Oh, THIS ought to be good for a few hundred posts...
I luv this Lady.
“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.””
Perceptive and articulate.
If Palin likes Trump, so can I.
I can and do like both Cruz and Trump.
Ted Cruz/Sarah Palin 2016
???
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.
I wish Rush would get paul shanklin to make a parody song about ‘Big Don, big bad Don...
WOW! That describes at least 90% of the GOP!
Yep.
She's no wallflower.
I hated the way McCain joined with the media to label Palin stupid. She was treated horribly - talk about a war on women.
Palin on Trump.
I love that Trump is running and am pulling for him because, as Sarah says, “he has the guts to say it like it is…Trump diagnoses our problems as incompetent leadership…For everyday Americans the beauty of Trump’s candidacy is that he’s not a politician.” YES!!!
But here, Palin, and Trump, and many others, fail to identify the root cause of our economic woe. Rather than first identifying root causes, Trump offers solutions based on symptoms and his solutions in this cases is more government interference of the free market. But government interference of the free market IS the root cause of our economic problems. As Reagan said, and is as true today as it ever was, “Government isn’t the solution, government is the problem.”
Trump.
I love Trump. He’s a breath of fresh air. He seems like the guy that we want to win and the guy to beat Hillary.
Trump and Tariffs.
He’s the right guy but when he talks about how “simple” it would be to tell Ford in Mexico, “Hey, every Ford you send us I will tax 35%”, that’s the wrong idea and the wrong message. Who suffers from that 35% tariff? THE AMERICAN CONSUMER and accordingly THE AMERICAN ECONOMY. The American consumer will have to pay 35% more to buy a Ford. People who like Ford are basically SOL. THAT IS NOT free trade and does NOT solve America’s economic woes, it make them worse.
The REAL economic root cause: the federal government.
Trump’s a good guy but economically, he’s pointing his guns in the wrong direction. The BIG PROBLEM economically in the country is the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT with their idiotic, mind-numbing, and economically disastrous regulations like minimum wage, corporate taxes, union protection, and regulatory agencies so pervasive it makes business in the U.S. almost impossible. The FEDERAL GOVERNMENT is the REAL SOURCE of manufacturing and jobs going out of the U.S. Trump is never going to fix our economy by raising taxes which is what a tariff is. Tariffs are self-defeating acts that force artificially high prices upon the American consumer and the feds pocket the difference. A healthy economy, thriving businesses and thus, more jobs, will come from LOWER TAXES and a market economy FREE of government interference.
Trump should know better. Maybe he was brainwashed by Keynesian economics at the Wharton School, I don’t know. But IMO, Trump should know better by now. He should know the difference between negotiating private deals in the free market and government interference in the free market. Free-market negations, like what Trump is used to in real estate, are great for the economy and drive for the creation of business and economic expansion and wealth. But tariffs are government interference in the free market, especially those used to “punish” trading partners. Government interference, like penalizing tariffs, drives an anemic economy, creates more poverty, and stifles free trade, and it is free trade that creates wealth in America.
Again, tariffs are no answer to our economic woes because tariffs do not address our underlying economic problem which is the federal government. Tariffs only APPEAR to fix the problem the way so may fall for the minimum wage and how that “appears” to fix the problem. Neither addresses the underlying economic problem and both make matters worse.
Trump and the Trade Deficit.
What does “trade deficit” mean? Oh, it’s used as an inflammatory phrase to scare people. But what is it? It simply means we are importing more than we are exporting. Why is that per se bad? You and I run our households that way. We have trade deficits every day because we buy more stuff then we sell. So what? In the voluntary cooperation for the market economy free of government interference there’s nothing wrong with “trade deficits” as long as there is open competition. It has been shown time & again that protectionist “help” from the feds dulls our competitive edge. Fighting hard for market share in the open competition of the free market economy creates innovation, better quality at lower cost, better choices for the consumer, and more wealth.
How did Hong Kong become one of the richest centers of commerce in the world. Was it because they exported more than they imported? Hardly. It is because there were no taxes and business was allowed to grow and thrive in the free market economic environment without government interference. How did America in the 1800’s grow to become the wealthiest, most powerful country in the world? Not because of government. It was because of the voluntary cooperation of the market economy free of government interference.
The gradual buildup of the federal government and its involvement and interference in the American economy since early 1900 is the reason for our economic woes today.
The federal government is a double-barreled shotgun aimed at America and Americans. The first barrel is most of what they do, especially economically, is patently unconstitutional. Unconstitutional federal acts are by definition acts of tyranny. The second barrel is the more the federal government interferes with the market economy, the more poverty and misery is created. Only the free market can create wealth. The government creates poverty. Every single government program designed to make America a “New Deal” or a “Great Society” has created more poverty, regulations, burdens on business driving costs higher and higher, while the federal government has become a bloated $4 trillion monster sucking productivity dry while not producing a thing.

Palin needs to stay out.
And the liberal heads explode yet again!
