But at least now we know how we got here. Trump is the price weâre paying for Palin and Coulter and for every other media celebrity on the Right who made a career out of being âoutrageousâ rather than being ideological coherent.
This is what we get for putting personality over ideology. The first commandment of the Right should be, âPlace not thy faith in politicians.â The second commandment should be, âPlace not thy faith in media celebrities.â...

It's about time we start asking ourselves why this keeps happening to us! Perhaps this article begins to answer some of these questions.
Last night, Sarah Palin predicted that she would be trashed by the media, the left and the GOPe. She wasn’t wrong - as usual.
Media celebrities will stick together. Coulter and Palin’s support of Trump is not surprising.
Good grief, *Ted Cruz* isn’t even entirely “ideologically consistent.”
Though it IS amusing to see folks like Tracinski suddenly worrying about that now, whereas before they though it was a bad thing.
I have always adored Sarah Palin. Nothing has changed for me.
“Sarah Palin predicted that she would be trashed by the media, the left and the GOPe. She wasnât wrong - as usual.”
I see a lot of Conservatives who are scratching their heads at the endorsement and have basically lost respect for her.
I hate to break this to you, but personality will win out over substance every time in politics. Like it or not, a lot of people vote for their leaders based on which candidate they would prefer to see on TV for the next four years.
Behold the once mighty "Mama Grizzly," who abandoned her cubs and values for the spotlight and a 30 silver fish.
Damn girl, show some dignity.
Cruz's inability to keep Palin on his side is an indictment on Cruz.
Face it, Cruz is not a likable guy.
Who are all you nasty people posting trash Palin articles. All of you should be ashamed of yourselves.
Could you please provide the details of how Trump became a crony Capitalist in your eyes?
Give me specific instances where he received special government consideration, compensation, or dispensation.
Agreeed.
Trumpees are using Alinsky tactics just like their hero on fellow freepers as if.
We follow conservative values. They are following the cult of personality.
Our guy or gal will not get elected if he or she doesn't have some name recognition and charisma.
Trump has both in spades.
I believe that Cruz could improve his charisma and succeed as well, and just being the Republican candidate, if he is, will guarantee him name recognition.
Do we really think that someone we all agree with like Thomas Sowell could be elected as President in these times?
Oh, those are just your garden variety Cruz supporters.
Politicians are a special breed of cat. All of them are inherently corrupted to the very core of their being. Some are less corrupt than others though.
That’s why I look to elect leaders rather than politicians.
Leaders are to politicians like sunlight is to vampires.
Actually Palin is a very good fit for Donald. They are both Populists.
One Reality TV star endorsing another Reality TV star.
Palin supporting McInsane - Good. Support Trump - Evil, evil woman! Got it. People are nuts.
He has admitted to bribing politicians to get favors. He has admitted to trying to use the power of the government to force an old lady to sell her house so that he could build a parking lot. He has taken huge loans from George Soros. He supported the TARP bailouts. Need I go on?
“The first commandment of the Right should be, âPlace not thy faith in politicians.â The second commandment should be, âPlace not thy faith in media celebrities.”
The first one eliminates Ted.
The second one eliminates Trump.
