There’s no Trump without Palin: Meghan McCain scolds conservatives for backing Trump
salon ^

Posted on 05/06/2016 11:35:22 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Donald Trump’s coronation as the GOP nominee will present plenty of opportunities for Republican amnesia and short-sightedness. The easiest thing to do, if you’re a conservative Republican, is to dismiss Trump as an aberration, as if his candidacy emerged out of a whirlwind. But that’s the work of revisionist historians, not honest observers of the last decade of Republican politics.

Consider this recent tweet by Meghan McCain, the daughter of John McCain and now a commentator for Fox News:

I hope history remembers those who gave up their conservative principles for the cult of personality and celebrity. And those who didn’t.

— Meghan McCain (@MeghanMcCain) May 3, 2016

The myopia here is staggering. Although she didn’t respond, I asked Meghan if she remembers an obscure, half-forgotten figure named Sarah Palin? I asked because, in so many ways, there is no Trump without Palin. Palin was Trump before Trump. The rambling incoherence, the vacuousness, the reality TV theatrics, the ghastly marriage of ignorance and confidence – Palin brought this to national politics long before Trump did.

If her father was not a Traitor for his highly questionable actions in Hanoi, he sure is after his cavorting with ISIS bigwigs in Syria.

Meaghan McCain should look to her own house first.

No, we think personality and celebrity can’t be worse than the lying, thieving bait & switch GOPe that we have now.

Meg-ham McCain should be suspended from the Fox "Outnumbered" panel till her old man loses his primary....or add a relative of his primary opponent to the panel when she's on.

"Equal Time Law", in my opinion.

Donald Trump is Sarah Palin’s payback to the Republican Establishment.

Hey, Meghan, in the primary, your old man is going DOWN!

And for once, he won’t be going down on a democrat.

As much as I loathe Salon and everything they stand for, it is a pure pleasure and deep comfort to know that sweet Sarah is still living rent-free in their tortured pin-heads!

TRUMP 2016!

Right on, KC - I just saw Yeb Bush claim he will not vote for Trump, either. I’ve pulled the lever 4 times for that stinking bunch for prez and will regret those votes forever. Slimy globalist neocon elitist bastards - and their filthy women, too. Argghh.

I think there is a correlation between the establishment types like john McCain, Romney and Lindsey grahams betrayal of Sara Palin and the disdain for Trump it is the same group of people that decided to use Sara Palin and then when there candidate John McCain did not get the presidency they viciously attacked her out of fear of what she represented. when I look at what happen after the 20008 election I see that as my wake up that the republican party was in the control of people that did not have my interests at heart. I want to see any establishment republican drummed out of politics who does not support the nomination.

Consider this recent tweet by Meghan McCain, the daughter of John McCain and now a commentator for Fox News:

Let's not, how this McCain broad made it onto Fox is beyond me.

Why don't they start referring to her as the "Maverick Meghan McCain" like they did to her old man for eight years until he was shot down again in November of 2008, never again to be referred to as the "Maverick John McCain"........
