trump has a very reasonable explanation.

“You saw that. I love The Bible,” he says. “‘What’s your favorite verse?’ That’s a very personal thing. I don’t like giving that out. I love The Bible.”

Then, in the same breath, Trump alerted Palin as to how The Bible has helped him, a Presbyterian.

“In the last poll, I won everything including the Evangelicals,” he says. “I’m big with the Evangelicals.”

The church in which Trump claims to be an active member has since contradicted him.

Okay, here's a question: Who is Ben Collins and what has he done that compares to Sarah Palin or Don Trump?

[Hostage]

He’s a nobody. OAN and Sarah Palin are just getting started. They will get better as time goes by. OAN will emerge as a force just as Fox News did in 1996 when it started.

And in 1996 when Fox News started, it was pretty rinky-dink.

BTW, Sarah’s interview of the Stump for Trump ladies (webesisters.com) was outstanding.

[FlingWingFlyer]

He's a commie lib that is worried that the Republicans might not take the White House and his queen wannabe, Hillary, might get elected.

It's nice that the DemocRATS are looking out for Republicans the way that they are.

The church in which Trump claims to be an active member has since contradicted him

And yet, the very same media who writes this finds it plausible that a person (Obama) can sit in the pews for 20 years while the pastor screams hate and racism and claim to have heard or absorbed none of it.

[Sasparilla]

The Daily Beast picking their least favorite for their candidate to face. Dont think Palin will be running though.

[a fool in paradise]

The Democrats’ War on Women continues.

They said nothing in 2008 while their ilk called her a c***, told rape jokes about her and her daughter, and involved themselves in a whole mess of violent misogynistic rhetoric.

Stalinists lie. ALWAYS

[Rusty0604]

The silent majority is an unspecified large majority of people in a country or group who do not express their opinions publicly.[1] The term was popularized by U.S. President Richard Nixon...

The phrase was used in the 19th century as a euphemism referring to all the people who have died, and others have used it before and after Nixon to refer to groups of voters in various nations of the world.

In 1975, in Portugal, then president António de Spínola used the term in confronting the more radical forces of post-revolutionary Portugal.[27]

The phrase “silent majority” has also been used in the political campaigns of Ronald Reagan during the 1970s and 1980s, the Republican Revolution in the 1994 elections, and the victories of Rudy Giuliani and Michael Bloomberg. The phrase was also used by Quebec Premier Jean Charest during the 2012 Student Strike to refer to what he perceived as the majority of the Quebec voters supporting the tuition hikes.[28]

The term was used by British Prime Minister David Cameron during the Scottish independence referendum, 2014; Cameron expressed his belief that most Scots oppose independence, while implicitly conceding they may not be as vocal as the people who support it.[

Besides, OAN is NOT Sarah Palin’s network! That would be the Sarah Palin Network. Sarah was just substituting for the regular host Tomi Lahren.

[KC_Lion]

Ugh Ping Sarah's List.

If it wasn't for The Sarah hit pieces, The Daily Beast would have folded years ago.

The Democrats’ War on Women continues.

They said nothing in 2008 while their ilk called her a c***, told rape jokes about her and her daughter, and involved themselves in a whole mess of violent misogynistic rhetoric.

Stalinists lie. ALWAYS~FReeper a fool in paradise

So much Hatred and Anger has been directed to Sarah, Her Family and Republican Women in General the last Seven Years it would make the Writers of Game of Thrones Blush.

[Tupelo]

By Cracky! Now that is one truly unbiased column if I have never seen one.
OK I am joking, Really!

[silverleaf]

They prolly believe obama’ s favorite Bible verse is “ God Damn America” since it was used so much in his church

[hoosiermama]

So he runs with Cruz as VP. When the second SC justice position is open he appoints Cruz to SC and Palin to VP

You heard it here first

[Bratch]

Actually, Tomi Lahren has left the network.

At this point, however, there's no indication that Governor Palin's gig was anything more than a guest appearance.

Then, Palin greeted Donald Trump, asking him to set the record straight because “I don’t think we’re getting the truth out of The White House,” just like she was taught in journalism school. (Journalism, after all, was the emphasis on her bachelor’s degree diploma, which she earned over five years from four different colleges.)

Well, isn't that just too cute. Her degree, dipwad, was in Communications with an emphasis on Journalism. I notice on your Linked in page that you have a BS in Journalism from Emerson College in Boston; good for you. And traveling, she wound up going to five different colleges - so what? It took her five years? Big whoop. I went to three colleges and it took me five years.

Dumbass.

Megyn goes to CNN there will be an opening at FOX

Of course, Donald Trump appeared once again unaware that the Silent Majority most popularly referred to those Americans who supported the Vietnam War, often viewed as one of the greatest quagmires of our time.

Wrong. The Silent Majority reference in late 1969 referred to those who were not engaged in the anti-American, anti-war protests and who had not become part of the so-called counterculture of the '60s. Some supported the war in Vietnam and some didn't, but they refused to a part of what had become a very anti-American, anti-establishment protest of nitwits and even violent extremists.

[Jack Hydrazine]

Trump/Palin 2016
Worst ticket evah and lovin’ it!

[NTHockey]

Does me finishing a five year Chemical Engineering degree in four years make me super smart and one of the elite? Heck no, I HAD to go year round or it would have taken me 6-7 years.

[Will88]

And the Silent Majority refused to be in any way associated with the activities of such as Bill Ayers, Bernadine Dohrn, Abby Hoffman, Jane Fonda, Tom Hayden, and the ‘60s David Horowitz and many others from that era.

This writer has no clue, or he’s just another leftist liar.
