January 20, 201610 yr Does Sarah Palin have that much influence? Is her influence worth more than her negatives? I read a report this morning that said she cost John McCain 2M votes in the election.

January 20, 201610 yr Does Sarah Palin have that much influence? Is her influence worth more than her negatives? I read a report this morning that said she cost John McCain 2M votes in the election. Again, this is about securing the Iowa evangelical vote. You have to wonder strategy wise if this hurts on down the road though. You would think Trump would be shrewd enough not to allow her to stump for him if we ever get deep into this thing.

It's the old switch defense for offense coaching move, but will Trump leave Palin on the court too long like McCain did?
January 20, 201610 yr Coming from a party whose lead candidates are a criminal and a socialist, I feel good about where the republican party is in caparison to the dems. I figured you would.
January 20, 201610 yr I would think this endorsement just pulled Trump farther right and away from some middle Repub votes. If he is lucky he will pick up more than he will lose, but I could see it being a push. I just don't think people planning to vote for Trump are looking at it on a moderate to conservative scale. There isn't a whole lot to him that suggests he's a principled conservative. I think he's embodied a certain reactionary anger and his unwillingness to temper it with the realities of governing have catalyzed his supporters. To the extent that's correct, Palin (and her rambling, nonsensical speech last night) fits perfectly in that mold.
January 20, 201610 yr This GOP primary battle royale continues to amuse me from a PR standpoint. Whenever you think that Kasich or Jeb or Rubio or Rand might finally get a message or two out there, Trump says "I don't think so" and either (a) says something outrageous or (b) hauls out a clown like Palin to make sure the cameras remain on him.
January 20, 201610 yr That WWE experience is paying off ! Vince McMahon is secretly his campaign manager. :lol:
January 20, 201610 yr ^^^^^ Bottom line...Was he charged? Would that be a violent crime? Lucky he didn't get shot by cops in today's hair trigger society .
