Sarah Palin’s Pearls Before Swine

Donald Trump, Elections, Political Correctness, Sarah Palin

Some of the bons mots delivered by Sarah Palin in Ames, Iowa, where she endorsed Donald Trump, were doggone terrific. My earlier prediction was premature. Palin ditched the handlers that had dogged her and deformed her style, and went back to being the wild girl from Wasilla, Alaska:

What the hell would the establishment GOP Machine know about conservatism?

We’re mad; have been had. … Doggone right, we’re angry, time to drill, baby, drill down.

Trump has gone rogue.

Safety nets have been turned into hammocks.

They’re wearing political correctness like a suicide vest.

Complicity is on both sides of the aisle.

Trump’s not an elitist; he respects hard hats.

UPDATED: Sarah Palin’s Devolution: Will It Rub Off On Donald Trump? (I Was Wrong)

Regarding Sarah Palin’ endorsement of Donald Trump: She’s a great personality as an Alaskan, a mom, a hunter, runner, oil and gas ace (expertise she has never “tapped”), Big Oil enemy. For the rest, Palin’s life has taken on a reality-show flavor. And the spontaneous ability to connect with an audience has been replaced with a weird, disjointed quality.

Whoever has been choreographing poor Mrs. Palin’s public appearances of late has destroyed her natural charm. For some time now, Palin has been modulating her voice during appearances to sound like a preacher, lending it the cadence of a crazy person’s voice.

The there’s the governor’s propensity for rambling, run-off sentences, peppered with grating gerunds. Pearls of wisdom are often lost in the prolix.

And please don’t attack me for Palin’s devolution. Starting with “Sensational Sarah,” I’ve written oodles in praise of the original Palin persona, recommending that she “fashion herself as an expert, not as a generalist. On energy and environmental issues Palin is indeed an ace. When it comes to the ins-and-outs of the oil and gas industry—ownership, extraction, contracts and leases—Sarah Palin is as sharp as a tack.

As to Ms. Palin’s endorsement of Donald Trump; let’s see.

Feedback From Trump’s Silent Majority

Donald Trump, Elections, Military, Nationhood, Race, Racism

About this week’s column, “Trump’s Invisible, Poor White Army,” our friend Bill Scott, whose story you can follow from the links provided below, writes the following:

Absolutely frappin’ brilliant! Yours is the only voice I’ve heard that nails the very real factor of the rapidly vanishing white, disenfranchised Silent Majority in Trump’s campaign. I’m forwarding this to a few dozen “silents,” including one hell of a lot of veterans, who the “Regressives” (let’s start calling them out for what they really are) have branded as terrorists.

… and I love your term, “the special-needs media.” God, that’s great!

Not so silent any more: As Trump remarked in Pensacola, Florida, last week, his followers are not the Silent Majority, but a noisy-as-hell-majority.
