Palin endorses Trump: No-one will be more visibly filled with elitist too-cute-by-half smarm than FOX's
Megyn Kelly, or Nicole Wallace, or Kathleen Parker. And no-one will be more visibly filled with
rabid hatred than the same Wall Street cocktail class GOPe crew...
The same professional political class (GOPe) voices who accused Donald Trump of sexism, misogyny and
vitriol, will now be baited to the surface to expose their sexism, misogyny, vitriol and elitism. Watch...
There are trillions at stake, and the endorsement of Sarah Palin identifies a very specific strategy.
Donald Trump will campaign for office, Sarah Palin will campaign against the GOPe “establishment†– and
provide cover for Trump to run for office...
In order to get past Palin, they will have to deploy the same attack approach against her they used in
2008/09, only this time Palin has the benefit of experience. She can call them out, as she began to do in Iowa today...

It's also the way the Libs attack Conservatives on a daily basis. IQ doesn't mean much if there is no common sense involved. In my career I have seen highly educated engineers and others that were dumber than a box of rocks when it came to real life. Sarah is very intelligent. She is outspoken, has common sense, and is the perfect attack dog for Trump.

Do you like this verbal delivery?
Sarah Palin: Trump
What a hoot to watch pundits clutching their pearls and whimpering for smelling salts aghast over the latest “shocking” thing Donald Trump said, while The Donald ignores them and continues to soar. Silly kingmakers just don’t know what to make of this. Well, we do!
The elites are shocked by Trump’s dominance, but everyday Americans aren’t. Everywhere I’ve gone this summer, including motorsport events in Detroit full of fed up Joe Six-Pack Americans, the folks I meet commiserate about wussified slates of politicians, but then unsolicited, they whisper their appreciation for Trump because he has the guts to say it like it is.
Trump’s unconventional candidacy is a shot in the arm for ordinary Americans fed up with the predictable poll tested blather of squishy milquetoast career politicians who campaign one way and govern another. But it’s not just how Trump says it, it’s what he’s saying.
Trump has tapped into America’s great populist tradition by speaking to concerns of working class voters. He talks about fighting to bring back our factories. When was the last time a candidate talked passionately about reclaiming our manufacturing base (and knew what he was talking about)? What other candidate chooses American workers over the multinational corporations donating to their campaigns? Who other than Trump is talking about the dangerous trade deficits deindustrializing America and stealing our jobs? The old Arsenal of Democracy that allowed us to win World War II is now such a distant memory that we can’t even build the parts for our own military equipment—we need China to manufacture them for us. How can a great nation maintain its greatness without a manufacturing base? Or without secure borders for that matter?
Trump focused in on two major populist grievances: the loss of working class jobs due to awful trade agreements, and the unfair competition for those jobs—along with security threats—due to the flood of illegal immigrants pouring across unsecured borders.
Now throw in Trump’s candor about “winning” and you understand why his message catches fire. As General Patton said, “Americans play to win all the time.” But those of us outside the Beltway can see that America isn’t winning. Our enemies laugh at us. Our friends can’t rely on us. China is outpacing our military superiority. Putin thumbs his nose at us. ISIS seizes territory our sons and daughters fought and died to liberate. Iran gloats over the idiotic and ultimately catastrophic nuclear deal the White House caved on. Our friends in Israel shake their heads at our betrayal.
Trump diagnoses our problems as incompetent leadership. Who can argue with that? How many politicians promised to secure our borders? So, why aren’t they secured? How many politicians promised to grow American jobs? So, why did they vote for Obamatrade? Is it any wonder that Americans are telling status quo politicians, “You’re fired”?
For everyday Americans the beauty of Trump’s candidacy is that he’s not a politician. There’s hope the guy who wrote “The Art of the Deal” can finally close the deal on all the broken promises of career politicians. Maybe the man who actually builds things, big things, can rebuild America’s entrepreneurial spirit with government put back in its proper place.
The average American doesn’t ask for much. We want security and the freedom to prosper. Many politicians are now offering solutions for security, but what about our prosperity? Trump boasts about his wealth, and average Americans cheer him on. This is the secret the chattering classes will never get. Americans don’t begrudge wealth honestly earned. We celebrate it! Trump made his money the old fashioned way with brick and mortar. He built big buildings and proudly stamped his name on them. He actually created jobs—lots of them. Like so many great American entrepreneurs, Trump has the flair of a showman but the sensibilities of an ordinary guy. He may be a billionaire, but refreshingly, there’s nothing elitist about him. He’s saying to the average Joe, “I worked hard and I succeeded and I want you to also.” That’s the fabric of our national character woven by work ethic and dreams and drive. That’s America!
It’s no surprise pundits and politicos are determined to destroy a candidacy they can’t control or shape with their mere words. Expect marginalization of anyone speaking well of Trump’s efforts. He’s a threat to the permanent political class. Non-traditional candidates always are because when they’re in touch with the people, they show their guts and just do the right thing. They go rogue—and take flak from all sides. Some of us have the scars to prove that.
Thankfully, Americans are on to the media’s games. The politics of personal destruction has lost its shock value. We have serious problems in this country. Ferreting through old divorce records and playing gotcha with past misstatements are just stupid distractions. Shouts of, “But he donated to Democrats!” won’t sway Trump enthusiasts. The man built a skyscraper in New York City—of course, he had donated to Democrats. If he was building it in Salt Lake City, I’m sure he would have donated to Republicans. “But he changed his mind on positions!” Reagan had been an FDR Democrat. Should we hold that against him or be grateful he saw the light?
Itty-bitty pundits thinking it’s clever to mock Americans’ opinions are finding the joke is on them. Cozy in their seat of judgment, blowing each others horns, protected by a glass screen. Ask yourself: just who ARE these windbags? And what do they build? Towers of paperclips? Lists of Twitter followers? Trump’s supporters are delightedly defying pithy prim “opinion makers” who think Americans are incapable of choosing our leaders without their dictates. The more the spotlight-seekers smear Trump, the more popular he gets. A friend emailed, “Tell those smart alecks bashing Trump on TV, ‘I love him because YOU hate him!’”
The GOP establishment would do well to listen to these voters and quit dismissing them. Reagan understood these blue-collar salts of the earth Americans. That’s why they gave him two landslide victories. If you want to win again, GOP, you need these good people.
Anticipate more battering and bashing storms around Trump. It’s still very early in the game; folks are keeping their powder dry with candidate support but are quite happy Donald Trump is in the race. More power to you, Donald. Here’s to “Making America Great Again”!
+10
I’ve been voting for 63 years, and I’m 100% confident Trump won’t keep 90% of his promises because he can’t promise what he can’t control.
In business your hands aren’t tied when you control the power of the purse. Are you suggesting Trump skip Congress, skip courts, and skip the rule of law and be a tyrant like el duce in the White Hut does now?
You are just regurgitating talking points spoon-fed to you by the GOPe and other elite. Please tell us why you think Sarah has a “low IQ”. Is it because she did not go to Harvard or Yale?
Sounds like a plan
There is a category of people who are “Idiots who don’t know they are idiots.” See if you are smart enough to apply the following.

