Bold Prediction: Sarah Palin Will Endorse Ron Paul on Sept 3rd

[Ronpauljones]

Paul/Palin would be a terrible ticket, in my opinion. I love Paul, but I will not vote for him if Palin becomes his running mate.

It would be a set-up to kill Paul to make Palin president. Just like they tried to kill Reagan to make Bush Sr. president.

 

[V3n]

They have been calling Ron Paul a maverick a lot lately...

 

[Shane Harris]

I've been saying this for freakin' months. I've written to Palin regularly about this. Here's the logic for Palin:

Endorse Ron Paul and watch his poll numbers jump due to the influx of an entirely new Republican base. Palin's power as kingmaker is proven, thus giving her more power, popularity, and money-making ability. It doesn't matter if Ron Paul wins or not, it only matters that he surges after the Palin endorsement. It doesn't matter if Ron Paul wins, it only matters that he's given new media attention due to the Palin nod. Palin gets something from a Ron Paul endorsement that she couldn't get with any other candidate.

If Palin endorsed Perry, the endorsement would mean nothing. It would be Palin jumping on an already winning horse. That reduces Palin's power, it does not expand it. If Palin endorsed Romney, she would again be endorsing a guy who everyone already thinks can win; how could Palin ever prove that her endorsement caused the change of tides in Romney's campaign? She couldn't. A Romney endorsement reduces Palin power, it does not expand it. Bachmann is a joke and a threat to the Palin brand. The sooner Bachmann is out, the better for Palin. For Palin to endorse Bachmann would be a permanent loss of power to Palin as Bachmann becomes the new Palin. A Bachmann endorsement reduces Palin power, it does not expand it. Only a Ron Paul endorsement (due to his low expectations, outsider status, lack of media attention, and small popularity with the Palin momma grizzlies) could prove Palin's power and thereby expand it. It does not matter if Ron Paul wins, it only matters for Palin that her endorsement is seen as invaluable, which is exactly what it would be for Ron Paul.

Look at the matching language of Palin and Paul. Palin says she's not part of the status quo; Ron Paul says all other candidates are the status quo. Palin says we don't need a fundamental transformation of America, we need a restoration of America; Ron Paul's campaign slogan is "Restore America Now". Again, the language of Palin and Paul matches. It's a natural endorsement. And it was likely planned long ago as long as Paul proved himself in Ames and with continued growth post-Ames (because there'd have been no point in Palin sticking her neck out if Ron Paul had no chance--that would reduced Palin's power, not expanded it; no, Ron Paul needs to have a chance, but be perceived as having no chance--that's when Palin endorses).

Palin will not be a VP pick, nor will she want to be. She doesn't want to risk ruining the king she's made. She's more than happy to take credit for everything and enjoy her own flourishing new popularity and power. If anything, she may wish to be Secretary of State (a la Hillary) so that she can become educated on foreign affairs (which is what the media really hit her with when she ran in '08). As a former governor and US secretary of state, no media will ever be able to question Palin again on her experience and knowledge. Again, her power is set as Secretary of State in a way no other office could provide her at this point in her career. I'm not saying she will be Secretary of State (she may very well only want outsider influence), I'm merely saying that it's the most likely position of government she would want.

EDIT: Is it just coincidence that Palin's Sept. 3 Iowa announcement is at a Tea Party event titled "Restoring America"? I think not. It's the perfect spot for a "Father of the Tea Party" "Restore America Now" Ron Paul endorsement. And it attacks Bachmann, the biggest threat to Palin power, on her home turf, proving once and for all who the queen bee of the Tea Party really is: Sarah Palin.

Listen to the radio spot for the event and tell me you don't feel it sets the stage for a Ron Paul endorsement: http://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2011/08/22/tea_party_group_releases_ad_promoting_palin_iowa_s peech.html

agree that it is the right thing to do not only for our country but for her popularity and attention. however do you really think she wants to be bullied by EVERYONE the same way Ron is. She would know that endorsing him would mean that now she has to be asked the same difficult questions that Ron gets asked :" youre cool with iran blowing up israel? you are a member of hate-america-first? you hate compromise? you think fema is unnecessary? you want heroine legalized? you think america asked for 9-11? you want to legalize prostitution?" the FOX news crowd hates rp so much that this would be far more likely to cause them to hate palin rather than love ron. she has to see that possibility and know the extreme risks. she will do what is easiest and least likely to cause her damage and experience the kind of political bullying that ron gets all the time. prob remain a rogue until the general then support whoever gets the nomination regardless of who it is so long as they have an R next tot heir name.

