she's baaaack! Palin will work to defeat Ryan in primary for Trump stance

[spanone]

Washington (CNN)Sarah Palin will work to defeat House Speaker Paul Ryan by backing his primary opponent in Wisconsin, the former Alaska governor told CNN's Jake Tapper.

Palin said in an interview that airs Sunday on "State of the Union" that her decision was sparked by Ryan's bombshell announcement to Tapper last week that he wasn't yet ready to support Donald Trump, the Republican presumptive nominee. Palin endorsed Trump back in January.

"I think Paul Ryan is soon to be 'Cantored,' as in Eric Cantor," Palin said, referring to the former Republican House majority leader who was ousted in a shocking upset in 2014 when challenger Dave Brat ran to his right in a Virginia primary.

"His political career is over but for a miracle because he has so disrespected the will of the people, and as the leader of the GOP, the convention, certainly he is to remain neutral, and for him to already come out and say who he will not support is not a wise decision of his," Palin continued.

1. OMG !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! n/t

[CTyankee]

2. Bring her on! She'll be the icing on this shit cake that is the republican party...

[spanone]

3. the media promotes her relevancy as if she has any.

[CTyankee]

6. between Trump's rantings and her babbling they look like the mess that is the GOP now.

[C Moon]

43. :D

[FarPoint]

4. How can this be???

I'm not from Wisconsin, so I don't know their election primary schedule... But, didn't Wisconsin already have their Primary? If you here is another, when?

[Lucinda]

9. She could mean next time he is running for re-election...?

I'm not sure if his term is up this year or not...

[FarPoint]

11. Okay

That makes more sense... The article was vague. Thanks.

[Cirque du So-What]

13. His term is up every two years

so, yeah, he's up for reelection this year. I see this as a flaw in our electoral system - the entire HOR spending more time on getting re-elected than the business of actually governing.

[CK_John]

14. Every congress house is elected every 2 yrs. He is up this yr.

[Lochloosa]

16. All House members have two year terms. He is up for re-election

[Ruby the Liberal]

18. August 9th?

I had the same question. Googled it and National Review says August 9th is the primary date for that race. Apparently this guy is a water filtration executive (LOL!) and a Tea Party darling.

19. If Palin is finally successful..

It will make me smile just this one time.

[dembotoz]

21. and they say fruitcakes are only popular at xmas

the teabaggers have had good success in wisconsin.....witness glenn grothman et al

[47of74]

53. Yeah somebody's gotta get all those nasty chemicals from Wanker's supporters out of the water.

[Ruby the Liberal]

54. Tea Party Activist & Water Filtration Executive

is an oxymoron.

[Zynx]

20. Our Congressional and Senatorial primaries are in August or September.

[FarPoint]

22. Unique, different...

Works for me this time... I'll be following the results.Thank you for the details.

[JHB]

23. Are WI's presidential and congressional primaries on the same date?

I know some states hold primaries for different offices at different times. Not sure if WI is one of them.

On edit: was answered downthread (up thread from here). Never mind.

[FarPoint]

24. Thank you....

Great information.. This Primary will be most exciting.

[awoke_in_2003]

41. Don't clue her in...

maybe she can work to get a dem to replace him

[Lucinda]

5. Interesting development.

Piranha season in the GOP.

[mehneh]

31. Your comment said it the best! n/t

[femmocrat]

7. So that is what trump found to keep her busy.

She was a dud as a surrogate!

Paul Ryan will have a good laugh today.

[annabanana]

33. lolololololololol! . . . . .n/t

[hlthe2b]

8. What a foul creature she is (even though I find Ryan repugnant as well)

Even if that means helping Ryan, I hope this backfires and this political season totally sends Palin forever into (much deserved) obscurity...

[Yavin4]

10. Republicans have no one to blame but themselves

They unleashed this Kraken and now it's attacking them.

[FarPoint]

25. Ultimately, they want a win regardless..

They have no vision for goals beyond selfish interest. They will back Trump as they did all TEABAGGER candidates just for the win potential and control..delusional as it is....

[sufrommich]

12. "His political career is over"

Oh,the irony.

[PJMcK]

26. Isn't that her teleprompter? (n/t)

[Buzz Clik]

29. Followed by an analysis by WaPo:

[beachbumbob]

15. Awesome perhaps a democrat can win that seat!!!!!

[malaise]

17. Go away Lady Blah Blah

you ignorant moron

[Buzz Clik]

27. Her rapier wit and grasp of the issues will cut Ryan to ribbons.

[SCVDem]

35. Unqualified!

That is the picture to go with the definition.

Not Bernie or Hillary.

[benld74]

28. Thanks McCain

[CincyDem]

30. Words I thought I was incapable of speaking.

I wish Sarah great success on her endeavor.

[pinboy3niner]

32. Lost me at "Palin will work"

[NutmegYankee]

34. Wow. So the Republican party is so screwed up that members want to unseat the Speaker of the House.

[Helen Borg]

36. Somebody is gonna get Palined soon as well!

[Stinky The Clown]

37. Ms Palin is a day late and a dollar short. Wisconsin already had their primary.

I think Ryan is still the candidate.

Too bad, Sassy. You lose.

As usual.

You fucking worthless grifter.

[DCBob]

38. I have no doubt she will be more of a liability than an asset to Trump and the GOP.

Although I cant stand her she is a useful tool for our side. The folks at SNL are probably already working on some skits.

[FSogol]

39. Palin will work? LOL, why start now?

[tosh]

40. Did anyone else see her on CNN this morning??

Gawd, she was all made up for a "glamour shot" with her hair blown back & sprayed and wearing something that bared her shoulders like those "drapes" they use for high school seniors' yearbook photos.

Bizarro self promotion, no professionalism whatsoever.

Edited to add: you can see it at the link.

[ronnykmarshall]

48. It was a scream

She looked like she's been tipping back a few as well.

[spanone]

51. here's the video....

[shadowmayor]

42. Mr. Magoo

Thanks for this warbling idiot McCain (er Mr. Magoo)! The chillbilly won't go away!

[C Moon]

44. She got a taste of what it's like being in a presidential election

And she wants it again soooo bad.
Her days are over.

[lastlib]

45. Sez the brilliant political analyst Sarah "Quitter" Palin

Thank you for your dazzling insights, Sparklemoose! We all need the benefit of your intellectual firepower.....

(Now excuse me while I go choke back my laughter with the bathroom plunger...........)

Thank God (and McCain) for the Queen of Babble-On! Without her, where would we get our jollies?

[Tommy_Carcetti]

46. At this point, I'm all for it.

America's already going to hell if they elect Trump. Might as well nominate someone equally as crazy for VP for entertainment purposes.

Besides, a Trump-Palin ticket might act as a deterrent for people who think the GOP could revolt and impeach Trump to get a more stable VP in office.

[ronnykmarshall]

47. She looked loaded.

[CTyankee]

49. It's more scary when you realize she ISN'T loaded...that's her being normal and sober.

OMG...

[BlueStater]

50. Palin is such a piece of shit that I'd even root for Ryan against her.

She's the political equivalent of Kim Kardashian. A waste of everyone's fucking time.

[47of74]

52. Jesus Christ, what the f--k did I just read?

Jesus Sarah try speaking in complete sentences for once in your life.

[Takket]

55. with friends like these, who needs enemies?
