TRUMP is going to announce his endorsement for PALIN's candidacy!
No matter how sophisticated we may think we are, Donald Trump dropping 'F-bombs' in a public speech is a turn-off to most people. You don't have to be a sensitive evangelical to feel uncomfortable and a bit embarrassed that he is posing as a 'conservative Republican' while doing this. I expect Trump will be flaming out soon. However, if Trump continues to be an animated characterization of a rich, crass Republican that issues fierce (but empty) threats to other nation's leaders, his endorsement of Sarah Palin might do her more harm than good. I'm not a conspiracy fan but that could be his intent. Who knows?
The left is on the ropes and scared poopless of Palin who is the antithesis of leftist ideology, which is why she is hated by the left. Her popularity and natural charisma are why the attacks on Palin never stop, even to attempting to claim her special needs child is not her own. The GOP elitists want a nice, safe yawner like Romney to politely lose to Obama and retain the Beltway status quo. Sarah Palin threatens all that so she is attacked by the left and, to some extent, the 'right'. Trump alieniating voters with his crassness and bully-boy attitude dropping out and endorsing Palin would give the left a brush to smear Palin with, contending that she is 'just like Trump'; a boorish bully, blah, blah, blah. Palin for her part, couldn't flat-out reject Trump's endorsement but would be forced to qualify her acceptance and distance herself from his rantings. A problem she doesn't need. So, I would just as well Donald Trump bow out (soon) and not endorse anyone. It's been fun - but we have to get serious about the 2012 election and Trump is just going to get in the way.
