Sarah Palin's Endorsement Speech
My Fetid Mind | January 19th, 2016 | Mariner

Posted on 01/19/2016 4:41:32 PM PST by Mariner

I just finished watching Sarah Palin's endorsement of Donald Trump and I have some observations.

Sarah Palin is a rhetorical genius. Like her or not, she's really good at political rhetoric.

And, I hope Trump is PAYING her, she's worth $5mil a month during the primaries so hopefully he'll be paying her at least $3mil/month.

This endorsement matters. She bring more "blue collar" credibility and conservative "good enough" to put all other GOP challengers back on their heels looking for life support.

This endorsement likely is the death knell for the Cruz campaign. I think it now means Trump will win Iowa, something I was sure he had locked up. I even contended aggressively with fellow Freepers on this matter. I considered it an illusion that anyone besides Cruz could win Iowa, but now I believe it will be Trump.

And Sarah Palin will be the reason.

Without Iowa, Cruz has no campaign.

Flame away, but do as well as you can to keep it civil.

You are hung up on the label Conservative. What exactly does it mean? Someone who can vote with the cheap labor express and back illegals remaining in the U.S. just not citizens? Does it mean someone who alleges one day he is not eligible for the presidency, but then changes his mind and says he is?
Someone who destroys the senates voice on the Iran Teaty and blames it on someone else. Someone who willfully lies about “settled law?” Frankly, what we need now is NOT just another lawyer politician, but someone who has put his own money on the line to achieve success, not the tax payers money. I like the line someone posted last night, Trump signs the front of the checks, Cruz signs the back.

Funny stuff. I’d bet after a few months Trump would fire her.

But Ted Cruz loves Palin. Is Ted a bad judge of character?

In this case, no more than I was. I was surprised by Palin's choice because Trump is a confirmed moderate leftist. Look at his past -- I did.

How about Trump when he had such effusive warm praise for Hillary and Bill Clinton -- not general in-passing praise, but warm, effusive specific praise, in 2008? Now he says Hillary is so corrupt she shouldn't be allowed to run, so GeaugaRepublican,

YOU tell ME ...

Is Trump a bad judge of character?

About the 29 anti Palin/Trump posts after 10 years of silence. NICE FRICKIN CATCH, MAN!


Well, thanks~probs my first.

Very disappointing though because yesterday I posted that I highly doubted a long-time freeper could be a troll, and in less than 24 hours, I proved myself wrong :(

"but sometimes a t—ll is just a t—ll."

I get that. Trolls don't last long, usually.

I'm on a crazy endeavor to get Cruz and Trump advocates to focus their attacks on the candidates and stop responding as if the attack was on them personally.

That's why I said something and I apologize if I caused offense or embarrassment.

Lookin' for help, one Freeper at a time.

Not at the time it wasn't. I was trying to hear what she had to say.

I bet she could break the glass like in that old Memorex commercial.

I wouldn't want to the boy on the receiving end of her wrath when she gets home.

Hope it all works out.

Trump/Cruz....or lose.

Well Palin’s plan is to shut the Dept of Energy down. She said she wouldn’t hold the job long.

I think Palins endowment is great.

Agreed! She is certainly well endowed. I wish I still had that "I'm not flat busted" pic of her.

You tell me.

Would Cruz have turned down her endorsement had she offered
it to him?

Meh. I think this puts Trump over the top in the primaries, and you won’t hear much from Palin in the general election campaign. No effect on the blue collar / Reagan Democrats, they’ll still vote for Trump.

**Independents hate Sarah Palin**

On the other hand, they seem to like Trump.

Also, recently the MSM has started to love on Trump (dewey-eyed Megyn and Kraut come to mind). The MSM has always hated Sarah.

McCaniac never spoke out for Sarah when she was trashed by his team. Recently he was dissed big time by Trump, yet Sarah endorses Trump in spite of it!

Now what are they all gonna do? Heads are indeed exploding!!
