“Yippee, lefty, bing bong, swoop! You can’t gun down my religion, or my microwave” Palin said to cheers, as Mr Trump looked on, struggling to keep up.

Things have gotten so bad, I needed to double check that wasn't a real quote.
 
My brother noted Faux suspended their usual commercial breaks during her 'speech'. But cut away to talking heads to explain what she just said midway.

Translaters. Derp to English. Amusingly bizarre. Can we call all of this, the Derp Revolution?

Palin Brings Much-Needed Intellectual Rigour To Trump Campaign
Former Alaskan Governor Sarah Palin came out in support of Donald Trump today, a move which some experts say is designed to give The Apprentice star’s campaign a more level-headed, articulate, and intelligent edge.

While Trump’s campaign has been impressive to date, it’s been built more on his celebrity profile than well-thought-out policy ideas. Enter Sarah Palin

Now an Australian Onion...every seems to have one now. Gads, I almost thought it was real, so I had to look up which wing-nut site would actually praise this fruitcake so much.
 
When it comes to Trump and Palin, George Will speaks for me (albeit in an overly polite and insufficiently critical manner):

[HHewitt): What did you make of that (Palin's endorsement)?

GW: Well, I don’t think it’s the Republican Party turning a fresh face to a promising future. We should all believe in recycling but there are limits, frankly.

HH: (Laughs).

GW: I really think in the closing hours before the moment of seriousness arises, and I think it does arrive in America when people are actually confronted with a ballot and they no longer think they’re sending a message, they realized they’re sending a president, and I think this is one of the final episodes of what I hope, perhaps naively is, the silly season.

...

HH: ... Back to Sarah Palin. The end of the silly season. What message does that send and who gets it? Is it a net plus or a net negative in a general election to have Sarah Palin on your team and in Iowa and New Hampshire in the primaries?

GW: Well, Donald Trump is shrewd, realized that he needs validation... he’s looking around for people who are considered conservatives who will validate him by supporting him. I’m not sure if that’s going to work, but I think it indicates that he’s aware of the treacherous mine-field into which he’s about to walk as people turn around and say, “Now wait a minute. Do we want a man running against Hillary Clinton who not so long ago was writing checks to Hillary Clinton?”

HH: Now you have a few Trump tattoos, George Will. I only have one. I am a “third-rate radio announcer” and I still get along with Mr. Trump and I welcome back. He’s the best interviewee in America. Why do you think he has been so successful in this season?

GW: Well, first of all, he is entertaining. Second, he is shrewd, as I said. He understands the anxieties that people have and speaks them.. That is actually nothing wrong with that. Politics is supposed to address people with anxieties. And he also recognizes that this kind of a Jacksonian moment in American history that Walter Russell Meade who is brilliant on this saying that the Andrew Jackson impulse in America: national honor, suspicion of concentrated power, defense against the cultural imperialism of the elites, is an honorable American tradition. It deserves a spokesman and it has found one in Mr. Trump. What puzzles me, Hugh, is this. He is a populist and he’s arousing populist furies and people say when you talk to Trump they say, “We want to get things done,” but I don’t know what they want to get done. Back in the 1880s and 1890s, when populism was sweeping the prairies, where Mary Elizabeth Lease is saying farmers should “raise less corn and more hell,” the populists knew exactly what they want. They wanted regulation of freight rates to get their crops to market. They wanted lower prices on grain elevators, they wanted free coinage of silver to reduce the loans that farmers had to get. They wanted an end of tariffs. This is a very specific agenda. I don’t know, perhaps you can tell me, what is specifically, Trump’s agenda do the Trump people have?

Tomorrow, the national Review will publish a special edition devoted to attacking Donald Trump.
According to NR, Trump is no conservative and is a populist danger to conservatism.

http://www.nationalreview.com/tags/donald-trump One wonders, will this have much effect? Will this be a tempest in a teacup or tornado in a trailer park? Stay tuned for more. Fire trucks are standing by.

Trump's whole campaign has been about sensationalism. He doesn't care if it is good publicity or bad publicity, as long as it is publicity, and the more the better. And nothing gets publicity like outrage.

He knew that this would get exactly the reaction you are giving him.

A recent lede in a publication (not sure which one) was "Trump is the price for Palin". The GOP establishment (e.g. RINO McCain) danced with the devil and now they are paying for it. In fact, the bandwagon effect is driving the "main street" GOP to proclaim they love Trump (Dole, Grassley, Lott, etc.). It's insane. And the old standard bearer National Review is standing against "history". (So the RNC just banned NR from co-hosting the next GOP debate).

It's funny because this is EXACTLY what one of my neighbors said after Palin's speech. Some nonsense about how Sarah Palin understands policy better than Trump, who is mainly running on his celebrity and "likeability."

This is an analysis of her most bewildering statements. I didn't watch it, but this woman is bizarelly incoherent. It's nO't even English.

And you quit footing the bill for these nations who are oil-rich, we’re paying for some of their squirmishes that have been going on for centuries. Where they’re fighting each other and yelling ‘Allahu akbar,’ calling jihad on each other’s heads forever and ever. Like I’ve said before, let them duke it out and let Allah sort it out.”
