Van Jones just pointed out that Sarah Palin was used by Trump and thrown into the garbage can.

She didn't get a speaking slot at the Cleveland GOP Convention and Trump said it was too far for her to fly. Food for thought for the whole GOP who seem to want Trump to win.

much money for Trump to pay her to speak, or she is being kicked to the side. I agree that this is how Trump repays loyalty.

"endorsement" she gave for him, he just might be right.

He was going for the laugh, but there's something wrong with Ms. Palin--she's got some kind of substance abuse issue, either that, or get her to hospital, she's had a stroke.

and those who see stupid, ignorant politicians reassuringly as "people like me." He's not known officially as being an anti-Obama bigot, as she is, but her supporters likely infer it from the package. He's one of them.

Btw, her speech endorsing Trump last January was also something a train wreck in itself.

That's all I got. With a convention crying out for speaking talent, filling slot after slot with bottom scrapings, why wasn't Palin invited to speak?
