I know you are correct but something definitely changed when Palin stepped onto the stage and I believe it lit a simmering fuse in Trump as it did in million’s of fellow American’s.

They use rank choice voting in the General election.

Vote 1, 2, 3

So it comes down to two people ... one gets over 50%

Shirley there must be some sort of Santa “clause”.

Otherwise it could hand a gift 🎁 to the opposition.

You cannot be serious...🤪

Rupublicans altogether have 60.1% of the vote, as compared to the late Don Young’s 54.4% in 2020.

With her big lead in the 1st round, Palin goes into the runoff as the favorite. But, Begich cannot be counted out. The winner will probably depend on who eliminates whom in the runoff, when they start counting second preferences.

Still, he doesn't need to be there if Palin is going to win. It's better for her to get all the #1 votes than to have the people split their #1 choice between her and Begich.

It's all about the narrative that the LAAP-dog media will portray: either "The people of Alaska were split on whether to send Palin to Washington, DC," or "The Alaskan people made a clear choice in sending Palin to Washington, DC."

Indeed. She was the first one who boldly said that Obama was nothing more than a community organizer. I could hear people fainting and sucking their breaths. “How dare she”. I thought to myself, see we can fight back, we can turn the tables on them. The libs were able to drum her out by bringing in her family issues and such. They tried it with Trump but he fought back.

I would rather see Palin coming down my chimney
than Santa.

Rather see Palin wearing my Christmas stocking
and nothing else. That would make a nice
holiday.

Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin leads in early results from Saturday’s special primary for the state’s only U.S. House seat, as voters whittled down the list of 48 candidates running for the position that was held for 49 years by the late U.S. Rep. Don Young.

The early results showed Palin, endorsed by former President Donald Trump, with 29.8% of the votes counted so far; Republican Nick Begich had 19.3%; independent Al Gross had 12.5%; Democrat Mary Peltola with 7.5%; and Republican Tara Sweeney had 5.3%.

The top four vote-getters, regardless of party affiliation, will advance to an August special election in which ranked choice voting will be used. The winner of the special election will serve the remainder of Young’s term, which ends in January. Young died in March at age 88.

I can imagine a posse of MTG, Boebert, and Palin to counter the squad.

Laura Loomer is running in FL in the primary against RINO Dan Webster. If she’s nominated (and tantamount to winning the election), she’ll make Marjorie, Lauren and Sarah look like Pelosi.

Palin led the way at exposing the bad guys on the Republican side. Trump then accelerated that exposure. Now we need to get rid of these exposed RINOs.

Palin’s endorsement of Trump before the Iowa primary gave Trump the momentum and bona fides he needed to win the primary. People forget what a huge part Palin played to lay the groundwork for Trump during those dark 8 years in the wilderness while Obama and the communists ran wild destroying this country.

Palin is such a deeply unappreciated patriot. She was fighting not just against the communists but against the Bush League Republicans

And pretty much all by herself I should add. With the entire media and Repub establishment mocking her.

Begich can’t win.

Gross has a very good chance.... he’s really the DEM candidate. Endorsed by many DEM politicians

Of course, the real election for this seat is in NOVEMBER

This is how Murkowski is going to get reelected.

Murkowski is running for the Senate seat. This primary is for the House district-at-large seat.

Begich should drop out and let Palin run effectively unopposed by other Republicans in the run-off.
