20. Double Standard
Wed Jan 20, 2016, 01:39 PM
Jan 2016

Yesterday people in opposition to Trump and the gang were hassling Palin for not being at home dealing with her son's problems. Today they are chastising her for being at home instead on the road with Trump.
This is ridiculous. There is plenty of real stuff to criticize both Palin and Trump for. No need to sink to this level.
The post here is nothing but muckraking and it makes the Dems sound as bad as the Repubs.
