(CNN) -- The other night, having a few beers with a conservative friend, I mentioned how hacked off I was that there hadn't been a wholesale denouncement of the likes of Donald Trump and Sarah Palin from conservative politicians and opinion-makers.
To be sure, many, many, many, many have denounced both -- but I think a chorus as simple and clear as a Cee-Lo Green song is deserved. It should be unanimous and unmistakable. (The past 48 hours should make it pretty easy to dump on Trump.) My buddy, though, responded with an (almost) perfect analogy. He said:
It's kind of like having a friend who's engaged to a total b!@$h. Everyone knows she's awful -- everyone except your friend. Do you:
a.) Tell him she's no good. In which case he will almost certainly kill the messenger. Pride will force him to dig in, he'll cuss, you'll cuss, you'll trade "you've changed" insults, and the friendship will be ruined. Or...
b.) Say nothing. In which case he'll maybe marry her, pay off her credit card debt, have a couple of kids, turn his drinking from fun to sad, and emerge seven years later divorced and a shell of his former self.

Trump is not even a Republican or a conservative. If he is not a leftwing plant, he sure acts like it. Notice how convenient it is to try and tar and feather others with Trump.
They know Palin is the real thing and they will do anything to demote her.
Your right about Trump and Palin being nothing alike. Let me say it one more time (feels good to say it!) Trump is a bloated blowhard. Palin is a lady on a mission!
This guy is right! We *should* denounce Sarah Palin for being courageous, smart, witty, and right on virtually every issue. Washington would never recover from the shock of a Palin administration!
Might as well stop reading right there. If this “journalist” doesn't have a larger vocabulary than that he, she or it isn't worth my time.
It would be cool if smilies like that could be added to certain headlines. lol.
I don’t know anyone on the right. FReepers are ordinary Americans.
This effeminate liberal douche bag is the biggest Clown I have seen on CNN in a long time. He was on Client # 9’s show and asked insanely idiotic questions of other inconsequential asshats.
If anyone should apologize for anything, it should be that network for employing such useless propagandists.
I am delighted that Cain is ticked off. Let’s do more to enrage him.
If he wants a bunch of little compliant rubber stamps, then he should go over and join the dark side, if he hasn't already.
For the record, I still don't care for Donald Trump even though I appreciate his recent conversion of calling ObaMao and his media enablers to task. I loved Sarah Palin from the moment I met her and have seen nothing since to change my mind, although I realize she has imperfections which pale in contrast to her denouncers.
I am voting Trump.
So wait, his complaint is that Palin likes meat (and jokes about it) and flubbed a question about what newspapers she reads? And for that conservatives need to “denounce” her? Wow...
Trump is obviously a Left-wing ligthning rod. Get him out front, have him throw a bunch of kook attracting bombs. Let his veritas run out. Then start associating every other conservative out there with his now tarnished Name recognition.
From what I've seen of Sarah so far, I think she can over come it... But her timing is going to need to be exquisitely done.
You are an idiot.
And the Left should call for the impeachment of the poseur in the Oval Office. After you, Baladas.
Maybe idiot is a harsh term. How about “demagogue dupe”?
Sounds more accurate as well. Thank you for the correction.
This guy’s “conservative friend” sounds a lot like who Colonic Katie refers to when she says “some people say”...
I categorically denounce all RINO’s and establishment “conservative” gatekeepers.
