So proud of Sarah Palin this morning on Good Morning America, where the media (Mat Lauer) tried to corner her on her son, the issue of PTSD and his behaviour. She rightly called him out on TV saying that she was told this was about the Iowa caucus and her support for Donald Trump. Lauer tried several times to steer her towards his aganda, and she called him out, and admonished him that this was not what she was promised by the producers would be the topic of conversation. Rather she commented on the military being allowed to do what they were trained to do, and not become political fodder...Good for you Sarah Palin!!!
Sounds like TPDS to me.
(Trump-Palin Derangement Syndrome)
Well why come to this thread?
She didn’t have to politicize it.
I erred, it is TODAY...sorry
Won’t see much......................
Thank You, she is back on right now on TODAY...
Sarah Palin is dead to me.Ted Cruz is dead to me.
Ted Cruz was dead to me when he signed Corker, which is by far way worse than anything Sarah Palin could have ever done and always will be.
How, exactly, was her support for Trump and opening for personal questions about her family?
In the very unlikely event that you’re inclined to think beyond a Donald Trump sound bite:
If one were to accept Trump’s originalist view (not that he even knows it’s an originalist view, mind you) on the issue of whether Cruz is a natural born American citizen, an American Indian would/will NEVER be eligible for the office of president. The originalist view holds that the meaning and intent of the term natural born can only be derived from the original text of the constitution (Section 1, Article 2), and NOT by subsequent legislation. The problem is that neither the constitution, nor the Federalist Papers, nor any of the framers’ individual writings identify or even refer to the intended meaning of the term natural born.
Thus, using Trump’s argument, since American Indians were not conferred citizenship until passage of the Indian Citizenship Act in 1924, they are not natural born citizens. Is that Trump’s opinion? Is it yours? Does anyone in their right mind believe that a federal court is going to make a decision that drastic and with such far-reaching implications - all of which go well beyond Ted Cruz?
What continues to bother me and many others about this debate over the meaning of natural born is the fact that Senator Cruz has never denied or attempted to obfuscate the fact that he was born in Canada of an American mother and Cuban father. That is not the case with Obama, wherein virtually everything about his past has been lied about, concealed or purposefully obfuscated, but somehow the meaning of natural born is now an issue to Donald Trump and many of his followers. If Donald Trump were genuinely concerned about the issue, wouldn’t he have filed suit to compel Obama to prove that he is a natural-born citizen?
thanks
Palin ROCKED. When will they learn.....don't mess with Mama Bear. She DEFENDS her cubs!
I am honestly concerned there is a quid pro quo for this deal. I hope not.
Trump fans are already insufferable. I remember the good ole days when FR was a conservative site that supported conservative candidates not liberal New Yorkers who defend socialized healthcare and attack good conservatives on the issue using left-wing straw man arguments.
As is everyone else who disagrees on your choice of a POTUS candidate, no doubt.
i remember georgie-daddy being interviewed live on the cbs evening news by dan rather and the same thing happened. prior to that people doubted GHWB had the cajones to be president, but after he shredded ole danny boy, people saw for themselves. and he got elected
Matt Lauer fits the “noxious twit” profile perfectly.
Just finished watching her second interview, Matt Lauer nowhere to be found, this was a very good interview, they stayed on topic, asked respectful questions, variety of topics...well done.
With Republicans like you who needs Democrats.
Well, because HERE he can get all the attention he wants by making a negative comment.
If he went to one of the few CRUZ threads, few would even notice his presence.
