Only 92 Days to Go

I'm looking forward to the GOP convention like I used to anticipate Christmas. And stories like this are the reason why.

Voters will "rise up" in opposition if Republican power brokers try to take the presidential nomination away from Donald Trump or Ted Cruz at the GOP convention this summer, Sarah Palin said Thursday in a wide-ranging interview.

If there's any way it's not going to be a clusterfuck of a shit storm I'd like to know how. The involvement of Palin just makes that so much more definite. 

"How dare they?" Palin asked, denouncing "arrogant political operatives who underestimate the wisdom of the people."

Ah yes, the wisdom of the people. Here's a photo from the front page of the GF Post Star today. 

Build the wall! I do hope he's going to the convention. 

"There are some snakes in there," she said of party leaders. "I've had to deal with the political machinery my whole career."

As a half-term governor of Alaska, a state with a lower population than 10 American cities. 

Palin said she plans to attend the convention in Cleveland, but she conceded that she may have to "invite myself to the party."

Why stop now?

"I can't see any of them inviting me," she said of party leaders. "I think they are afraid of what I would say."

Thank you, John McCain. Really.

Trump "doesn't have high-paid consultants and pollsters and spinsters trying to spin him into something he's not," she said. "He takes advice from strong, confident women in his life, like his wife and daughter." 

You're right there, Sarah. Trump is not interested in spinsters. In fact, you're likely a few years past the age where he'd be interested. 

"He was there at the border incentivizing illegal families coming on over the border with gift baskets of soccer balls and teddy bears and now he says he was never for amnesty. Yes, you were, dude, come on," Palin said.

Bad on you, Ted Cruz. I have no idea what she's talking about and obviously don't care if she slams him. 

The former Alaska governor was in Washington to promote a new documentary that seeks to debunk what it calls myths and hype about human-caused global warming. The movie, "Climate Hustle," questions whether there is a genuine scientific consensus about global warming and features more than 30 scientists who reject mainstream climate science.

Oh, she had something to sell. To cleanse your palate go to the Guardian for their coverage on Sarah and her climate denial bullshit. 

“Bill Nye is as much a scientist as I am,” Palin told the gathering. “He’s a kids’ show actor. He’s not a scientist.”

And that was not even the low point of the event.
