From Sarah Palin to Donald Trump to Ben Carson, Republicans Just Can't Get Enough of obviously unqualified presidential contenders.

Nothing wrong with moving into a media gig, but if she's going to go that route she should be 'honest' about it ( ala Rush) and stop detracting from serious potential conservative candidates.
I would have thought their examples would be named Dole, McCain and Romney.
After Obama got elected, that bar has been really lowered.
Palin is clearly an intellectual lightweight - but so is the current occupier of the White House
I’d take Cain or Carson over anyone in the Democratic party in the past decade. They are business and medical powerhouses..smart and highly communicative. More political seasoning is the only downside for either. I don’t know how a supposed libertarian thinker like Gillespie dismisses anyone without a Washington pedigree. Where is his bash articles of Kerry, Dean or that doofus Biden? He’s a fraud, in my opinion after reading this piece.
Prepare for the onslaught of those who will tell you that Mrs. Palin is the greatest political thinker of our generation.
Folks are still reading Sarah Palin wrong.
She is advocating the taking back of America, a set of ideals seemingly lost in dilution and bastardization. That requires being in the public eye, and energizing the troops. Does she do what she does only for attention, or does she have a serious underlying message?
Governor Palin is out there busting trail through the snowdrifts, for those who will follow and set up permanent waystations later. But first, we must find the path back to where we once were, and after we establish the markers, we have to ensure they stay up and act as a beacon for others.
Exactly. He is the single least-qualified person to ever hold the office. We are paying for his "on-the-job training."
A huge part of the knock on Sarah Palin is due to her accent. Coming from a part of the country where people assume we are stupid because of how we sound, it’s ironic that I have to catch myself on this with Palin. She sounds like someone out of the movie Fargo. The test of this is to read her, as opposed to listening to her. It’s one of the reasons why the leftwing stories about her alleged stupidity always seem to fall flat. They report on what she said that was supposedly so stupid, we read it, and are left wondering what was so stupid. The other reason is that she is by no means stupid.
..... Republicans Just Can’t Get Enough of obviously unqualified presidential contenders.
*************************************
Evidently, the Democrats haven’t yet had enough of the most obviously unqualified person to ever be called “president” of the US. Of the Republicans just ‘mentioned’ for president, not a one is as unqualified as Obola (ruins/kills everything he touches). After Obola leaves the country in a smoking ruin, I suspect the ‘Rats will all still be inhaling the smoke and saying .... aaaahhhh.
Archaeologists will find that bar if they keep digging long enough
Oh, and the reason for pieces like this at Reason is that if they go too far on things like school choice and deregulation, their liberal hipster friends quit passing them the bong, and start whispering that they heard they might have said something racist one time.
The Democrat lineup is full of schmucks, too.
The only difference is they have an entire cadre of media sychophants keeping the public from finding out about it.
Unqualified Presidential contenders.Is the author crazy?or what.Its not as if the Republican candidates of the past were Einstiens but they beat the democrats in the intellect hands down.
The problem with the Republicans is that their intellect is so much greater than the a average votor so that knocks them right out of the concideration box as far as democrat cities are concerned.
Then they go and try to out democrat the democrat candidate and they lose the vote of the educated conservative votors.
Any one of our candidates is better on the issues than a democrat.
The problem with people like Gillespie is that MOST Conservatives take Palin a lot more seriously than they do Ron Paul and his Stormfront Buddies.
Gillespie is a Paultard Fanboi, which explains why he doesn’t like Palin, or any other Reagan Conservative.
the biggest schmuck is IN THE WHITE HOSUE... never held a real job, always employed as a political FAVOR, we know absolutely NOTHING of his education or if he even has a degree, HE IS DISBARRED, he is a habitual LIAR, he has aided and abetted the enemy during WAR...TRERASON.
Far as the people mentioned, they are 100 times more qualifieed thatn obama on a pure IQ basis, AND THEY WANT TO RESTORE THE constitution and bill of rights...
Clintoon hs never been SUCCESSFUL AT ANYTHINHG.... her foreign policy management has led us to the brink of world war3, and she stil ahs to reveal Benghazi facts that include arming al queda and standing down rescue forces...
Democrats have their own schmucks, Pelosi, Obama and Reid
I didn’t know being a career politician was a requirement for running for office. It would seem that we need the opposite. Hey, this is everyone’s chance to be the boss. Interview and scrutinize ALL candidates, and pick the winner.
All it takes is common sense and pride in your country.
Look what all the so called intellectuals have gotten this country into.
No more calls! We have a winner.
