Trump Offers Jaw Droppingly Dumb Reason Why Sarah Palin Wasn’t Invited To GOP Convention

Politicus USA ^ | 7/14/16 | Easley

[Zenjitsuman]

Donald Trump is claiming that he didn't invite Sarah Palin to the Republican convention because Alaska is too far away from Cleveland, Ohio.

[MayflowerMadam]

“It’s really far, in fact you can see Russia from Alaska.”

Actually, Sarah did say that. And it’s true; you can see Russia from Alaska if you’re on Big Diomede or Little Diomede island.

What Tina said, and that people believed Sarah said, was, “I can see Russia from my porch.”

[Popman]

-—If Mc Connell gets to speak why not Palin-—

That’s a tough one...

Maybe turtleman is the Senate Majority leader and Sarah Palin is a former losing VP pick...

[combat_boots]

Yes. Beaten to within an inch of his life while she was away. She would be away again, were she to speak. She can Skype it in, though.

[bert]

he was too polite to say the truth........ Sarah was

[varon]

Silly. She’s the actual VP. This is the only way no one would figure out who he chose.

I have a feeling you're saying this in jest but I also allowed myself the same thought based on Trump's showmanship and the his record of doing the unexpected............

FYI - I've been conducting some research and most of those who put forth such trash as this pathetic attempt to trash trump tend to be folks who never donate to FR and likely never donate to any political campaign - they stir the crap bucket and act all indignant while never adding one thing of value to the deal.

Not saying anything - just thought some folks would be interested in the "study".

If you read the article that you posted, the first line is “She was asked.” Sounds like she begged off.

[Marie]

First line of the misleading article: “She was asked.”

Then the excuse that SHE gave.

Then ripping Trump apart... dumb.

It looks like she begged off.

She’s got a disabled child and a broken husband. She might be needed at home. Taking a few days to travel to the lower 48 might be too much right now.

FWIW, she was in NYC the last week of June filming her appearance on Match Game and was in Colorado for the Western Conservative Summit on July 1st.

[Elsie]

...Sarah will be back shortly to gnaw on Hillary...

I'd pay good money to see this!!

[Elsie]

They haven’t turned out well and that reflects on the parents.

HMMMmmm...

Mine turned out well in SPITE of the parents!

[Elsie]

just thought some folks would be interested in the "study".

I am.

Where's yer data?

[Elsie]

Trump has a great sense of humour.

Yeah; considering that...

Distance from  Wasilla   to Cleveland,  3,892 miles

 

Distance from Honolulu to Cleveland,  4,563 miles  

[trebb]

My data for FR is readily available by looking at donor lists and other lists (100 club, etc) and by the fact that nearly none of those I call out bother to tell me I'm wrong.

Why do you care?

[Robert DeLong]

I love what Sarah has to say, however, her delivery is not really the best, in my opinion.

[Pietro]

I agree even though I like Sarah she would be painted as divisive and would be a distraction.

And I'm sure she's smart enough to understand that.

This shows sound judgement on the part of Mr trump.

>>>She’s got a disabled child and a broken husband. She might be needed at home. Taking a few days to travel to the lower 48 might be too much right now.

It is also possible that Track Palin was jailed this week. Court records last night showed that he had been remanded to police custody on 7/13 related to the January domestic violence charges. However, the court records no longer show that event on his docket.

[Rockitz]

Early on I had the illusion that he would pick Palin just to be in their face. He's a lot more conservative with his decisions as he goes along. Paul Manafort influence.

[Engedi]

Yes, her being Governor, then VP nominee, the media digging up any dirt, had to of taken a toll on their family in pursuit of her career.

Wasn’t her daughter already knocked up?
