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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

Ramos has won eight Emmy Awards for excellence in journalism.

A little more skepticism about stuff like that would have been welcome.

What was the category, who judged, and what was the competition like?

Also, should we be feeding either of these guys egos more than is absolutely necessary?

Wow! Libs are REALLY SCARED TO DEATH of Sarah & Trump!

The only other pieces I saw in the news that covered this historical interview were snarky LOL smear jobs.

We’ll see who’s laughing next November!

To be clear, this was a set-‘em-up, knock-‘em-down campaign speech and not an interview...

Oh, you mean like when CNN, ABC, NBC, CBS, MSNBC, etc., "interview" Barack Obama or Shrillary Clinton?

Okay, here's a question: Who is Ben Collins .....?

LOL, that's an easy one 2DV.

Ben Collins is Today's Daily Beast, his red-rimmed eyes glued to the Gov. Palin broadcast, drooling and spewing and spitting venom, all-the-while wishing he/she/it could be as popular as Gov. Palin.

I don’t think Trump & Palin are well matched because she is a real conservative

“and embarrassingly low-tech, network”

I am not embarrassed at all. Glad to be apart of what could possibly be history in the making?
That reminds me i love their little history moments.
I like how the new casters are dressed professionally.
I hope they stay humble and do not become to hollywood.
