Speaking on behalf of Donald Trump, Sarah Palin gave a speech last night to a Wisconsin Republican audience. Standing firmly on a platform of truth, Palin warned the mostly party (establishment) audience their decision to stand with deception in order to win an election also means placing themselves in a very precarious position.
The response from the audience to Sarah’s brutal honesty was what’s customarily known as “the collective nervousness of deceivers“.
Whenever anyone dares to tell the collective: ‘the emperor stands naked’; there’s a particular kind of autonomic group nervousness immediately evident. A group discomfort.
Such was the discomfort when Sarah Palin mentioned Senator Ted Cruz’s weak and opportunistic immigration position, and then contrast a real-life example of Cruz going to McAllen Texas (Saturday, July 19th 2014) to hand out “gift baskets” and welcome illegal alien families.
You could hear a pin-drop as an entire audience sat jaw-agape in disbelief.
So Sarah Palin brings some BIG TRUTH to those GOP insiders who gathered in Wisconsin; and, if we are to give benefit-of-the-doubt to those who heard it, apparently it’s the first time they became aware of Senator Cruz’s forked tongue on an issue. Hence, a gob smacked response.
Palin also pointed out another lie, when she reminded everyone that Senator Cruz never stopped the senate Gang-of-Eight amnesty bill. Despite Lyin’ Ted claiming on the campaign trail that he killed the bill, the reality is that bill passed the Senate in 2013, and it would have passed the House were it not for Dave Brat’s primary defeat of Eric Cantor in June of 2014 shortly before Sentor Cruz took off to the border with his gift baskets.
But Sarah didn’t stop there. She also fearlessly told the audience that Senator Ted Cruz was also lying about another policy aspect, his advocacy for the Trans-Pacific Trade Deal. And, more specifically, to the Trade Promotion Authority bill Senator Ted Cruz co-authored, co-planned and co-constructed, along with Paul Ryan in the House of Representatives. Again, Sarah was loaded with the truth.
The Republican disbelievers didn’t want to hear about that inconvenient reality either. Then again, when you stand boldly in sunlight the cockroaches never approach; they can only comfortably co-exist when they remain cloistered in the dark shadows of deception.
The media’s response to Palin’s speech? Well, initially (and immediately) they began accusing her of lying about the “gift baskets”. Then, after they realized everything she was saying was factual, they started spinning. Eventually, they dropped the subject – and that’s probably how it will remain today.
It’s easier to hide those uncomfortable truths that way. Well, at least until after the Tuesday election I guess.
Here’s Sarah’s bold and truthful speech:
Did Palin tell the whole truth?
(excerpts)
Ted Cruz will visit the crucial border juncture of McAllen, Texas, then appear at an event with Glenn Beck, soaking up the media spotlight as he pushes a hardline plan to crack down on deferred action for some young immigrants.
... Cruz says the best way to turn back the influx of children at the borders seeking a “permiso” — or asylum in the United States — is to eliminate any expansion of Obama’s Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program. The firebrand Republican will hold a press conference after touring the Rio Grande Valley Centralized Processing Center and receiving a briefing from border officials.
...“The staggering conditions that children are being subjected to are a direct result of the amnesty that President Obama illegally and unilaterally enacted in 2012, which caused the number of unaccompanied minors to skyrocket,” Cruz said on Thursday in introducing his bill. “The only way to stop the border crisis is to stop President Obama’s amnesty.”
... But not everyone is cheered by Cruz’s attack on DACA, particularly those who have been supportive of comprehensive immigration reform. Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) said in a Thursday interview that “it would be incredibly disruptive to try to repeal” DACA now, even though he disagrees with the way Obama implemented a policy that Rubio believes contributed to the border’s inundation with young children.
I don't support half truths and misrepresentations. Cruz was one of only a few in Congress who was fighting Obama's DACA amnesty. His point was to show that the best way to eliminate what was going on at the border was to stop Obama's DACA.
Palin isn't "truth telling".
Yes it is true. I know they shouldn’t be here. But there are kids coming here without parents.
The only whole truth is “all talk, no action”.
As I said.
The proof Teb is a Globalist is his record, as partly listed by Sarah Palin in this video.
I particularly liked how Sarah used the words cockroach and cockroaches to describe lying Teb and those who lie for him.
Logical fallacy: Ad hominem.
But then again, when you can’t argue with the content of the speech, what else is there to do but attack the messenger?
Sarah getting a standing ovation last night in Wisconsin at the Serb Hall speech.
That audience didn’t seem to get it either and just plain bored. Maybe Palin is ready for SNL and do a TINA FAYE imitation.
That is one of the Trump campaign’s biggest failures - not making enough TV or Radio ads and not enough hard hitting, counter attacking ads.
Ads highlighting Cruz’s previous support of amnesty/higher legal immigration, showing video of Cruz handing out gifts to illegals crossing the border in 2014 or his support for disastrous trade deals like Obamatrade would be devastating.
Sorry, I don’t use the National Enquirer as my basis for fact...
If I did the aliens which impregnanted all those celebrities would already be our overlords...
Here is a whole truth in the form of an unedited, unredacted Cruz tweet:
9:37 AM - 19 Jun 2013
We need to secure the border. Any bill this body passes should have border security first & then legalization. Not the other way around.
Her content was disingenuous.
Spouting the same empty platitudes Trump does, without a single solution to a single problem.
It was like a Trump-Lite speech... Pathetic.
The NE was not used as a source in my post: I commented as to when is Lyin’ Ted going to provide proof that Trump was not behind the NE article, as Lyin’ Ted has claimed on multiple occassions since the edition appeared.
Because he has not for over a week.
If you cannot back up a claim with proof, then you be lyin’.
“It’s all a patchwork of irrational fear and ignorant assumptions with no substance to it whatever…”

Be sure to watch the clip.
My wife and I (unfortunately) wasted a 3 day weekend to drive and see her speak back in 2011 in Iowa.
It was an inspired and engergetic speech which caused the 2k-3k+ to go wild while standing in the rain...
This, this was pathetic.
She has fallen FAR from where she was...
There is literally nothing going on anywhere except here and Twitter. That's it.
The DUmp is a shadow of its former self, no fun to be had there; POS is DED; Facebook is a ridiculous playground of thumbs up the junction, run by a psychotic; these Berniekidz do WhatsApp or Kik; Cankles people walk around with an unread NYT under their arm, as a signal to meet in the stalls; and Tedlims come here for their daily dose of abuse.
Riddle for Huldah:
Why are there no/zero photos of Cruz handing out teddy bears and soccer balls to young, heart-string-tugging sympathy-engendering unaccompanied children?
I know the answer.
Do you?
One can believe what they want. I'm not going to argue it either way. Cruz is currently clearly for no legalization amnesty.
Did Sarah point out that Trump was for a legalization amnesty without deportations for the non criminals with maybe a citizenship amnesty later? That was his position thru late July 2015.
And then after that, he says he wants deportations for all, but that he would expedite the good ones back?...which is a legalization amnesty.
Yes. I watched this live-streamed last night. It was powerful; her message was clear and it cut to the core. The audience was drawn and locked. They heard truth and whether that sways them or not depends on who they are.
