Sarah Palin: Trump's Carrier deal is 'crony capitalism'
By MADELINE CONWAY 12/02/16 04:28 PM EST
Another conservative is calling crony capitalism on Donald Trumps deal with Carrier, albeit an unexpected one Sarah Palin.
In an op-ed for the website Young Conservatives, the former Alaska governor allowed that the details behind the manufacturers decision to keep some 1,000 jobs in Indiana at the president-elects behest, rather than move them to Mexico, are not yet clear. But touting the value of free markets, Palin signaled her disapproval if it was a case of political intrusion using a stick or carrot to bribe or force one individual business to do what politicians insist.

What the hell is the future president of the United States doing engaging himself in 'talks' like this?
We literally went from having a president who was a constitutional law professor to a president who is a carnival barker.
How did we get here?

and not having a successful formula for retroactive birth control.
But hey, that's just my take.
