Palin did exactly what she had to do, Cuddle up with RINOs and speak conservative speak and you are in like Flint.
Hat tip, if well known RINOs start liking her? You have your answer.
The answer is status quo.
And if the RINOs in question sneer at conservatives, that should indicate a GOP trend away from conservatism. I thought the battle cry was NO MORE RINOS! Not, “A little RINOism is OK, we can change their minds” LOL
