Yep. That's why she thinks Palins' attack on the media attack against Trumps' demand for BC proof is "complicated" - because Palin is talking about the truth.

To a Rat, the truth is ALWAYS "complicated."

Trump got his 15 minutes of fame in the 2012 election. He’s done. It is time to move on to a more serious candidate... hopefully one that is an actual conservative.

Any linkage between Trump and Palin's fan bases are superficial, at best. No doubt, this is why the pundits are mentioning it.

Pain's just being smart here. It costs nothing to be gracious. Trump may be a blowhard, but he's a blowhard of means.

Trump's not just a stalking horse, he's actively running through the Obama minefield, swinging a stick. His motives are really irrelevant. He's doing a lot of the GOP's dirty work for them, weakening Obama's armor far in advance of the race.

Palin's just making sure that she's standing behind Trump, not to the front or sides, while he's still on his warpath. No need to get too close to Trump, but no need to get drawn into a fight with him, either.

Sarah Palin and businessman Donald Trump have formed a political bond, one united by their populist ideology and contempt for the mainstream media

What a load.

Donald Trump brags about how he's so much richer and better than everyone else and how he crushes the little guy... is that what we're calling 'populist' today?

Donald Trump has a prime time TV show and gave an interview in Rolling Stone recently, and yet he's supposed to have contempt for "mainstream media"...

Yeah, I don't think so.

RE :"For better or worse, Palin has attached her seal of approval more clearly to the Trump phenomenon than any other potential presidential candidate."

She should unattach that seal yesterday. Trump is yesterday's news, today's crackpot if you even believed him. Palin was at a WI rally supporting Walker while Trump was pimping himself with idiotic claims and promises. In fact I have seen no media coverage of Trump since the BC came out.

But what about his people in Hawaii who “ couldn’t believe what they [were] finding!”Looks like Stephy was right to ask about that, no?

Question...

Was it a rational act or irrational act for Obama to withhold releasing a simple document like his long form BC once the question was raised four years ago?....

I would say to all that no matter what you think of "birthers"....Obama's actions would seem to be irrational if all was in order...his actions made no sense if no problem...

Obama behavior in the matter over the last four should of raise questions in any reasonable person of either Obama honesty or his rationality

RE :”But what about his (Trumps) people in Hawaii who “ couldn’t believe what they [were] finding!”Looks like Stephy was right to ask about that, no?

I had alot of fun with that one. I kept pulling past Trump statements off the net and posting them. The BC and OBL stories completely killed his sucker act. Yet I still get freepers pinging me with bogus trump trade claims/theories which they could disprove themselves in 5 minutes.

Trump is like the guy on the info commercial selling the dork that ‘extenze’ pill with the actresses (porn stars) explaining why they date guys that use it. Or selling software that creates you a home business that runs itself and makes you money so you can quit your job and go on vacation.

I started posting"He is lying to you!" so it would get through because so many people seem to believe what they want to be true when they could easily disprove it.

Palin has no answers. Unless you know of any she has come out with.

Yep. Might as well spread the wealth around. At least the GOP is being exposed.

LOL they are so obsessed. Palin will speak for herself. Funny that the media which demands every single crumb on Palin was not curious and adament about Obama and his records. There are still a lot of questions regarding Obama and Palin is the one to point out their hypocrisy.

Sarah Palin is classier and more Presidential than any candidate in the last 50 years. There hasn't been a President with more Presidential bearing, love of country, grasp of the issues we face, or clearer path out of the weeds in my lifetime, and I'm looking back over more than six decades. Reagan was a tie. JFK was a joke by comparison.

Hers will go down in history as the greatest administration since George Washington. Period. Number two (in historical perspective) will be Geoprge W. Bush, once he is given proper credit for the current rioting in the Middle East, which will lead to representative Democracies and Constitutional Republics throughout a land once known for tribally despotic, cave-man-style tyranny.

You just have to see the Big Picture, looking back from 50-70 years in the future. Most are not thus gifted. You're welcome.
