   You can certainly look at this at face value, but I really would like to understand the reasoning. Despite the media fable, she’s not stupid.

   As much as I liked, and still kind of do, Palin, I think she is now in the celebrity business. Books and appearences.

   I’m thinking that Palin needs to get back home and help deal with her children. Son just got arrested for domestic violence, daughter has two children out of wedlock, family members were arrested in a brawl a bit back. Offerings made to the Bitch Goddess Success have taken a terrible toll on her and her family.

   I used to like her as well–she was clearly the most fiscally responsible of all four people running in 2008 by a long shot, both in policy and personal savings. But something has gone badly wrong since then.

   Tina Fey can’t be disturbed right now. She’s writing – and she’ll be writing until further notice.

   Palin’s big “reason” for endorsing Trump was to blow up the political class, at least from what she said. While I fully support the intent, the weapon she chose is terribly faulty and the “cure” may be worse than the disease.

   Politician turned reality TV star endorses reality TV star turned politician. Not that I care — it’s hard to find two more repulsive occupations in America.

   I think my first red flag about Sarah Palin was when she couldn’t handle pretty basic questions from Katie Couric. I voted for her (and defended her against some of the more ridiculous attacks) because she was on the ticket but since then I’ve come to the conclusion that by and large her critics were probably more right than her supporters in their assessment of her.

   You really worry about what Tina Fey will think?
   She’ll do her “I’m relly relly stooooopid” act and Trump’s “ratings” will go up another 5 points.

    I see Rubio was in town yesterday.

    I know, who cares.

    DMA, as much I like Rubio on most things, his position on immigration isn’t something I like at all. I’d hold my nose and vote for in the general, but in the primary he’s not my choice.

    The only thing I like about Trump is that he managed to turn the question of unlimited immigration on its head and has thrown the Establishment politicians into a tizzy trying to wrap their heads around the fact that neither party’s base likes their immigration policies. There’s nobody other than Trump who could have done that, either.

    Ask Palin what feminism means to her and you wouldn’t get anything anathema to conservatism. She supported a path to citizenship. So did most Republican politicians and pundits at one point. Opposition to it only became Republican orthodoxy this election cycle.

    Palin’s appeal, like Trump’s, is cultural, not ideological. Nobody was rooting for Palin because they agreed with her stance on Pakistan. They were rooting against the Establishment, the “lame-stream” media, and the liberal elites. Trump, being ten times the political talent that Palin ever was, is actually accomplishing what Palin fans had dreamed of.
