It sounded like a match made in Tea Party heaven and did not disappoint. Sarah Palin and Donald Trump teamed up for a celestial voyage to the solar system where Trump is beloved, Trump is right, and Trump will win.
Palin, moonlighting as a guest host on the One America News Network, promised their encounter on Friday night would be the interview of the year. In a strange way, it was compelling.
Nothing substantial happened, but here was Trump subject to gushing adoration, a heroic leader invited to share his wisdom and courage, leaving him unchallenged and unmoored. The fantasies took flight.
Ive said it since the day he made the sacrifice to hit the campaign trail: voters crave the anti-status quo politician, said Palin, John McCains surprise pick for vice-president in 2008, in her introduction, seated alone in a studio that could have been the bridge of the Starship Enterprise.
They want results. They need someone to fire all the politically correct police. This is a movement. It was a movement so radical, so inspiring, it moved Palin to speak French. Everything about Donald Trumps campaign is avant garde.

(22,651 posts)Trump can afford to spend the 250k for Mrs. Palins permit if Mrs. Trump approves. Or don't tell either of the Mrs. Trumps.
Then they can say they have foreign affairs experience and fed 2,000 Africans a 250k lunch. Think of the hungry children!

(22,651 posts)I'm not sure, or trust Trump may be just carrying water for another Republican.
He is after all the worlds best showman and top polling Republican. We have to wait and see when their primary happens.

(43,890 posts)Where the bear attempts to dance and asks the expert monkey how well he's dancing. To which the monkey responds "poorly". The bear of course is deeply insulted and rejects the criticism. But the pig chimes in and tells the bear that he dances beautifully; the best dancer that has ever been seen. Only then does the bear reconsider the monkey's opinion.
The moral of the story is:
If the sage does not approve, bad!
If the fool applauds worse!
Guess which role Palin plays in this fable...
Hint: It's the one wearing lipstick.

"One America News Network: a love-fest boldly going where no network has gone before. The faithful were doubtless transported. Those marooned on Earth could only gape."
