"Trump is leading in polls of Republican voters, and is shaping Republicans’ debate. And Palin feels that is just fine, saying: 'He is the best thing to happen to the political class since the beauty of the Tea Party genuine movement rose up and shined light on crony capitalism, and pulled the rug right out from under status quo politicians who just kind of embrace that permanent political class.' "

Yes. You read that right. The Alaska politician who was thrilled beyond words [polysyllabic ones at least] to be picked as VP partner of status quo career DC politician John McCain - who is still embracing "that political class" only with more accumulated Senate seniority than during Palin's VP venture.

Do as she says, not as she did? For now, out of office since the VP debacle, Palin's pronouncements can be viewed as sour grapes. When's the last time the Republican Party bought her a new wardrobe? Yeah. Nothin' for me lately ...

The headline quote is from Politico, "Trump, Cruz, Palin: Revoke birthright citizenship for children born in America to undocumented immigrants," Posted on August 19, 2015 - By Joel Connelly (online, here). How much more genuine a Republican can you be, than bending (very, very far as the winds blow) and not breaking? Ask Norm about Palin's changed outlook, it probably would resonate; with Norm.

Back then, Palin was just like a newborn kitten, and now her eyes have opened up? Give me a break.
