Sarah Palin stands with Donald Trump, comes out swinging

[URL=.html][IMG][/IMG][/URL]

Washington (CNN)Days after Donald Trump talked up the idea of putting Sarah Palin in his administration, the former Republican vice presidential candidate and tea party favorite is showing she's got Trump's back.

Palin wrote Friday on the conservative Breitbart news site that Trump's candidacy will continue to appeal to "ordinary Americans" despite what she described as a bludgeon of attacks from GOP elites, pundits and the media.

Calling Trump's candidacy "a shot in the arm for ordinary Americans fed up with the predictable poll-tested blather of squishy milquetoast career politicians," Palin argued that Trump's style and message is appealing to voters and that he is tapping into "major populist grievances."

And Palin also defended Trump from criticism that is bubbling up in certain conservative circles that Trump's flip-flops on key conservative issues prove he is not a true conservative.

These two against Hillary and Julian Castro.

For once, the Democratic party could win the election without having to worry about how many million votes the cons steal, miscount, prevent by voter obstruction, etc.

It would be a slaughter and a very amusing one at that.

Getting these two close together runs the risk of creating a black hole of stupid.
