Why did Palin jump ship?  It probably has something to do with the fact that Trump is the best negotiator next to Jack Dunphy.  But in this case, unlike Jack, Trump probably gave the woman the amount of Benjamins that she was asking for in order to get her imprimatur.

...With Bristol "Abstinence" Palin popping out babies like a gumball machine and son Track arrested for domestic violence and carrying a gun while intoxicated, Trump should be a shoo-in with the Thumpers.

........announcing her support for Trump and it gave me a headache.

I didn't listed to any of it, but I am willing to bet that listening to the whole thing would have to be hazardous to your health.

BSC is BSC, regardless of which side of the aisle it comes from.

BTW, just how long was her speech? you might want to have that looked at if you had prolonged exposure to that much stupidity.

Those of you waiting for Trump to stumble... may have just seen it.

Palin supporting Trump will cost him far more than help him.

But it does give Sarah yet another opportunity to grab the spotlight even if just for a short while.

Much like Kim Kardashian, Palin never misses an opportunity for self-promotion.
  And Honda... you have nobody to blame but yourself for the headaches... you KNOW her speeches can hemorrhage IQ points from anyone who actually pays attention to her.

Still, she always did have a purdy mouth...

...lost a couple of IQ points.  She's been mispronouncing this word since forever...

...but which one is saying it

A strident voice like hers would have driven a hearing man to suicide by now. And I've heard homeless people speak with more organized, congruent thought process.  

 Normally I'd say it was a bone-head move to seek her 'public' endorsement. But the Trump campaign ain't normal.

Win-win for him. She make him look smart, but not too smart, and she draws all those who communicate in schizophrenic speak!  

As everyone here knows, I really can't spare the IQ points

I remember reading 30 years ago "People" magazine and the like were written for an 8th grade reading level. Guess who was on the cover of all those tabloids 30 years ago?  

A systematic dumbing down of America engineered by a bank controlled corporate plutocracy being hijacked away by a persona of success they created.  
 

After all, how do you think Obama ever got elected?  Obama was the master of getting the "stupid vote" and the same may very well be true for Trump.  

I think most of us would agree with the statement that "there are more stupid people than smart people" so why not pander to stupid people? Without them it's virtually impossible to win an election in this country.

Fair point.
It does explain the apparent imbalance between the reasonable and the ridiculous right here on this board.

On the other hand, there is no explanation for BigPapasan, who apparently can swing both ways without missing a beat.

And he didnt do shit to vet her and then peeps from his staff like that POS Nicole Wallace later trashed her. Blame McCain,  not Palin.

Wasn't the young Palin deployed during the Presidency of George W Bush?  The Man who now claims NO responsibility for the Iraq War Fuck Up!
