I no longer view Sarah Palin as mainstream Republican; I believe that she’s an outsider and will stay that way. After what she did to some Republican good old boys as Gov., I don’t think that the Republican establishment would want her in their country club.
She’s doing just fine where she is. She can throw her influence at any candidate she wishes and we will listen to her. If there ever is a viable third party, be it electable or influential, it will start with Sarah Palin.
Palin is the model for the new GOP to replace the rotted carcase of the present one.
It will soon be time (high time) to eliminate the R party insider/elites/professionals.
They are actually a worse enemy than the Dems - because of their complicity/cowardice etc, we have no opposition to the Dems. There’s merely the Dems, and the farm team.
