Palin Responds To Fox News Chief Saying She Had ‘No Chance’ Of Becoming President
Talking Points Memo ^ | April 13, 2012 | David Taintor

Posted on 04/13/2012 6:17:27 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

Sarah Palin, in an interview with Breitbart News, responded to Fox News chief Roger Ailes’ remark that she “had no chance” of becoming president.

Palin called the Fox executive’s comment “interesting.” She continued:

I haven’t heard all of his remarks, but I wonder if he is aware that the same thing was said about me when I ran for city council, mayor, and eventually governor. No doubt many people who are told they can’t do something will work that much harder, and they succeed. Maybe you guys should send him a copy of Steve Bannon’s The Undefeated. The theme of Steve’s film isn’t about me, but about the idea of not letting others dictate one’s path in life and never giving up when you’re fighting for something precious like our exceptional nation and our children’s futures. So, would you send a copy of The Undefeated to him?

Mediaite reached out to Fox News, and received this response from Ailes:

“When I hired most of the Republican contributors, none of them had any immediate prospects of becoming President —I wasn’t referring to any of their long-term prospects, including Governor Palin. I hired all of them because they made for good television at the time. Sarah Palin is young and nobody can predict the future.”

Fox has only one possible choice for president.

An influential person in my life told me I’d never be a good guitarist because my handspan was to small. Guess what?

When she runs for president in 2016 and wins, she’ll show him.

Why does she let him get under her skin?

Make that 2012 in a brokered convention!

Is Faux News committing suicide on purpose or are they just stupid? I don’t get it. They are mass producing customer dissatisfaction.

Connect the DOTS to backstabber Bishop Romney
and his team of posers.

Fox News chief Roger Ailes ----> Chris Wallace RomneyBOT

Fox News chief Roger Ailes ----> Hyper-biased FOX NEWS ProRomney Panel on Sundays

Fox News chief Roger Ailes ----> McGinniss has been friends with Roger Ailes for 44 years

Conclusion: SMELLS LIKE MITT

There was something that convinced Palin not to run after all the groundwork and infrastructure she and her paid consultants laid down over the summer. I’m convinced it was her high unfavorables.

The difference between her and Newt is that Palin is an intelligent person who knows when there’s nothing to be gained from running a losing campaign. Newt ignored his high unfavorables and wound up in debt. That’s why Palin might someday be president and Newt never will.

Both may be POTUS.

The problem is Romney exists only to make Obama
pRes_ _ent. Romney is ineligible like Obama
and supports ObamaCARE/RomneyCARE.

The GOP has NO chance with Bishop Romney.

Of course not, but you may find it is better to let people figure that out on their own. It seems a lot of folks are not ready to accept the political realities in front of them yet and are hanging on to things like the "brokered convention" fantasy. The general election campaign has already begun and most everyone will accept this fact over the course of the next month or two.