 

[WilliamC]

It would be a set-up to kill Paul to make Palin president. Just like they tried to kill Reagan to make Bush Sr. president.

Yes but it also presupposes the very worst motivations to too much of the 'establishment' for me to attach a high degree of probability to.

I mean I know that there are some who are able to and have motivation to think this way, and that they have great influence, but I don't think that they are all powerful and unfailing.

Just because Ron Paul may have to accept a non-libertarian VP candidate to get the GOP nomination doesn't mean he's automatically going to be done for, there is far too much uncertainty in such a move to make it worthwhile to implement.

But that doesn't mean somebody doesn't need to be worried about it, just not necessarily in public.

 

[mit26chell]

She cannot sit there and say she is against the status quo, then say she supports Rick Perry or Mitt Romney for President. That wouldn't make too much sense.

Yes she can. This is the flaw in your logic. Look at Bachmann, who is a part of the status quo, but has been campaigning on a tea party platform after voting for the Patriot Act, supporting Israel over the US, promising war against Iran, supporting illegal wars, voting for stimulus bills, etc.

 

[RDM]

Here's my take on the whole situation. My predictions are basically derived from studying Psychopolitics for a good many years and studying past elections and how the "Establishment" has incorporated this method in the past.

First and foremost, Palin will NOT announce herself as a candidate for Presidency. With that said, I believe she will stay on the sidelines and not endorse anyone outright for some time. Perry's "Flavor of the Month" ride is going to come to a halt once the debates begin to take place and he begins to get exposed for what he is.

The talk lately making its rounds in the media circuit is a Third Party candidate. This is not random speaking, this is a planned strategy. This is where the waters begin to get muddled. This strategy is now being pushed to dilute the voting pool and cause confusion. (A main strategy of psychopolitics) I will address this later.

In order to understand this, I need to break things down in how I have this mapped out so far by my observations. When using the method of psychopolitcs in order to elect "pre-selected" Presidents, there are different types of candidates. Here's the groups:
1. You have the "pre-selected" establishment approved candidates for President. This group right now consists of Obama(sitting president and previously "pre-selected" candidate. Romney, Perry, Cain, Gingrich and Huntsmann. This group would be classified as the "players".
2. The current field of "anti-establishment" candidates are currently Bachmann and Ron Paul. (Palin can be bought)
3. You have the manipulators. These are "establishment" approved figures to help guide public sentiment toward a candidate. Currently right now Donald Trump is the main character playing that role. As soon as Gingrich drops out of the running, he will join this group along with the other active "establishment" candidates I have listed above once they drop out. But the King Player is still Donald Trump and his role will gain prominence as the 2012 election unfolds. Other names in this group can and will include Gullianni and Christie.
4. There are diversion candidates. These are candidates that are hyped up by the "establishment" to cause further dilution and confusion in the voter poll. Paul Ryan and Marco Rubio are current prime examples of as late. There will be one or two more possibly.

Sorry if this is a little confusing, but this method of "psychopolitics" can be confusing and it's designed that way on purpose. I'm also trying to explain this the best way I know how not being a professional writer, so bare with me. One thing to keep in mind is that using this method, "the establishment" tries to make it nearly impossible for their "pre-selected" candidate NOT to become President. This method has worked flawlessly for about 50 years with one exception, when it almost backfired on them when Ross Perot almost was on the verge of becoming the "favorite" candidate for President and his poll numbers were rising rapidly until he mysteriously removed himself from the running. (Someone got to him)

Basically what I have mapped out right now with a few scenarios and I might be off a little on a person or two, but I believe I'm fairly close. The "establishment" hands down is trying to keep Ron Paul out of this at all costs. Bachmann is also a threat, but not seriously feared by the "establishment" as RP.

The "establishment" along with the "Five Mega-Corp" controlled media( which controls over 60% of all media) are pushing Perry and Romney real hard right now. You have Donald Trump (manipulator) casually supporting Perry and casually supporting Palin to run.

Ron Paul has already made it clear he will not go 3rd party ticket. This scares the "establishment" tremendously, now that RP's numbers are soaring. The establishment needs to throw up a road block to prevent this. Hence the introduction of a 3rd party candidate. More on this later.

