Video of the Day – Sarah Palin’s Rambling, Bizarre and Incoherent Endorsement of Donald Trump

At the end of this ramble she did say “and the Constitution” but seems it was cut out of this clip.

Liberty Blitzkrieg – by Michael Krieger

Sarah Palin endorses Donald Trump. Like watching a train wreck.

Enjoy.

Reason’s Peter Suderman sums up the spectacle perfectly:

Sarah Palin summed up Donald Trump supporters better than any of us have been able to do so far, I’ll give her that.

In part this is because making sense isn’t really Palin’s style. But it’s also because there is no coherent defense of Donald Trump’s candidacy. His own argument is little more than a simple boast that he will make the country great, like it used to be, followed by a series of insults and a discussion of his poll numbers.

To the extent that he proposes anything resembling actual policies, they tend to be implausible fantasies, designed more as insults and power plays than ideas for governance. His speeches go long on personal boasting, and he dismisses most questions of governance by appealing to his own innate ability to overcome obstaces. You cannot make a reasoned case for Trump, because there is no such case to be made. 

Palin’s support was incoherent, then, in part because that’s how she is, and part because it could be no other way. Support for Trump is not based on reason or argument or logic or even a sense of what Trump would actually do as president, but on his personal appeal as a businessman and political entertainer, and a related sense of how and what the country would be. It is not really a political campaign at all, so much as an extended act of fantasy and wish-fulfillment for both him and his supporters.

In a way, then, Palin’s speech was the perfect endorsement for Donald Trump’s campaign: an incoherent mess of angry, resentful sentiment, delivered in a way designed to provide the maximum in media spectacle. Palin effectively—and, okay, somewhat poetically—captured and amplified the identity-politics-driven nonsense that feeds both the candidate and his supporters.

    I think Sarah needs to stop dying her hair.
    If she really wants to support Trump..
    She should do the Trump hair comb over and velcro it to her forehead.
    Now that’s what I call an endorsement.
    I predict Trump is going to win.
    Not because I endorse him.
    But because he’s the best candidate to make fun of on Saturday Night Live.
    The Trump on SNL.
    Somebody’s practicing their best Trump impersonation right now in front of a mirror.
    Gotta work on those fish lips puckered up for those jewish bankers.
    Ya know… that Blowfish pucker look without Hootie.
