I'll admit it -- when this speculation began mounting yesterday, I wasn't remotely sold on the idea that Palin was poised jump aboard the Trump Train when so many influential figures within the conservative talk radio constellation are at long last blasting The Donald and rallying to Cruz. The Palin speculation seemed even less plausible when this rumor leaked: Multiple little birdies tell me Jerry Falwell, Jr. is going to endorse Trump for president and come to Iowa with him tomorrow.— Steve Deace (@SteveDeaceShow) January 18, 2016 Wow. Palin's jet following Trump campaign; endorsement imminent. Broken via flight records: https://t.co/BALN6KGFSE https://t.co/Z4rFX0mirY— Matt Popovich (@mpopv) January 19, 2016 @LPDonovan did you see it went to Tulsa next https://t.co/s6q4PMgPSG— Andrew Kaczynski (@BuzzFeedAndrew) January 19, 2016 Gonna watch the Trump/Palin rally with the largest bottle of bourbon I can find.— Guy Benson (@guypbenson) January 19, 2016
Falwell bestowed a fulsome introduction upon Donald "Two Corinthians" Trump just yesterday -- much to the dismay of many in the evangelical community -- so Deace's report made sense. Surely that's the big announcement and "special guest" Trump's been pumping on social media, right? Not so fast, my friends:
Interesting. But so what if there's a private jet bound from Anchorage to Iowa? That could be a coincidence. Or...uh, maybe not:
Oh my. The jet is headed to Ames, then hopping over to Tulsa? Exactly mirroring Trump's campaign itinerary? Dude. This might actually be happening. And what a splash it would make less than two weeks before Iowa. Should Palin's endorsement both come to fruition (there have been clues along the way), and push Trump over the top, emotionalist nationalistic populism will have officially supplanted principled, policy-driven, limited-government conservatism as the currently dominant strain within the American right-wing. I'll leave you with this, because why not at this point?
Buckle up, amigos. If you need me, I'll be passed out under my desk:

Good, and here is why. (1) NATIONALISM means closing the fucking border. Whoever doesn't want the border closed is destroying America. Period. If you don't want the border closed, your "principles" are those that the American nation is not as important as whatever-the-Hell YOU think is more important. And guess what: whatever-the-Hell YOU think is more important than the nation is a BAD principle - a principle you can shove up your ass, because we don't want those principles. (2) POPULISM means giving a fuck about the welfare of the majority of the people of America. That means the middle class and the working class. The poor have welfare to tide them over, and the rich have...everything: most of the wealth (and accumulating more of us under the CURRENT "principles") and virtually all of the power. POPULISM means reversing the money and power flow to the rich, so that the middle class don't turn into the working class, and the working class don't turn into the poor. If you don't LIKE that, then you hate your own people and favor the rich. You might think that makes you "principled", but actually it makes you a numbskull, because the end game of that is everybody poor except a rich elite, and no nation left to be able to change anything. Some principles, those. (3) "POLICY-DRIVEN"? Yeah, the Republican establishment has policies. And those policies are to leave the borders open and destroy the middle and working class, to further accumulate the wealth and power in the hands of a rich elite. Fuck that. And fuck the Republican Establishment for having DONE that for the past 40 years. And fuck YOU if those are YOUR "principles", because those principles are crap, and the policies that make them happen are crap, for everybody except the rich elite, which YOU ARE NOT (which is why you're a NUMBSKULL for having supported it, and for CONTINUING to support it even now when you've seen it not work for four decades). The principles and policies of the currently dominant strain within the American right-wing have sold the nation down the river, and sold the middle and working class (which is only 80% of the population) down the river. So, is the Trump reflex (3) "EMOTIONALIST"? You're goddamned right it is. And the emotion is ANGER. And in this primary season it is primarily directed at YOU, the Republican Establishment, and your shitty policies and shitty principles that have impoverished us and handed our nation and its culture over to foreign invasion. We are aiming to fix the mess you've made, and if you decide you're going to stand up to us, as you clearly have decided to do, we're going to break you and destroy you on our way to breaking and destroying the other side - because you are both enemies of the nation, and enemies of the sort of principles that are necessary for the bulk of us to live decent lives. So, you look down on us, and intend to suppress us. And we hate you, and intend to destroy you. And we will. And when we wrest power from you - which we will have to do because you're not going to cede any of it - one of the things we will be sure to do is to aim at the SOURCE of the power you have enjoyed, which is that accumulation of excessive wealth and privilege. The Populist, Nationalist Republican Party is not going to be "the party of the rich" anymore. And by your obnoxious denigration of the bulk of the people of this country, and your leaving the borders open and application of laws to milk and bilk us, YOU have created this populist response. We are not simply going to beat you, we are going to clip your wings by taking some of your wealth and legal protections away, so that you are weaker than you were, and never able to do again what you have done to us. You are facing a disaster if you continue to fight, because you will lose. If you come on board now, and rationally understand that it is in your own best interest to have a stronger nation and to have your own people better off than you have left them with your milking and bilking, you can expect a softer landing, some wing clipping, some rational reduction of excessive privilege. But if you cocksuckers stand there and try to THWART the necessary movement to save the nation itself, and to preserve the middle and working class (at the expense of every greater wealth and power accumulation of your favored elite class), then you are an enemy, and we will win anyway, and then rip your fucking wings off and break you as enemy's deserve to be broken. You can still make a deal and accept nationalism and populism, or you can fight to the death like the French aristocracy, and make yourselves such enemies of your own people that you lose everything, and deserve it. It is not "our move. We are going to win with or without you. The only question is whether you want to be part of the party, part of the movement for the nation and the people, or if you want to be an enemy targeted for the punishment you so richly deserve for having sold out your country and beggared all of your neighbors in the quest to make the rich establishment richer and more established.

(1) NATIONALISM means closing the fucking border. You are fired up, dropping an F-bomb in your second sentence. That was quick. : )
