There’s no Trump without Palin: Meghan McCain scolds conservatives for backing Trump
salon ^

Posted on 05/06/2016 11:35:22 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

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.

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.

Without Palin and the elections of 2010 and 2014, the voter revolt we are experiencing would be more tepid

You're right. It took Mamma Grizzly to snap the cubs out of their hypnotic malaise...........
