Would you support Sarah Palin should she decide to run for the presidency in 2016?
Let's see. How does she compare to my litmus checks:
What's not to like?
Oh, yeah. That thing about not reading newspapers and also seeing Russia from her house. That's just too dumb to be true. /s
Well, but she did resign from her office, so I guess that's one thing not to like. But they all have at least one thing not to like. How does she compare on all the major conservative issues?
And the left absolutely hates her.
And Tokyo Rove and the GOP-e absolutely despises her.
But tea party conservatives like her. A lot!
And so do I.
How about you?
Are you ready to turn this country around with an honest to God pro-life, pro-family, pro-gun, God-loving, America-loving patriot and grassroots conservative favorite who we can all be proud of and for whom we will work overtime for a change?
Only if she announces earlier than any candidate ever has. Her fan dance routine really soured me.
Yes. My first choice, actually.
However, we need a through cleaning out of the current GOP hierarchy so that Palin would have party support instead of the party doing everything they can to undermine her.
Following the coming 'train wreck' of Obamacare and the injury that will do to millions of Americans along with our already shaky economy, Sarah Palin would have a real shot at defeating Hillary 'what does it matter?' Rodman-Clinton. In addition, I'm confident that conservatives would crawl over broken glass to vote for her. Well, I would.
FALSE

YES!!!!!
Short answer, no.
Absolutely YES!
Well yes. ‘Should she decide’. That’s going to be the hard part.
SarahFest over here . . .
She knows the GOP-e despises her.
If she makes a big move to personally campaign for many Conservatives in 2014, then you will know she is testing the waters for a serious run in 2016.
Her strategy in 14 will be to mainly go after the GOP-e in order to push "real" Conservatives against the RINOs. If that effort is successful, then she will move early to run.
However, we need a through cleaning out of the current GOP hierarchy so that Palin would have party support instead of the party doing everything they can to undermine her.
Does the left have a ton of dirt on the GOP-e? That’s the only explaination for 90% of their actions!
Most definitely.
I’d be for her 100% ,, and she’s already been schooled in RINO’s thanks to 2008 ... I’d love to see her clean house.
Roger That! I would vote for her in a heartbeat.
Here’s another comment.
The media onslaught against Palin was nothing personal.
In other words, they didn’t attack her because she wasn’t personally a likable person, or a competent person, or a decent person. She is all of the above.
They attacked her for her political views.
And anyone with similar political views is going to endure the same kind of onslaught from the same people.
Palin has been through it once already. I think it was a bit more vicious than she expected. Now she knows quite well what the game is, and (as W said) “This ain’t her first rodeo.”
For all of those reasons, she might well be the BEST qualified candidate to take these people on. If she decides to run, of course.
Yes.
I do not agree with her on everything but she is more right than wrong.
Without a doubt.
no doubt
Doesn’t matter if I would.
