Agree but he also had Sarah Palin join him which surprised me.  I no longer believe a word the woman says.

I knew Sarah was a populist... not that that is a necessarily a bad thing, when she first came out. I gave several hundreds to her.The first few years. When Palin backed McLaim for re-election .... she lost me.

And her jumping on the Scam Wow train is ..well populist no?

Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet deprecate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground, they want rain without thunder and lightning, they want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters.

They are not conservatives.. those who have embraced trump.  First they are they racists in the south.. and north. But the south who gave Scam Wow the vote. I say racist.. they are the whites voting like any other race.

But trump is NOT a Conservative.. certainly not a Tea voter. A Limited government  type.

At best, trump is a fascist El Douche type.. maybe make that trains run on time.

Totally irrational. You're going to have to denigrate 10s of millions of people just because they don't agree with you. The size of your ego far exceeds that of Trump.

She was wonderful when she supported Cruz!  :laughingdog: Now when she supports the Republican nominee she's not. I worry about neverTrumps mental health.

She stopped being wonderful when she stepped off the stage after her 2008 speech at the RNC.

I didn't see any neverTrumps denouncing and denigrating her when she supported Cruz.

Anyone who denigrated Palin was mauled. So, not surprising.

True, by the numbers. A Conservative is governed by principles. If a principle can be sacrificed, it is, by definition, not a principle - Hence those who would sacrifice principles for pragmatism are not conservative.

Certainly not a Conservative of any sort - I defy anyone to disabuse us of the notion by showing his adherence to the principles of any Conservative faction, not to mention holding them all... And even if such were possible, his character is of such low mettle that trusting him to follow through is plainly impossible.

No, Palin didn't change. She supported Cruz until it was obvious he was not going to be the Republican nominee. Smart people won't ride a dead horse.

Smart people also don't resort to, "She's wearing a Tracksuit! She's running!!"

Just sayin'.

I have no idea what you are referring to. Appears to be something you brought over from FR. I don't know why you bring that crap over here.

Nothing to do with FR. I don't bring "crap" with me. Don't make assumptions. Google Palin Tracksuit or not.
