Unable to copy & paste from the article, but it's a good read. I was searching for the latest news on Sarah, but could find only stuff on Todd and Sarah's divorce. That's the only issue the MSM would mention.

From the article:
The Democrats dont have lousy Presidential nominee candidates merely because the good ones were keeping their powder dry. A Black Swan candidate of 2008 is appreciably responsible for it, and no one seemed to notice. When Sarah Palin became the focus of the hopes of committed conservatives, the swamp did everything in its power to destroy her. Venal Republican operatives were so beset with personal jealousy, they were willing to crash the ship on the rocks to ensure against her ascendancy.
They won their battle, sadly. But, a single line — just one — provided the foundation for conservatives. Mrs. Palin told America Do you know the difference between a hockey mom and a pit bull? Lipstick!
In one succinct line she captured the commitment and determination of conservatives seeking to protect something they love.
Fast forward a year, and those same conservatives saw Obama trying to destroy that which they love and without hesitation, these conservatives jumped into a new political movement. Bolstered by their belief that Sarah Palin was an everyday somebody like them, and infuriated by her maltreatment, they populated the ranks of the Tea Party. They were determined to protect America. Within months, they were activists.
Then in 2010, the Tea Party revolt wiped out the budding careers of a huge number of Democrats — about 1000 existing Democrat officeholders were sent packing, as were a large number of what the Democrats thought were viable challengers. It was not just a loss; it was the creation of a schism in the Democrat Party, one that has gotten worse in the nine years since.
This one election left them without a pool of sane people at the partys center. The old guard in ultrasafe districts continued their careers, but had no one to mentor. The modestly experienced Democrats were gone, and the highest priority for the party was recruiting replacements. In this, they made the only choice they could; they went for youthful rookies. And over the last four election cycles they continued the strategy, building on its limited success. They forgot or never recognized the risk — that the new youth party was opposed to their system.
Too much of a good thing is a lesson taught by such experiences as eating green apples, but no one in Democrat leadership ever thought such a thing was possible. Thus, the election of a cadre of young socialists and now Muslims has split their party into two distinct factions. These two factions are the old entrenched officeholders and the super radicals following the path of a non-Democrat Bernie Sanders — loyal to their delusions, not their party. Neither faction excites the other, and both alienate conservatives and many independent voters.
Out of this divided party we see candidates for the Democratic presidential nomination struggling to distinguish their candidacies because they all lack gravitas, magnetic personalities, and records of leadership. This despite the fact that the candidates the Democrats have fielded are the creme de la creme in their party.
We conservatives are all a bit paranoid, so we see a lot of speculation that the Democrats will field a star player at just the right moment. Michelle, Hillary, or some unknowable superstar are supposed to be on the sidelines. This is unlikely. Losing is easy enough without turning to another false hope, and an intraparty war would result from anyone trying to seize the nomination. No one need think about a new messiah figure suddenly appearing. The Democrats dont have one.

Do you have her phone number?
Asking for a friend...
Thx WF - God bless.
LOL - She is only 56 yrs. old and look at all of her accomplishments!!!!
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarah_Palin
..... happy Sarah.
Have her replace Rick Perry if he steps down.
Your posts normally make me laugh, but this one gave me a lasting smile. Thank you!
Wonder if President Trump has approached her for a position in his administration?
Mclame blamed her for his loss, no you were an a##sucking loser
She showed us how to fight.
She lit the lamps along the path.
Paved the way for the one who was strong enough to prevail.
It was shameful how she was treated.
I hope she can look back with a smile knowing she pioneered the trails that Trump would follow in his winning. Every one of her issues became the rallying cries of today.
“Mclame blamed her for his loss”
She’s a fine lady, but she’s anchored to McShame which is her political drawback, and the likely reason she’s not a major political player today.
Thinking back, I thought McShame and Sarah would be a good team. Knowing what I know today, McShame and the Myth were leftist RINO stooges that would have done the same harm as obama did. The difference being obama is more respectable because the other two are traitors.
Over the years I had seen many more "Palin" stickers. Even though she wasn't running for anything, it's what she stood for.
She was a walking "Gadsen Flag".
I can be your friend.
Michelle is the only one to fear.
“Have her replace Rick Perry if he steps down.”
I’ve always thought that would be the perfect position for her. The hearings would beat her to a bloody pulp, though
Thank You for the Sarah Palin pings FRiends!
Probably. She might get in some good licks, though.
the Myth ?
Careful here, FRiend!
