Palin and the GOP's Uncertain Trumpeters
The Patriot Post ^ | 1/23/2016 | Peggy Noonan

Sarah Palin’s public performances continue to be distinctive. Her endorsement of Donald Trump was less speech than podium jazz scat, with some early Elvis thrown in. “Trump’s candidacy, it has exposed not just that tragic, the ramifications of that betrayal of a transformation of our country, but too, he has exposed the complicity on both sides of the aisle that has enabled it, okay?” Essentially: Bee-bop-a-lula he’s my baby. She was scattered, rambly; at moments she foraged through her notes in a way that was almost endearing, looking for lines that would connect and explode. But it’s not as interesting as it used to be because it’s not new.

I’m waiting for the circus to be over and some serious get down to the business at hand.....this last Debate was the better of the them. Hopefully Fox will be well prepared and bring the issues into focus again.

OK, cool. I just wanted you to know that if you intended an insult, I didn’t get offended, so you may need to reload and try again. :-)

"People know something has gone terribly wrong with our government and it has gotten so far off track. But people also know that there is nothing wrong in America that a good old-fashioned election can't fix."

"The whole article just oozes condescension and snobbery"

I had to recheck the authors name it sounds so similar to what Krauthammer has been saying since Palin's endorsement.

“There have been no endorsements of DT of “stature”.”


And exactly who would fit that bill and make a difference in your opinion?

I really could care less who endorses him or anyone else. I see him as a petty little man who uses Alinsky against other candidates breaking Reagan’s eleventh commandment, uses Alinsky against all media who don’t kiss his butt-—making Nixon look angelic, whose campaign last I checked consists of 50% how wonderful he is, 40% of how those who don’t agree suck — again with Alinsky tactics, and 10% policy which you guys can believe him all you want. There is nothing - nothing in his past that shows he will do what he says. But if one actually listens they see how little he knows except for how to sell himself. Trumpees don’t care about that either.

There have been no endorsements of DT of "stature".

If only Trump had been able to get Benn Gleck to endorse him! Woe!

Ha, you are off your game. Usually your insults are much more aggressive.

Polishing the bench in the penalty box takes some people's mental edge off.

It might be the polish, or it might be the complexity of the task...

Peggy took herself off my good-guy list some years ago, and I really did not read the whole piece, but - Dang! - that's a great line ["jazz scat"].

miss marmelstein informs us that Peg Nooner plagiarized the line from Camille Paglia, her intellectual better.

"I really could care less who endorses him or anyone else."

Odd then that you would bring up "There have been no endorsements of DT of "stature" in your previous post. Rhetorical question, we all know the answer.

By far is she Peggy’s intellectual better! Original and thought-provoking and a bit of a Sarah fan.

The reason the conservative elite is so ineffective and past its prime is that they are all talk and no action. They are intellectuals who know nothing of the real world.

She cannot hold a candle to Palin who is slugging it out in the real world every day.

These people are simply amazing in their stupidity.

I would think it takes a special kind of stupid to plagiarize these days and think one won’t be caught....

Peggy Noonan aka Blanche Dubois was swooning over Obama in 2008. She’s a GOPe moll who looks down her nose through rose colored glasses at us peon masses.
