When you think about it, Sarah was a lot like Donald, she was outspoken and didn’t shy away from giving it to the swamp and the media.

You're right! Compare Palin's speech at Inadianola, Iowa, September 2011:

"We sent a new class of leaders to DC, but immediately the permanent political class, they tried to co-opt them. Because the reality is we are governed by a permanent political class, until we change that," Palin said about career politicians. "They talk about massive, unsustainable debt and yet they keep incurring more. They spend, they print, they borrow, they spend more, and they stick us with the bill. Then they pat their own backs and they claim that they faced and solved the debt crisis that they got us in."

On crony capitalism: "So many of them, they arrive in Washington, DC of modest means and then miraculously throughout the years they end up becoming very, very wealthy. Well, it's because they derive power and their wealth from their access to our money, to taxpayer dollars."

"They use it to bail out their friends on Wall Street. And their corporate cronies. And to reward contributors. And to buy votes via earmarks. There is so much waste. And there is a name for this. It's called 'corporate crony capitalism,'" she said.

“Like you, I’m not for sale. I believe in the free market and that is why I detest crony capitalism. And Barack Obama has shown us cronyism on steroids. It will lead to our downfall if we don’t stop it now.”

and Trump's speech at the end of the 2016 campaign (West Palm Beach 10/13/16):

Our movement is about replacing a failed and corrupt political establishment with a new government controlled by you, the American People. There is nothing the political establishment will not do, and no lie they will not tell, to hold on to their prestige and power at your expense.

The Washington establishment, and the financial and media corporations that fund it, exists for only one reason: to protect and enrich itself.

The establishment has trillions of dollars at stake in this election. As an example, just one single trade deal they’d like to pass, involves trillions of dollars controlled by many countries, corporations and lobbyists. For those who control the levers of power in Washington, and for the global special interests they partner with, our campaign represents an existential threat.

This is not simply another 4-year election. This is a crossroads in the history of our civilization that will determine whether or not We The People reclaim control over our government.

RINO Romney definitely needs more fibre in his diet.

He's got plenty of fiber - you can hear it. Just turn him upside-down and give him a shake...

I follow her on twitter. That tweet in context with many of her other tweets makes it pretty clear she doesn’t think attacks on Trump like the democrats and the media do are right. So saying Mitt attacked Trump the way democrats and the media do is pretty much saying Mitt’s attack was wrong.

She’s very obviously not a Trump hater like Mitt. Trump retweets her a lot.

She didn’t dispute the content, just the fact he did it. It’s like saying someone’s baby is ugly, when it in fact is. Factual yet it’s sometimes not the right thing to say in certain instances.
