    Not until AOC started talking about the middle east did I think Sarah Palin was brilliant in comparison to her either.

    I do the ratings thing because it’s my cursory way of participating. I’m letting people know I’m watching.

    This applies to all the U.S. Congress and Mr. Biden....

    I liked her speech at the Republican convention but it went downhill after that. She does have a reality show persona. Maybe it’s from the reality show?

    No one reads the New York Times... Oops, I mean no Pubs read it. And that does NOT make someone ignorant. But taking quotes out of context, paraphrasing, like that she can see Russia from her window is okay... not exactly what she said.

    Was this quote directly about Palin votes or just a coincidence?

    How do you think AOC would rate some of your conspiracy posts?

    The Russian thing was funny. I knew what she meant. She’s as accomplished as Biden on gaffes though. Some small ones:

    "He who warned, uh, the British that they weren't gonna be takin' away our arms, uh, by ringing those bells, and um, makin' sure as he's riding his horse through town to send those warning shots and bells that we were going to be sure and we were going to be free, and we were going to be armed." --Sarah Palin, on Paul Revere's midnight ride, June 3, 2011

    "But obviously, we've got to stand with our North Korean allies." --Sarah Palin, after being asked how she would handle the current hostilities between the two Koreas, interview on Glenn Beck's radio show, Nov. 24, 2010

    "I love that smell of the emissions!" --Sarah Palin, at a motorcycle rally in Washington, D.C., where she rode in on a Harley, May 29, 2011

    Sounds like a description of the MAGA crowd.

    It all depends on your political philosophy of governance and what you want our country to look like in the near future. But we do have the world largest collection of idiots in our U.S. Congress...

    Oh, I'm sure you and your MAGA ilk have a certain term for her and politicians who look like her that you only use in the company of each other...

    While Palin is definitely the favorite her election is by no means a certainty. Alaskans tend to be independent and while Palin has a lot of name recognition she also has a lot of negatives. There is a fair percentage of the Alaskan electorate that still hasn't forgiven her for quitting when she was their governor. She did the math back then and decided that earning a seven figure income on the speaking circuit was more appealing than a salary as governor of less than $150,000 and not only that the governorship was a position that required actual work.

    Ohh, well that's fine of course. I don't boo-hoo ratings, esp. those given to me. Was just noting the irony of your comment, given the volume of "dislikes" you seem to give others, while simultaneously labeling people "hateful, self-righteous and pompous."
