Sarah Palin Hints About Wanting to Be Trump's Next Running Mate
|

Newsweek ^
Sarah Palin on Tuesday seemingly hinted that she would like to be former President Donald Trump's running mate in 2024. Palin,
who was John McCain's running mate during his failed White House bid in 2008, described what she felt would be the qualities of an ideal candidate for Trump's vice presidential candidate during an appearance on the Newsmax program The Balance. "Trump needs to choose somebody who, like him, has nothing to lose. What more can they do to that person personally or verbal attacks or anything else on family?" she said. "That person has been through the wringer, so...

THE DESTRUCTION OF SARAH PALIN

| 27 July2009 | Bill Whittle
Let’s wrap this up by getting to brass tacks here.This isn’t a fight between Democrats and Republicans, or even between Liberals and Conservatives. This is a fight to the death between the populists and the elites. Sarah
Palin is the anti-Obama. He is urban; she is rural. He preaches dependency on the government and she leads a life of independence. He consistently apologizes for the sins of the country he was elected to lead, and she is unabashedly proud of it. He opposes the war in Iraq; she has skin in the game. And on and on.And that is why...

| 09/25/2023 | MIRANDA NAZZARO
Former GOP vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin said Monday she thinks former first lady Michelle Obama will be the Democrats’ 2024 nominee, adding that President Biden is “out.” Responding
to a series of 2024 election conspiracy theories in which Biden could be removed from office, the former Alaska governor wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter: “Don’t be surprised. But I still say it’ll be Michelle O’ #2024Election. Biden’s out.” Obama has repeatedly said on the record she does not want to run for president, which has done little to quell such suggestions. The Hill reached out to her spokesperson...

Former Gov. Sarah Palin (R-AK) said Thursday on Newsmax TV’s “The Balance” that a civil war was “going to happen” over former President Donald Trump’s indictments. Eric
Bolling asked, “We’ve talked about the two tiered justice system but when you see it happening, when you see the former president being fingerprinted, having to show up turn himself in. You see the mug shots of the other seven or eight who turned themselves in already. Do you have concern for the country as I do?” Palin said, “Yeah absolutely. I mean, I think those who are conducting this travesty and creating...

Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin (R) encouraged Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) to sit out the 2024 presidential battle and continue serving as governor. Palin
further voiced confidence in former President Donald Trump's odds of clinching the party nod and suggested that competitive primaries could be a net positive for the GOP. "DeSantis doesn’t need to [run]. I envision him as our president someday, but not right now. Everybody I speak with in Florida love[s] him. And he does set the tone for, I'd say, every other governor in the nation," Palin told Newsmax. "I think he's our best governor....

Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin (R) said on Tuesday that she thinks Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) should “stay governor” for the time being, as he continues to attract speculation about a potential 2024 presidential bid. “DeSantis
doesn’t need to [run],” Palin said in an interview with Newsmax. “I envision him as our president someday but not right now. “He should stay governor for a bit longer,” she added. “He’s young, you know. He has decades ahead of him where he can be our president.” Although DeSantis has yet to announce a 2024 presidential bid, he is widely viewed as...

The problem with ranked-choice voting: The voting method that did Sarah Palin in
|
| |
American Thinker ^
| 02/12/2023 | Thomas Buckley
Ranked choice voting is the answer to a question only a bureaucrat would even think to ask. To
simplify, RCV is a voting method used most recently in the 2022 Alaskan congressional election which Sarah Palin notoriously lost -- that in theory blurps out a winner that is actually (really really trust us on this) the most representative of the wishes of the electorate. This magic trick is accomplished by people voting for their first choice, second, etc. and then the numbers are added up and moved about and cut and pasted and then the registrar of voters announces a...

Democrat Mary Peltola defeats Sarah Palin in race for Alaska's at-large House seat

NBC News ^
| November 23, 2022 | Scott Wong
Democrat Mary Peltola has won the race for Alaska’s at-large congressional seat, NBC News projected Wednesday, defeating former governor and GOP vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin. While the election was held earlier this month, the race was not called for weeks because of Alaska’s new ranked-choice voting system where voters rank the
candidates in order of preference. After the first round of voting, Peltola led Palin by more than 20 percentage points, with Republican Nick Begich, a scion of one of Alaska’s most well-known political families, in third. But because Peltola failed to win more than 50 percent, the voting...

Thanks to Insane Ranked-Choice Voting, Sarah Palin Has Election Taken from Her Again

Thanks to the GOP voting in ranked-choice voting, Sarah Palin has election taken from her again. Sarah
Palin deserves a special medal of honor for her attempts to make America a great country. The former governor of Alaska offered to help the helpless John McCain in his run for President and she was hammered by the media like no politician up to that point in history. After helping McCain increase his popularity with the public, McCain threw her under the bus when he lost. This past year, Palin ran for office again, this time for US Rep from Alaska. She...

Republican Lisa Murkowski Pledges to Vote for Alaska House Democrat over Sarah Palin

| 10/22/2022 | Wendell Husabo
Twenty-one-year incumbent Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) has said she will vote for Democrat House candidate Rep. Mary Peltola (D-AK) over Republican challenger former Gov. Sarah Palin. “Yeah, I am,” Murkowski responded Friday when asked by the Anchorage Daily News if she would vote for the Democrat. Alaska uses the ranked choice voting
system, which ultimately affords Democrat voters the opportunity to vote for Murkowski on the second and third ballots. Murkowski’s decision to vote for a Democrat is likely intended to attract more votes down-ballot to ultimately defeat Trump-endorsed Senate Republican candidate Kelly Tshibaka, who is leading in the polls...

Sarah Palin: ‘My First Agenda Item Will Be Making Sure We Open Up ANWR’ to End ‘Fake Energy Crisis’

Former Gov. Sarah Palin (R-AK), a candidate running to represent Alaska’s At-Large Congressional District in the U.S. House of Representatives, said in an interview on Breitbart News editor Adrienne Ross’s eponymous podcast published on Tuesday that if elected, her policy priority will be to “open up” the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR)
as a measure against a “fake energy crisis” that President “Biden made.” Palin called for increasing energy and natural resource development in ANWR while highlighting the synthetic nature of rising energy costs driven by government policies marketed by the Biden administration as “environmental” measures.

Alaska’s Ranked-Choice Voting Scheme Was A Plot To Save Murkowski, But It Also Doomed Palin

The Federalist. ^
| SEPTEMBER 09, 2022 | Tristan Justice
In order to avoid a Republican primary, Murkowski operatives orchestrated a takeover of state election laws. Election
officials called Alaska’s special election House race for Democrat Mary Peltola over 2008 GOP vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin last week. Peltola’s victory, despite nearly 60 percent of votes cast for a Republican on all first-choice ballots, will mark the first time since 1973 that a Democrat will represent the state in the lower chamber. Whether the August contest was Palin’s race or Republican Nick Begich’s race to lose is an open question. Whether the Republicans’ loss was a consequence of Alaska’s new...

Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, who is running for the state’s at-large congressional district in November, has pleaded with her Republican challenger to drop his bid to avoid splitting the state’s GOP votes. Nick
Begich III, a businessman and member of the politically prominent Begich family, was a GOP candidate alongside Palin in the Aug. 16 special election to fill the House seat, which became vacant after longtime Republican Rep. Don Young died in office in March. State law required that a special election for the seat be held within five months of an intra-term vacancy, even as the 2022...
