CONAN: Was there a moment for you when you thought, "I'm not part of what those people may be, Republicans, or that person may be a Republican, but I'm not going with that?"
WALLACE: I mean, honestly, I think in 2008 to work for John McCain, who is also in pretty bad shape health-wise, to see that Sarah Palin's crowds were bigger and more enthusiastic for the crazy things she was saying, than him, was really the canary in the mine and the signal the party had changed.
CONAN: Telling you something was happening in this country that was angrier.
WALLACE: Yes.
CONAN: And more extreme. Darker.
WALLACE: Yes. so she gave me my first shove, Trumpism gave me my last kick out the door.
We have said it many times before here on IM, but it bears repeating.
Without Sarah Palin there would have been NO Donald Trump.
She helped to create the anti-intellectual, hating on the media, deny all reality, blueprint that Trump followed all the way to the White House.
The thing is we KNEW she was dangerous, that is why I focused on her here at the Immoral Minority.
But while I was working to undermine her chances of destroying the country, Trump came riding down that stupid escalator and started to out Palin Palin.
I mean hell, who thought THIS was literally the best way for anybody to start to campaign for president?
I certainly didn't.

Why has it taken Nicole Wallace 10yrs to speak truth about this dangerously bad evil witch?
ReplyDelete$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
DeleteShe was hired for a job and she did it. She always said that if there came a time where she had to speak out that she would. Steve Schmidt has started to make comments as well.
DeleteSo.....does this mean that Miss "I Don't Need A Title" to do what I'm doing thinks that, after a decade, she can reappear? Nicole and Steve know the inner workings more than we ever will.
I HIGHLY think that she doesn't want to do that because she's as dumb as a brick. It's all a matter of how much more humiliation she wants heaped upon herself.
But those two jerks struck a never in the body politic of America that has always been there -- they brought it into the light, they legitimized being jerks and the jerks finally got their wish to see a jerk in the White House representing them. H.L. Mencken was right those many years ago. He just didn't realize "plain folk" were so very ignorant and arrogant with it -- blame that on poor education and downright fear/hatred of it today & was the disregard for facts with one's opinion overriding facts.
ReplyDelete“As democracy is perfected, the office of president represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.”
I have always stud that there was a specific purpose - and threat - for dumbing down America. It gives evil people the final push to the top.
DeleteSo true 8:34. So true.

Hitler also found that nerve. He went for it, hook, line, and sinker. Killed about 6 million people in the most inhumane way he and his could think of.
ReplyDeleteTrump and Palin are so stupid that they have no inkling what this kind of politics can turn into. They call themselves patriotic. Well, Hitler was too.
Now, the ugly have a foothold in our politics and it is kinda hard getting rid of those bastards. Thanks to the likes of Nicole Wallace for helping that along.

Big deal Nicole. What did YOU do about it? YOU had and still have the power to expose just how fucked up crazy nuts she is. Pillow pregnancy. Fraud. But nope.
ReplyDeleteOthers who tried to out Palin for her pillow pregnancy were not believed. Perhaps Nicole would have had more believability given her position but, no doubt, she was fooled into accepting Palin's account of Trig's arrival and dismissed the other version as fake news. Who knows?
DeleteBullshit 8:22. The computers were scrubbed, at the GOP direction, of all evidence of the fraud. Nicole knew. Mike Schmidt and Nicole were besties and Schmidt's wife is an Obstetrical nurse practitioner. I'm sure she knew it was a fake fruad bullshit story as well.
DeleteThey knew. They did nothing. They wanted to win. Then they lost and she's being sanctimonious about it?
1:53 PM - that was ten years ago. $arah is a joke, everyone knows it, let her try it again.
DeleteWhat’s always been funny to me is her first and only time speaking in front of trump, the endorsement!
ReplyDeleteYou could see him wishing for a hook to get her off the stage! He dropped her like a hot rock! I lmao because she expected to be right next to him for the whole campaign. What a huge disappointment (and shock) for her knowing that she wasn’t wanted or needed by his side.
Her expectations had to have been she would pick up where she left off with McCain. Get all the free clothes and adoration of deplorables! And maybe the ultimate tittle of VP !
Trump did not want or need sister Sarah.
Too much competition to be the biggest idiot on stage.
DeleteTrump used her too.
Delete... and then Todd was injured so badly that $arah couldn't travel the campaign circuit.
Delete7:47 PM - I remember that....the next day she was on to Oklahoma and he stood on the floor. Yeah, that didn't turn out well! HAH.
DeleteNo RNC because "too far to fly." Are you freaking kidding me?," yet her base sucked it up. No stumping, no nothing. Babs was right.
And don't forget most recently, when table talk those paid to be there, Florida, "I wish you would pay attention to me. It took two days to get here."
Deletehahahahaha
Stupid infantile demagogic people like Palin and Trump who are given an enormous public stage can be incredibly destructive given that 30-40% of the electorate(right wingers including evangelicals) is functionally retarded and bigoted. Many of them believe in new earth creationism and that climate change is a hoax. And they need a 'daddy' to tell them what reality is. Oligarchical RW propaganda has worked with these low IQ folks.
ReplyDeleteIt is said that Ted Kennedy had intended to give a 'car ride' to Sarah and Sally Heath, rather than Mary Jo Kopechne, back in 1969.
ReplyDeleteRight... Sarah would haveb been 5 years old. Your point?
DeleteIs that how long they have been entangled in the mix?
DeleteAll because of Russia'$ dirty little secrets? Not anymore.
It seems from activity, they are getting worried. Rightly so. Your. About. To. Lose. It. All. Bye. Bye. Russians.
What scares me is wondering what nutjob the Republicans will be running in ten years that will make Trump look sane and competent. Many people thought we couldn't go lower than George W Bush and yet, here we are. I don't see this crazy train reversing course just yet.
ReplyDeleteSweet Jesus I have panic attacks just thinking about that.
DeleteShe’s getting annoying. She’s actually just getting meaner and meaner. But all she has now is nothing so go on Nicole. Show your true colors. We will never vote for Sarah. And also find you disturbing. Especially when you’re literally 1/2 people who aren’t still friends with her family.

Palin opened the door for STUPID and Vlad shoved it in while we were looking the other way.
