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:

Palin opposes ethanol subsidies. http://theweek.com/articles/484340/sarah-palins-brash-stand-against-ethanol- subsidies Trump favors ethanol subsidies and would expand them. http://thehill.com/policy/energy-environment/266339-trump-calls-for-higher- ethanol-mandate Trump is the crony capitalist that Palin campaigned against for almost a decade .
You're a crony capitalist that wants NAFTA to destroy American jobs. Cruz is for new world order trade deals. Trump and Palin aren't. Trumping ethanol which isn't in the top 500 most important issues.
Cruz went to the floor of the Senate to publically call McConnell a liar . Cruz said that his vote for tpa was cast on the basis that McConnell assured him there was not a deal made with the Democrats to support the Ex-Im bank renewal. But McConnell made a separate deal with the emperor ,and the Ex-Im was added to the highway bill . Cruz has taken on the Washington establishment ,often by himself in the hall of the Senate . Trump chastised Cruz for calling McConnell a liar . Ethanol subsidies is a big deal . Cruz won't compromise his principles even if it may cost him the Iowa caucus .Trump on the other hand has no principles and is a corporatist who favors government subsidies at the tax payer expense to corporate interests.
Why do you feel the need to lie? You fear Trump like that piece of shit Eric Cantor “Unfortunately I do think that if there were to be a Trump administration the casualty would likely be trade,” said Eric Cantor, a former Republican House Majority Leader and now vice chairman of Moelis & Company. “That’s a very serious prospect for the world.”
Cantor is right in this case . The last businessman who became President ;and signed off on a trade war was Herbert Hoover . He did that right before the market crashed and the Great Depression began.
“The freer the flow of world trade, the stronger the tides for human progress and peace among nations.” REAGAN
NAFTA, GATT etc isn't free trade. That is a lie you bought. They are the genesis of global organizations to dictate trade terms. To force our congress to change our laws. You are an anti constitutionalist. Just like the establishment. I guess if I was like you and made my living selling out the American worker I would be for global government too.
Nobody "forces " Congress to change laws . That is the lie you bought . The Constitution, through the Commerce Clause, gives Congress exclusive power over trade activities with foreign countries.
The World Trade Organization has just given Europe the right to hit the United States with $4 billion in tariff sanctions – to punish us for giving tax breaks to U.S. exporters like Boeing, Microsoft and GE. Under WTO rules, we are not permitted to retaliate. We must stand and take the EU sucker punch, however hard it wants to hit.
Why does Boeing ,Microsoft and GE need tax breaks ? Talk about crony capitalism !
Just curious. Are you going to leave the country like Whoopi when Trump wins?
No ,if Trump gets the nomination I'll hold my nose and vote for him just as I have done in the last 2 elections .He's still better than anyone the Dems are offering up...but that is a very low bar to hurdle .
You didn't have to hold your nose for Bush?
You didn't have to hold your nose for Bush? The primaries are when one can express their choice best . General elections frequently comes down to the best of a bad choice. The answer to your question is yes in 2000 .My favorite candidate in 2000 was Alan Keyes. But he was not on the ballot . So clearly the choice between Bush and Gore was Bush. 2004 the biggest issue to me was who was going to be CIC in the war against jihadistan. Bush was heads and shoulders above JFKerry . My issues with his domestic polices were real . But Kerry's were worse . So 2004 was a no brainer .
And right on cue...
Tina Fey doesn't quite capture the inebriated look that Palin had for this event .
Palin is almost immune to being parodied now. She's become a parody of herself.
