Today we saw someone who was once a rising star in the conservative world explode in an inglorious display of crass opportunism.
Sarah Palin, that darling of a failed John McCain presidential bid, has resurfaced to throw her voice and her support behind the gilded toad of the GOP, Donald Trump. Where she was once a strong Tea Party leader, promoting free market ideas, limited government, and power back in the hands of the people, today she forsook it all, in favor of a big government, foul mouthed, Wall Street liberal with atrocious hair.
Far too often, we see that power corrupts and fame can be an intoxicating drug. Palin and her family became a political hot topic in 2008, targeted by comedians and tabloids, as well as the conservative punditry, anxious to foist this fresh, bold, "Mama Grizzly" into the limelight, and to sweep up ratings for themselves along the way. For a bit, it worked. Voters and TV execs alike were enthralled by she and her whole family. Daughter Bristol, as an unwed mother to a beautiful baby boy, even wrote a book about abstinence and toured the nation to give the warning to wait, don't do what she did, learn from her poor judgment! She even got a reality TV show out of it for a short while.

“ big government, foul mouthed, Wall Street liberal with atrocious hair.”
LOL!!!
Not to Trump Trump....but it’s all resembling a reality show now.
Good by Red State.
Go away Sarah Palin...we never knew thee...until now.
Redstate ‘mouthpiece of cheap labor’, going slimy to elect their man Teddy Cruz.
Another Sarah hater heard from. A hate based on envy, no doubt.
The trolls can say what they want, no consequence. Palin would make a great cabinet choice for Trump. She remains one of the few good Republicans left. And she carries the track record of a conservative, anti-establishment winner.
Fame is a powerful drug!
Is that suppose to say GOOD-BYE Red State?
This is a story of a bot named ted

Ya betcha it is.
Despicable to call her “drunk.”
Despicable to post it on FR.
Or.......like so many of us she wants to see the doors kicked down and watch the system destroyed from within.
If Trump gets elected with the non-traditional campaign he has been running the old, corrupt system is SCREWED.
Are Red State & WSJ merging and I didn’t hear about it ?
Go Home, Susan Wright
You’re a Pawn Directed by your not so bright handlers.
I’m with you Eagle.
“Palin would make a great cabinet choice for Trump.”
She would be a good Cabinet pick for any R candidate. Energy or Interior.
But very disappointed she has endorsed Trump. And I made calls for her 8 years ago after hearing her tremendous speech at the convention.
