In reply to the discussion: Sarah Palin and Donald Trump both interested in 2016 runs [View all]undiegrinder
(79 posts)34. I respectfully disagree.
While Trump is just a self-aggrandizing moron, Palin "distracts" with a steady spew of dog-whistle racism: "shuck n' jive," "lackadaisical," etc.
The fact that her reality/freak show's 15 minutes has lasted 6 years and counting -- that her ignorant, divisive 'punditry' is STILL being reported by the 'lamestream media' -- reveals that she's a figurehead and spokesperson for the vicious hatred which has fueled Republican ostructionism, the cost of which to America can be measured in billions of dollars.
In return, Palin gets the only two things she really loves: money and attention.
I SO wish someone could find the legal means to end her virtually-treasonous "distractions."

No, not really. It's just attention which leads to ratings which leads to more money for doing jack
