Palin: We Need To Be Better, Not Bitter, As Trump’s Opponents Start Hopping On Our Bandwagon
Independent Journal ^ | July 25, 2016 | Sarah Palin

Posted on 07/25/2016 10:57:34 AM PDT by Resettozero

With Donald Trump securing the presidential nomination, the political narrative is shifting rapidly and revealingly. As you watch former haters hop aboard the Trump Train, it’s important to connect dots and understand my concern about a bunch of belated mea culpas with which we’ll now be inundated.

It’s important because time is short and lessons must be learned to avoid future catastrophic capture by status quo politicos.

Friends, my concern here is all about the attempted destruction of Trump SUPPORTERS over all these months. I’ve zipped my lips long enough; it’s time to call out those who’ve tried to destroy you.

Personally, since endorsing Trump, my family and I haven’t seen the level of hate and vitriol spewed our way since the 2008 McCain/Palin campaign. It’s been hellish. (Forgive my preaching to the choir though, as so many Trump supporters – and of course Trump himself – have been put through hell as well. And he ain’t seen ‘nuthin yet.)

From fair-weather friends and “supporters” turning decisively away in the meanest of ways, to me losing jobs – literally – the moment my support for Trump was made public, we sucked it up and hung on to hope that vindication was around the corner. I was told – for the umpteenth time – my career was over for “going rogue” this election cycle.

But the more people realize dirtiness on both sides of the aisle won’t be sanitized by today’s typical politicians, and the clearer voters see the ONLY candidate necessarily enlarging the tent with previously ignored patriots, and the smarter everyone gets about how to restore American exceptionalism, well…the more obvious the reason for sticking the ol’ neck out again early on.

Exposing political games and connections that hurt the innocent was the early battle. Now we move down the battlefield to hold culprits accountable so they won’t be rewarded with opportunity to keep screwing you, America. It’s how we win the war for our nation’s solvency, sovereignty and security.

I’ve said for years that nefarious politicos and their media lapdogs don’t really care which party wins elections – to them this is all just a money-making scheme. Politics are just business. As long as they get to keep their titles, ratings, power, and purses full, they ignore the will of the people by unemploying commonsense solutions to America’s challenges. I thank God enough primary election voters screamed, “Enough! The status quo has got to go!” and took up proverbial arms to throw the bums out. And the revolution has just begun.

Conveniently, oppressors of this nationalist revolution found a way to save face. The obvious wall-writing told them they’d lose money and influence if they continued fighting AGAINST the majority, so the donor class scattered from their polarizing candidate when Ted Cruz’s suicide vest detonated at the GOP convention.

The collateral damage is too much for them to survive; it’s shaking hell right out of their piggy banks. It wasn’t cool then to wage war against the permanent political class that’s essentially throwing in for Hillary Clinton, but after the Cruz implosion they have an excuse to come around.

They’ll never give you credit for being right, Trump Train engineers, because we’re still just peon passengers to them, but they’d like to join you now at the cool kids table. Just remember it’s YOUR table, patriots. YOU set it. They’d better behave as your guests.

I’ve been asked all year questions like why it seems I’m “relegated” to outsider status of current political machines; why there’s no longer a seat at the talking heads TV table; why’d previous “friends” commence public condemnation of me despite me never changing my values, priorities or loyalties to the right causes. The question is suggested, “Don’t you know if you just go along to get along you’d be in the big shots’ good graces?”

The answer is obvious as more dots get connected during this election season’s fall out.

The shifting and sifting you’ll see explains what goes on inside their grimy games. What’s left intact are lessons in how to survive, not how to make friends. For me, it’s all continued confirmation to never put my hope and faith in the political arena; instead I’ll be productive by choosing God and family to give me validation, definition and joy.

A significant exposition is the billionaire Mercer family’s financial ties to Cruz, his SuperPACs, think tanks, media outlets, and donor class hanger-oners like Glenn Beck, which will explain why guys (like Mercer-affiliated Beck) did a 180 on me – and you – with inexplicable personal attacks to invalidate us. The inconsistencies and random attacks they engaged in have been so, well, RANDOM that was hard not to giggle publicly at their bizarreness.

Beck and his ilk showed they don’t oppose politics of personal destruction they used to rail against with lip service. They actually participate in Alinsky-like tactics that make the rest of us gag at typical political shenanigans.

So now we must rise to the challenge of becoming better, not bitter, in the midst of what the obstructionists tried to do. You who knew we needed a revolution ignored the haters to find a revolutionary, and we nominated him to help make America great again. Now, validated, productive, joyful people will get our messenger over the finish line so we can begin the fight to restore America.

I understood Palin to mean that being bitter could make us vulnerable, whereas being magnanimous could make us strong...and we need to be strong as we press ahead to victory.

I’ll only be happy when we win in November. Other than that, I’ll remain mad.

Maybe but we don’t need to make those RomneyBots leaders over the longtime faithful as the McCain campaign did in 2008.....

don’t give them any authority or opportunity to hurt Trump’s chances..

make them volunteers sweeping the floors..don’t even trust them to stuff envelopes or knock on doors..

Give a Romney an inch he’ll destroy everything just out of spite..

Like father, like son...

Great, great article. Classic Palin.

This seems to explain her decisions about the 2012 election and beyond:

“For me, it’s all continued confirmation to never put my hope and faith in the political arena; instead I’ll be productive by choosing God and family to give me validation, definition and joy. “

Sorry, I am bitter. Screw Jeb and Teddy.

Happily I must admit I am not bitter. Because they, along with Kasich, are the losers. Trump is the winner, yet again.

Best line of the article....

Sarah Palin is one wise American. Unfortunately she wasn’t supported by equally wise Americans when it really counted!

With that comment, did you read what she wrote? It does not seem to advocate what you imply.

Rock on Sarah!! You will probably always be an outsider, just like every other regular American taxpayer. We need part-time citizen politicians coming from OUR ranks, not these powdered whig career politicians(lawyers) that wine and dine each other while snearing at us.

For that to happen, we must unite with our brothers that bicker with us. Family can be cruel to each other around the Thanksgiving table. It’s time to set that bickering aside, and carve the turkey(Hillary).
