<<< The picture has next to nothing to do with the article. To be honest, I just like looking at Palin's beauty and continue to be astonished at her conservative leadership, all at the same time. No one this good looking should be a leader of one of the most significant political movements in American history . . . but she is. Case closed.
Editor's notes: I really do not like Donald Trump. I see him as a classless political opportunist who cannot manage marriage or business without repeated divorce and well designed bankruptcies.
But, I am thinking that I am more disgusted with the GOP, Karl Rove, and Establishment Republicans. Understand that the GOP has given us nothing but lies, since it was put back into power by the Right Wing of the party. And, since its inauguration in January of 2011, following the conservative victories in the 2010 midterms, GOP Leadership has worked to delete that same conservative influence, as it yearns for complicity with a Rogue Regime that has no need for, or, respect of . . . . . . . . . . GOP "leadership."
Ross Douthat / New York Times:
Donald Trump, Traitor to His Class — THE Donald Trump phenomenon is a great gift to pundits because it can be analyzed and criticized in so many different ways. But two shorthands seem particularly useful. First, Trump is essentially using the Republican primary to run a third-party campaign, not a right-wing insurgency.

I have the highest respect for Sarah Palin and her insistence that the tea-party remain a "movement." Understand that when a movement morphs into a stad institution, devoid of dynamics, willing to rest on its past, it becomes an enemy of the people who created that movement. In the parlor of the Movement, "status quo" is anathema. Palin knows this and has been consistent in this regard. The teaparty is a "movement," in the mind of Sarah Palin.
Perhaps this is why she is so supportive of Trump. If he is true to his rhetoric, and faithful to the changes in his political philosophy, he is what many conservatives have been looking for. You have to laugh at how he man-handles the media. You have to admit to his ability to challenge his opposition. Just understand this, Trump is running as a third party candidate, not as a representative of the Establishment GOP and that Establishment has suddenly come alive to that fact. Too late, folks. If Trump "takes the pledge," and wins the nomination, he will remain "third party" and, he just might be the door to the changes pioneers like Sarah Palin, Charles Grassley and Jeff Sessions have been looking for. Certainly, the GOP is about to get what it deserves. You cannot keep pissing on people and not expect bad things to [eventually] happen.
I am telling you this: Trump may not be what conservative had hoped for, but he sure is saying the Right things, and some of us are so desperate that we just might put him in the White House and hope he remains faithful to his promises.
