I never understood the dislike of Ms. Palin by Democrats. She helped defeat John McCain and elect Barack Obama.
While I generally agree with the conclusion about Palin, I think Cillizza misses several important points. 1- Other than promoting her brand, Palin was the central integrating point for the Tea Party (disgruntled/enraged) "movement." It kept it motivated and focused on the arch enemy - liberal/progressive Democrats and Obama. Steve Bannon made a documentary about her in this role. 2- Her role was sub-summed by Trump when he announced. Bannon jumped on board. Trump certainly does not need or want another star in his orbit, she was going to be a problem. The baton was passed. Bye Bye Sarah.
On that post you quoted, she is right about illegal immigrants. Why encourage them?
Yeah, her PAC gravy train had been slowing for a number of years, but she was able to milk it for millions. And I appear to have a little luck at being prescient
SarahPAC could quite easily wimper to an end after this election cycle. She only has $170k in the bank, and with her travel lifestyle and high payments for consultants, she will have a hard time having to write her own speeches, flying coach, renting her own car, and staying at the Holiday in... A year ago, she had $560k in her PAC.
She was a, what I'd call, a SJW. She made a short political career from fake outrage. Did so well, she hopped to Governor of Alaska, then VP candidate by a desperate John McCain campaign.Someone I work with knew Sarah Palin personally, said she was generous to a fault, and is why he supported her politically. But apparently that is not the case. She's just another opportunist cashing in on the political climate.
Buh Bye Bitch.
Huh? Steve Bannon anyone?One upside of Trump is that he does suck all of the crazy out of the room.
Trump's attitude killed off many competitors in the Republican primary. However, his attitude is hardly sucking up the rest of the crazy in the White House. The White House is currently being controlled by sycophants, idiots, and people with no qualifications to be in the positions they hold.That means that the rest of the nutters who make their living off of the crazy have less of it to make a living off of.

That's what you get when you place the Creature from the Black Lagoon in charge of draining the swamp.
