Palin gives strong speech at Madison rally
Image by Getty Images via @daylife...She has the ability to stir the passions of many in the Republican party. Whether she will choose to use that talent in a race for President is still and open question, but it is also one that still intrigues many. I think she is right on most of the issues. Her biggest problem is the hate emanating from the left, particularly the left in the media. She would certainly liven up the race.
She waded forcefully into the state’s white-hot battle over government union power, giving her full-throated support to Gov. Scott Walker: “These are the front lines in the battle of the future for our country. A pension is a promise that must be kept. Scott Walker understands this. He understands that states must be solvent to keep their promises. He’s not trying to hurt union members. Hey folks, he’s trying to save your jobs.”
Then, perfectly capturing the real-time mood of the conservative grassroots, Palin scorched the ever-shrinking budget deal negotiated by congressional Republicans. “We didn’t elect you just to rearrange the deck chairs on a sinking Titanic. What we need from you, GOP, is to fight.” She then urged Washington Republicans to take a page from the national champion University of Wisconsin women’s hockey team and “learn how to fight like a girl.”
Finally, it was President Barack Obama’s turn. She defended, to great cheering, Wisconsin’s own Paul Ryan from the president’s blindside attack on his bold budget plan. Palin contrasted it with Obama’s 2009 stimulus plan, describing it as a “trillion-dollar travesty.” She mocked his latest economic proposals as naive bets on “really fast trains and solar shingles.” The clincher: “Our president isn’t leading; he’s punting on this debt crisis. Win the future? The only future he wants to win is his re-election.”

Here’s how John Nolte of Big Government put it:
If Sarah Palin’s not running for president, what a terrible waste that would be of the single best stump speech I’ve heard since, well, Palin’s ’08 convention speech, which just happened to be the single most electrifying political moment of my adult life. … On this day, Tea Party tax-day, Sarah Palin walked into the heart of this nation’s battle, stared down a gallery of Leftist union goons with poise and grace, and articulated our message as well as anyone ever could. Let’s hope this is just the beginning.So MSM, keep obsessing over the shiny new Trump toy if you must. But better keep an eye on a certain sharpshooting, grizzly mama. She’s back.
I think Trump has a difficult path. He is only starting to get the kind of opposition in the media that Palin has been getting for years. Trump also has a difficult speaking style. It is more educated than someone who is constantly saying "you know." But. he is used to talking to people who know where he is going so he clips his thoughts into bites that maybe too small to persuade a campaign audience. He also needs to address the main issues of the day such as the budget and energy policy.
Now that he has gotten people's attention with his argument about where Obama was born, he needs to pivot to real stuff that will effect where we are going as a nation. He seems to be obsessed with Iraq and OPED, but the real battle on energy is one being fought in this country on whether we will be allowed to develop our own resources. That is an issue where Palin is miles ahead of him.
Where does he stand on the budget? Is he with the House Republicans or with Obama? If he has said, I missed it, but then I have not been following his every word and the media is obsessed with his claims about Obama's birth and is also ignoring the meat of the debate on issues that are really important/
