I agree. I have always felt Palin was brought down here to the lower 48, saw the easy money, and decided to grub for it. All she had to do is make conservative noises and the money poured into her coffers. One would see it on this forum; i.e. express the slightest doubt about “Sarah” and one would be thrust into outer political darkness. She is and was a grifter.

She has her followers to this day and garnered their votes for Trump. Good for him.

I saw another thread discussing the relative costs and benefits of someone like Trump mounting a third party challenge if a brokered convention gives us Jeb or some other establishment candidate. One poster said something like "I'll only vote third party only if Sarah Palin goes third party." Reminded me of the "thinking" of Obamabots on the Left. Some people really do think that Sarah is infallible...but it's worse than that. Now her daughter Bristol is considered to be a fountain of sage political wisdom by many.

Our culture has rotted away to not much more than sound bites and reality shows. I guess it was only a matter of time before conservatism would go the same way. Back in the day, the spokesmen for conservatism were men like Russell Kirk. Then we took a sharp fall downhill when National Review was taken over by mental featherweights like Rich Lowry and Jonah Goldberg. Just when you think it couldn't sink any lower, movement conservatism has no-weights as spokesmen, such as a pregnant single teen mother from "Dancing With the Stars." As I said earlier, the Palins have become the Kardashians of the Republican Party.
