Is Sarah Palin Too Toxic for 2016?
American Thinker ^ | 01/26/2015 | Lloyd Marcus

Posted on 01/26/2015 7:50:39 AM PST by SeekAndFind

Sarah Palin saying “Of course” she's interested regarding running for the presidency in 2016 has people buzzing. During that interview, Palin said we need a candidate who is ready for Hillary. I agree. Romney would be Mr. Nice Guy/gentleman unwilling to attack the girl.

As for Palin running, a woman wrote: “I have never given up on her (Sarah Palin). I am sooooooo hoping that she will be our spokesperson. My husband says the press and Obama have tainted her so much that it would be impossible for her to run. I say that 'with God, all things are possible.”

To this woman, I say, “Right on sister!” No offense to her husband, but I find his mindset frustrating. We complain that there are far too few politicians with the cojones to push back against Obama's unprecedented arrogance, lawlessness and tyranny. Despite their newly acquired control over the House and Senate, the GOP appears to be attempting to pull the wool over our eyes regarding amnesty. In their Spanish language response to Obama's SOTU, the GOP brought up immigration, desiring to “create permanent solutions” without mentioning immigration in the English version. What is up with that?

So tell me folks, how many politicians on our side truly are who they say they are; standing up for our principles and values – fighting for freedom and the Constitution? We lament that many politicians on our side are obsessed with winning an approving pat on the head from the MSM; reduced to political impotence. Oh if only there was a little blue pill for dysfunctional Republicans/conservatives.

Sarah Palin drives the Left insane.

There can be no higher recommendation.

Ted Cruz is smarter than Palin and relates better than Palin. If she gets in after Cruz, one has to wonder whose stalking horse she is playing.

I like Palin but her resigning as gov. of Alaska was a political poison bill.

And what does that say about her criticism of other elected officials not having the guts to fight?

IMO she is not a serious candidate.

Of course she is too toxic. Half of the mentally impaired voters in this country still get their political news from comedy central and don’t know the difference between Palin and Tina Fey. I’m not saying it’s right, I’m just saying how it is. The left destroyed this woman with deception, she was a very real threat to them.

The only people she is "toxic" to are ones who would never vote Republican anyway.

All she has to do is announce that she's running and the whole thing changes...

After the DNC won with “O” (king of the idiot, inexperienced, toxic, corrupt, ineligible clowns) the words ‘impossible’ and ‘toxic’ have been yanked from the English dictionary and they certainly have NO relevance in the world of US politics!

If anyone wants to know where Palin fits in the Conservative universe, all they have to do is watch what happens if she'd announce her candidacy!!

We need to gain control of the word extreme.

Palin and Cruz are not extreme.

The house republicans who blocked a ban on late term abortions are extremists.

Yep. Wasn't fair, but it was what it was. They thoroughly Quayled her.

I agree.

I also think it is becoming obvious that Sarah Palin is destined to be president eventually. That will be a great time for America, because I know she will lead a great revival to retake the country for God.

The more talk I hear about her not having a chance, not being a strong candidate, the more I know how scared the left and the RINO’s are of her.

I see it more as America is too toxic for Palin. Ditto Cruz. The country as a whole just isn’t worthy of the kind of leadership they would bring.

Sarah Palin is the only candidate who BOTH sees through the GOPe AND can reach the white working class (and former white middle class). Describing these groups as "conservative" is kind of inaccurate - in some ways they are, in some ways they are not.

But believing that they will vote for a President whose wife works for Goldman Sachs is plain crazy, IMO.

If the Uniparty grip on power can be broken peacefully (which I doubt), only a candidate like Our Lady of Wasilla can do it.

Why are conservatives accused of not wanting a "permanent solution to immigration"?

The current situation is intolerable and we do want a solution. It just doesn't include unlimited amnesty and open borders.

She could run interference for Ted Cruz. It wouldn’t cost much money because the DBM would give her all the TV, and Press time she would need. Then she drops out, Cruz gets elected and appoints Palin to his Cabinet.

Palin’s best chance to run was in 2012, by her not running conservatives were left with a thin field in that race and Romney got nominated. While I would have vigorously have supported her running two years ago, I have moved on to a guy like Ted Cruz who is fighting on the congressional front lines, has less media baggage to overcome and is a fresh face. If Palin gets the nod fine, I would actively support her and endorse her campaign, but I just can’t take her attempts at a candidacy seriously after the tease fest she pulled in 2010/2011.

Reagan was too toxic too. Never ever heard of a Democrat being too extreme, only Conservatives.

Pray America is waking

Todd is not a Managing Director at Goldman Sachs.

Is it unfair to bring this up? You betcha.

Do I think the Democrats are taping the "Mr. Goldman Sachs" ads already? It is a certainty.

Life's unfair. Politics ain't beanbag.

I have yet to hear a credible explanation of what Senator Cruz plans to do about his wife's career, and maybe there is one.

I just can't think of it.
