That will come soon.

Word salad, word salad, word salad.

What group besides liberals is so quick to jump on a new cliche?

Have we circled all the way back to him not being a serious candidate?

Hmm...
He wants to win Iowa and steal Ted Cruz's thunder.

Whatever you think of Palin, she is popular with a lot of conservative and evangelical voters. And there are plenty of those in Iowa, other parts of the Midwest, and the South.

She'll fade into the background as soon as she has served her purpose.

Sarah Palin you have nerve. Your party started the war in Iraq ,not Obama. Trying to rewrite history? Obama didn't hurt your son dingbat. You did. Quit trying to blame someone else because your kids all have problems. Stay home and try being a mother for a change.

I doubt that you will see Sarah Palin stumping for Trump all around the country. You probably won't see her at all in NH. She will not be his VP pick should he be the nominee. The Iowa timing is key.

I believe Obama's primary goal to his detriment maybe, has been he's concerned about our Soldiers and withdrew them too quickly to get out of both wars (Iraq, Afghanistan) leaving voids/a vacuum for ISIS).

I'm curious that Palin didn't find help for her son if he needed it. Psychiatric care isn't just available at VA hospitals. She could have easily have taken him to a clinic in her home town and paid for it herself (I understand she's wealthy).

Get back to us when you have done homework to actually pick a candidate.
More of your personal attacks.

Many people thoughtfully are taking their time to decide whom to support for President. Respect that.

Exactly. He just wanted to bury Cruz. So far he's gotten more air time and uses the air time to point out some things about Cruz that many were not aware of. We will see how this all plays out.

I was an infantry lifer, and earned my CIB and a Bronze Star in Vietnam, serving with the 199th Infantry Brigade in III Corps Tactical Zone, 1969-70.

It's an insult to every man and women in uniform that Sarah Palin would try to blame her son's violent criminal behavior on his military service. And Obama has nothing to do with her family's squalid problems.
Being in the theater of operations driving the streets is hazardous in Iraq and a contribution to our mission.

False analogy.

I don't focus exclusively on Hillary topics. I post just as much, if not more about Trump and others.

Get back to us when you do the same.

I hear that Veterans are speaking out on this as well. They did not like ALL being labeled with his abusive tendencies nor did they like it being blamed on the President.


Palin's shelf life is about up. Of course, her PAC now wants money for her travel fees, etc to speak for Trump. In reality, it was just a desperate attempt on her part to remain in the spotlight.

I agree. I was surprised she was in Tulsa. She is a horrible speaker and (can't believe I'm saying this) she cheapens Trumps campaign.

That poster is like a one-note wonder when demanding to know who you will vote for. Must be part of the Trumpster's campaign package.

Not so fast.

Actually the Democrats in Congress, including Hillary Clinton, voted en masse for the war in Iraq. They were right there munching on the freedom fries and pouring French wine down the drains with everyone else. They did it because it was the politically popular thing to do.

If this is your criteria for a good candidate then I assume you will be voting for Donald Trump as he was against the war from Day 1.
