Sarah Palins meandering, fiery, sarcastic, patriotic and blustery speech endorsing Donald J. Trump for president on Tuesday in Ames, Iowa, does not easily submit to categorization.
It has been described as performance art, a filibuster, even slam poetry.
Mrs. Palin has always been a singular force on the campaign trail. But in her years away from politics, the former Alaska governor and Senator John McCains Republican vice-presidential pick in 2008 seems to have spurred a whole new series of idiosyncratic expressions and unusual locutions to the point where even Mr. Trump seemed occasionally mystified as he tried to follow along.
Below, a list of 10 of the more memorable lines of the speech, and an attempt to translate them:
They stomp on our neck, and then they tell us, Just chill, O.K., just relax. Well, look, we are mad, and weve been had. They need to get used to it.
An impressive example of internal rhyme if a tad violent, as Mrs. Palin describes the Republican establishment trying to quash the anger of the partys rebellious base.
