Bite me, Sarah.
She sounds frantic to me. Doesn't she believe in the unstoppable Trump train anymore?
At one time, Sarah had quite a following of her own. It was her followers who kept McCain from being shot down in flames, by attracting them to vote for her being only a heartbeat away from the Oval Office. That got my vote that year.
But after her supporting RINOs (including McCain for Senate), the shine wore off that penny, and the realization that she might be 'in it' for Sarah more than any set of strong principles reared its ugly head. When that happened, I (and I would think others) took a more critical peek at things and found out our first impressions just might not have been accurate, or that her positions had changed (and boy, have they!)
Those TEA party, Libertarian Leaning, and Constitutional Conservatives once all aboard with Sarah, aren't buying the Trump tripe, and I think the reason Sarah was called on board (not sure if a true believer or made a deal) was to rope in the Sarah aficionados from back when.
Only times have changed. For those of us who had moved on and were not lining up to kiss the ring of the Orange Combover, we were not going to change our minds because someone else said so. By the time she got on board, the abuse from some vocal and vicious Trump supporters was already enough that 'making nice' was going to be a slow process of forgiveness, or just not going to happen.
She was too little, too late. Maybe she is realizing her own influence has been squandered by supporting RINOs and now Trump, and that will, in all likelihood spell the end of her political influence. That'd be cause enough for impending panic.
For me, I see a bad call, doubled down on (repeatedly), the unfortunate mark of a Liberal. It's sad to see 'em go, but I won't follow.
