Donald Trump’s coronation as the GOP nominee will present plenty of opportunities for Republican amnesia and short-sightedness. The easiest thing to do, if you’re a conservative Republican, is to dismiss Trump as an aberration, as if his candidacy emerged out of a whirlwind. But that’s the work of revisionist historians, not honest observers of the last decade of Republican politics.
Consider this recent tweet by Meghan McCain, the daughter of John McCain and now a commentator for Fox News:
I hope history remembers those who gave up their conservative principles for the cult of personality and celebrity. And those who didn’t.
— Meghan McCain (@MeghanMcCain) May 3, 2016
The myopia here is staggering. Although she didn’t respond, I asked Meghan if she remembers an obscure, half-forgotten figure named Sarah Palin? I asked because, in so many ways, there is no Trump without Palin. Palin was Trump before Trump. The rambling incoherence, the vacuousness, the reality TV theatrics, the ghastly marriage of ignorance and confidence – Palin brought this to national politics long before Trump did.

Nice Catapult.
what a Trigglypuff Meghan is !
Persona Non Grata...
ANYONE know what the polls look like in AZ. for McCains competitor????
She wouldn’t know a conservative if one bit her on her prodigiously pudgy posterior...................
Kudos to Sarah
Call her sponsors and tell them she is causing you to stop buying from them.
Nothing talks louder than money.
OMG. Just when I thought this vacuous bimbo had reached heights of vacuous bimboness that could not be exceeded, she proceeds to rise even further.
It amazes me when RINO’s claim they conservative’s.
Tecently Myth Romney said if Trump is the nominee it will be the first time in 40 years that a ‘conservative” wasn’t running on the Republican ticket.
I about threw up.
I have come to realize I must not be a conservative as I have been since Gerald Ford.
While lookinh at those whp claim they’re conservative I don’t believe what they believe.
For instance, Graham, Bush I, II, III and IV, Romney, Cruz. Rubio, Kasich, McCain, Ryan, McConnel and several others. I don’t believe what they do, so someone is wrong.

Wow! Butt crack on the front side.
LOL I was looking at that trying to figure out how he got his butt facing forward like that, then realized it was his damn stomach.
Don’t like her politics, but she is HOT!
yep..... i say we start using “patriotic” instead .....
i never refer to myself as conservative anymore, i say i’m a constitutionalist and/or a patriot.... lefties don’t know how to respond to that..
>>>>there is no Trump without Palin. Palin was Trump before Trump. The rambling incoherence, the vacuousness, the reality TV theatrics, the ghastly marriage of ignorance and confidence – Palin brought this to national politics long before Trump did.<<<<
heh heh... Sarah still drives em crazy..... the jealousy is delicious
When you look at the resume of Meghan McCain vs Sarah Palin and what they achieved on their own in life so far .......well enough said.... except maybe....LOL at Megan’s trash talk
The TEAd party’s were marginalized wrongly
By the GOP,
TRUMP IS PLAYBACK !
You're right. It took Mamma Grizzly to snap the cubs out of their hypnotic malaise...........