Whimpering for smelling salts
Har!!!!!
Sarah Palin talks like a 5 year old and has a low IQ????? Better get a checkup for PDS?????
“Hillary will not be the candidate courtesy of Obama, Jarrett and the FBI. She is going down unfortunately. She is the most easily defeated.”
That is ALL TRUE. They see the same polls that we see and know she’s the weakest of the bunch. I sure hope Republicans are digging up dirt on the others, rather than being obsessed with Trump, since that’s not doing them any good.
The Palin endorsement was a brilliant move by Trump. It will benefit them both.
I prefer to listen to Sarah than to Rubio. Ask the guy what time it is and, as a response, he’ll give you a well-rehearsed stump speech.
The point is to not confuse a speech as a sign of intelligence. Rhetoric is speaking to be understood, not speaking to impress with fancy words. Palin uses tempo and rhyme to get the low IQ audience to follow along, not because she is low IQ.

Couldn't agree more. I listened to the first couple of minutes of her endorsement speech last night and it sounded to some brain-dead valley girl...
Here’s a thought: maybe Trump has Palin in mind for a VP pick. Wouldn’t that be a shocking turn of events.
I thought she was doing a Tina Fey impression.
Trump looked uncomfortable.
talk about a low I. Q. look in the mirror (sic).
It’s not so much what I am saying as it is what he has been saying.
How much of this was he saying two years ago? His only track record on these issues is his statements. Less than a year ago, he still wanted to move Obamacare to the next step - single payer.
