Somebody needs to replace MTG and/or Boebert as the Resident Female Republican Nutcase. Might as well be Palin.
As crazy as Palin is, I don’t think she’s quite on the level of MTG and Boebert as being nuts.
Give her a chance. She can do it. Of course, she’ll probably quit mid-term.
Oh, great. Give her something to strive for.
She’s politically known for two things; losing and quitting. Go for it, Sarah!
I would love to see her go down in flames in the primary. Maybe she would finally crawl back under her rock.
She’s probably not conservative/crazy enough to win a Republican primary these days.
Trump will support her because he wants to schtup her.
She’s too old for him.
Point there. But anyway… Anyone familiar with AK politics know of what plausible contenders could there be for the seat, any putative rising stars among the general clown show? Or is it in fact gonna be Reality TV Central randos on parade? 'cause I don’t get the vibe that either Young or Murkowski were exactly grooming a political heir.
The most recognizable name at this point is Nick Begich III. He’s the grandson of Nick Begich, who was a representative in 1970-72, but who died when his plane disappeared on a routine flight to Juneau. He had already won another term when this happened, and his Republican opponent was. . .ready?. . .Don Young, who assumed the seat when it was clear that Begich was not going to be found. I actually had a night class taught by the man in about 1966.
Anyway, I’m sure that the grandson sees opportunity here, has the name recognition, and is a conservative. I’m also pretty sure that Nick, Sr. is rolling in his grave at the idea.
It’s official:
Christ, just go away you stupid twat.
The freak show will continue…
“America is at a tipping point. As I’ve watched the far left destroy the country, I knew I had to step up and join the fight,” Palin said in Friday’s statement.
To coin a phrase from Tucker Carlson (only about other things, of course), “How has the far left destroyed the country? Be specific with your answer.”
The way she worded that makes it sound like she’s joining the Left.
Proper grammar is a librul leftist plot.
Paul Waldman, WaPo columnist, discusses candidate Palin:
His general thesis of this essay: Palin now seeks to join a Congress that is now full of crazy uber-Palinesque figures that out-Palin Palin. She won’t stand out like she might have 22 years ago.
Wait, so Palin announcing her intention to run on April 1st wasn’t an April Fools’ joke?!
Looks like he simply wrote that article a few days afterward.
