This reminds me of how Liberals only associate and speak among themselves. And since the main stream media is also Liberal, Liberals are stuck in their own Liberal world.
A prime example was when Nixon won. Everyone in New York were just flabbergasted. They couldn't believe it. They didn't think it would even be close. The reason they gave was, "I didn't know a single person that voted for Nixon."
No shit, Sherlock. Of course nobody voted for Nixon -- in New York.
Now, I'm not calling anybody here Liberal but it just goes to show how parochial people can be. This is a very anti-Palin board but the fact of the matter is that Palin has a huge and strong following. You think she only reinforced people that were already with Trump. Not a chance. Most people just assumed she was backing Cruz. Cruz himself admits that he wouldn't be a Senator if it wasn't for Palin.
Palin helps Trump a lot. People who were vacillating between Cruz and Trump aren't vacillating anymore anymore. And you think Trump's people will let him know it was a bad decision AFTER it was made? You think they are that dumb? You think Trump is that dumb?
You can think of Palin anyway you want. You can mock her and her supporters and call them names and claim how much smarter you are than they are. But the fact is that there are a lot of Palin supporters and unlike so many that like to put in their two cents, they actually vote.
And you're likewise free to defend and support her all
you want. Regarding Trump and his people, though, yeah; after seeing her embarrassingly over-the-top Oklahoma lunacy, I'm betting they're now SERIOUSLY rethinking her role in his campaign, as they certainly should be.
Anecdotal, but I had two longtime avid Palin supporters text me within minutes after her speech, both with messages to the effect of "Dude, you were right, she's a complete fucking idiot." And then when Fox commentators start piling on, even laughing through their critiques, seems pretty obvious she's no longer anyone's campaign asset, except Hillary's at this point.
As far as "claim(ing) how much smarter" I am," while I never specifically stated such, I got no problem at all embracing your summary. Anyone who witnessed that circus of ignorance feeling anything but embarrassment, shame, and an unspeakable assault on common sense/intelligence is an opponent I'm fairly certain I'd likely outwit on Jeopardy. Imagine I might even best 'em in a standard spelling bee as well.
Never been one to specifically boast of, or proclaim, any degree of academic or intellectual superiority over anyone here (that I can readily recall), and I'm really quite uncomfortable with the idea. But if you're gonna get cute with snarky comparisons to blatantly obvious morons, I feel a response, this time, was perfectly in order.
Furthermore, differences aside, you seem like a rather informed, intelligent man. However, if you can't see through Palin's painfully transparent, phony, self-serving, patriotic rah rah, you're simply allowing her pandering (wannabe Reagen-esque) American pride rhetoric interfere with your capacity for critical thought.
Nothing at all about Trump or Cruz, just Palin: You seriously can't see/admit that 1) she's as dumb as a f'n rock, and 2) you're being willingly played by the most televangelistic charlatan this side of Glenn Beck?
If it's simply a matter of God, guns, and her America-loving 'kick everyone's ass' patriotism (her supporters' go-to defense, especially after eight years of this dope's questionable loyalties), I'll at least understand your willingness to ignore the rest.
