Sarah Palin stands with Donald Trump, comes out swinging
CNN Politics ^ | July 31, 2015 | Jeremy Diamond

Days after Donald Trump talked up the idea of putting Sarah Palin in his administration, the former Republican vice presidential candidate and tea party favorite is showing she's got Trump's back.

Palin wrote Friday on the conservative Breitbart news site that Trump's candidacy will continue to appeal to "ordinary Americans" despite what she described as a bludgeon of attacks from GOP elites, pundits and the media.

Calling Trump's candidacy "a shot in the arm for ordinary Americans fed up with the predictable poll-tested blather of squishy milquetoast career politicians," Palin argued that Trump's style and message is appealing to voters and that he is tapping into "major populist grievances."

And Palin also defended Trump from criticism that is bubbling up in certain conservative circles that Trump's flip-flops on key conservative issues prove he is not a true conservative.

"'But he changed his mind on positions!'" Palin wrote, echoing recent criticisms. "Reagan had been an FDR Democrat. Should we hold that against him or be grateful he saw the light?"

Palin also defended Trump's contributions to Democratic campaign coffers, arguing in the same way Trump has that those donations are the cost of business in the largely liberal city of New York....

Perceptive and articulate.

The GOPe has to go. I no longer think it can be done from within.

Trump.. Cruz.. Palin.. the Tea Party and those elected because of it..

The nucleus of a much needed new party?

This is the year for a 3rd party win. The Dems cannot find a solid candidate. Neither is Jeb, and that’s who the Pub elite are going to shove down our throats.

So... This time around a strong 3rd party candidate can win.

So do I. Decisions, decisions.

“In the United States today, we have more than our share of nattering nabobs of negativism. They have formed their own 4-H club — the hopeless, hysterical hypochondriacs of history.”
