Let’s review the recent history of Sarah Palin’s endorsements. First, she got a Democrat elected in Alaska over a purely personal (and moronic) beef with the Republican nominee. Then, she helped get one of the Democrats’ biggest donors, Donald Trump, nominated as the GOP presidential nominee in the most obvious Trojan Horse operation in history. Now, she is trying to defeat the Republican Speaker of the House because he is insufficiently friendly to her Democrat buddy Donald Trump:
Washington (CNN) – Sarah Palin will work to defeat House Speaker Paul Ryan by backing his primary opponent in Wisconsin, the former Alaska governor told CNN’s Jake Tapper.
Palin said in an interview that airs Sunday on “State of the Union” that her decision was sparked by Ryan’s bombshell announcement to Tapper last week that he wasn’t yet ready to support Donald Trump, the Republican presumptive nominee. Palin endorsed Trump back in January.
“I think Paul Ryan is soon to be ‘Cantored,’ as in Eric Cantor,” Palin said, referring to the former Republican House majority leader who was ousted in a shocking upset in 2014 when challenger Dave Brat ran to his right in a Virginia primary.
I’m not a humongous Paul Ryan booster by any means, but the only thing I know about his primary opponent Paul Nehlen, is that he has happily aligned himself with the nutjob chorus of Trump, Palin, Coulter, et al. That would be enough for me to oppose him, if I lived in Paul Ryan’s district, regardless of what I thought of Ryan.

Sarah Palin endorses Paul Ryan’s primary opponent, says House speaker’s ‘political career is over’ https://t.co/4l2ww7UjfZ

Trump: "We want to bring unity to the Republican Party." / Palin: Paul Ryan is about to be "Cantored."

If Palin was ever a conservative (which the preponderance of evidence suggests she never really was like so many at FR) then she abandon principle and has gone all in with the Progressive Liberal Democrat/Rino Socialist Uni-Party a party where it matters not who is in charge, Trump or Hillary anyone but a Constitutional Conservative.
So I was fooled by Palin (I am sickened by the regrets) but that is insignificant compared to those fooled by Trump in concert with Palin and host of other so-called conservatives. The negative consequences of supporting Trump are undeniably catastrophic.
Wisconsin is not Trump country!

Because voters in Wisconsin are informed by their local talk show hosts.
I would have sent money to Paul Ryan’s opponent until he came out in support of Donald Trump.

Sarah seems to have given up on conservative causes in favor of those that can enhance her bank balance.I’m no Paul Ryan fan as I don’t think he’s nearly as conservative as his reputation. That aside, I hope he smokes his challenger just to shut up the sellout Palin.
Palin sold out as soon as she quit Alaska.
Did any of you see her on Fox today? Her hair was going everywhere and she wore an off the shoulder black top. I sort of hate to say it, but she looked like a street walker if you know what I mean. Her voice was still that grating voice she had when she endorsed Trump and she didn’t speak in complete sentences – just disjointed one liners. She looks like she has aged many years. She was really bad in her talk and looks.
I think there is something wrong with her because she is so different than she was four years ago. Drugs or alcohol can change a person or a medical condition can change a person. Then there is the husband who came close to dying when he had the accident on a snow mobile and the son was close to committing suicide and the daughter has another illegitimate child.
I think I would be concerned about my family instead of leaving Alaska and trying to stop Rep. Ryan. Of course, she wants to be Energy Secretary for Trump and he has promised that to her. I don’t think I would trust her to turn on an oil well just as I wouldn’t trust Trump with the red nuclear button. Honestly, I wouldn’t trust her with anything, she looks almost wild eyed demented.
I have no ax to grind with her – I was neutral about her from the beginning, but what she is now is really strange.

She was really bad in her talk and looks.I saw a clip of her interview or should I say performance, when someone like Palin changes her ideology from conservative to anti-conservative and defends it like it has always been, ( probably always has been she just came out of the closest) they start to look, sound and act like in accordance with the same liberal expectations. Now I can’t stand to see or hear her.
I dubbed her typical liberal performance… Palin Prattle!
Prattle: def Noun: Idle or foolish and irrelevant talk
Verb: Speak (about unimportant matters) rapidly and incessantlyAlthough the matters she is called upon to comment on are important she makes them sound foolish, irrelevant and trivial just as any liberal does incessantly.
I have to wonder if she still holds any conservative values like Pro-Life, first and second amendments rights et al, I would like to think so but her support for Trump compromises all. Yeah I have regrets about Palin so when her name comes up I vent.
ConstitutionalConservative, you said: “I dubbed her typical liberal performance… Palin Prattle! Prattle: def Noun: Idle or foolish and irrelevant talk Verb: Speak (about unimportant matters) rapidly and incessantly.
Thanks so much for the “prattle” word – that definition exactly nails her behavior. She spoke foolishly and rapidly – almost incoherently. Had that off the shoulder black top dropped a bit, she would have been talking “double breastly”. :o)