My best analysis right now is that I believe Perry has the likes of Guilliani or Rubio pegged for a possible VP running mate. Romney, from what I can see will either team up with Herman Cain or someone not in the limelight right now.

Donald Trump will announce his candidacy as a 3rd Party candidate with his focus on Palin as his running mate.

What does this do? 1. It either dilutes the vote so much that Obama gets re-elected. 2. It either gets Romney or Perry out in the forefront as the GOP candidate which the "establishment" doesn't care if either one gets elected since both are "pre-selected". 3. They play the voters are disgusted so much they'll vote a 3rd party candidate like Donald Trump (who once was a Democrat) into office and is friendly and non-threatening to the "establishment".

This why getting Ron Paul, the GOP nomination is so DAMN important. Every effort must be taken. His campaign needs to run like a well oiled machine without any mistakes or missed opportunities. There is one shot at this and the time is NOW!!! I strongly believe if Ron Paul is not elected, our country is HISTORY....FINISHED...No More!!! You might as well write the obituary now.

 

[ericams2786]

Don't know if this counts for anything, but I thought the same thing about a Palin endorsement the other day because on my Facebook I noticed she had posted something on her wall from the Campaign for Liberty and mentioned a huge announcement on Sept. 3 at the same time...

 

[fatjohn]

This would be spun the following:

OMG Sarah Palin is not running​

She endorsed Ron Paul​

 

[Article V]

agree that it is the right thing to do not only for our country but for her popularity and attention.

Good. Glad we all see this. Because if we see it, Palin does too.

however do you really think she wants to be bullied by EVERYONE the same way Ron is.

She already is bullied by everyone. She can take it. The abuse is what gives her her outsider status, and the outsider status is what gives her her power.

She would know that endorsing him would mean that now she has to be asked the same difficult questions that Ron gets asked :" youre cool with iran blowing up israel? you are a member of hate-america-first? you hate compromise? you think fema is unnecessary? you want heroine legalized? you think america asked for 9-11? you want to legalize prostitution?"

Palin picks the interviews she wants. She doesn't need to take interviews she doesn't want. She's not running for anything, so she only has to move around the country on her bus waving to the crowds to prove her power. She can avoid any tough questions. And, on the off chance she does get a tough "Ron Paul" question, all she has to do is refer to her talking points about the Founders, the Constitution, and our debt being the biggest threat to America and the most important problem to address. All other issues take a distant fourth place to those three issues according to Palin.

The FOX news crowd hates rp so much that this would be far more likely to cause them to hate palin rather than love ron. she has to see that possibility and know the extreme risks.

The FOX news crowd loves discussing the power and unpredictable nature of the Palin factor. They would not attack her for the endorsement, they would instead use it as an example to support their already established thesis on Palin: she's a rogue, she has influence, and she unpredictable.

She will do what is easiest and least likely to cause her damage and experience the kind of political bullying that ron gets all the time. prob remain a rogue until the general then support whoever gets the nomination regardless of who it is so long as they have an R next tot heir name.

Waiting to endorse the Republican nominee is the riskiest and most damaging thing Palin could do. Palin needs to prove her might or she will slowly fade from political importance. Waiting hurts her because it turns her brand into a predictable, also-endorsed-by, johnny-come-lately, nothing-new-to-see-here brand. If Palin wants to protect the Palin empire she's built, she needs to continue to break the mold, not fade into the woodwork.

 

[anaconda]

The other thing we're forgetting is that if Ron doesn't win the nomination, anyone who endorsed him looks better and better in the aftermath, as the economy begins its really serious and accelerated plunge into the shitter, of which we have seen perhaps only the tip of the iceberg. Just as Ron has made great strides in each of the last 4 years, he and Rand will make dramatic and continued progress in the near future as their prophet status becomes solidified. Palin would reap many of the same benefits under this scenario. In fact, if Palin wants maximum bounce from this strategy, she should not endorse another candidate if Ron fails to win the nomination.

 

[Ronpauljones]

I strongly believe if Ron Paul is not elected, our country is HISTORY....FINISHED...No More!!! You might as well write the obituary now.

I agree that there won't be a United States in 2016 if Ron Paul isn't elected this time. We're on life support right now and the globalists are reaching for the plug....

Edit: I also agree with 99% of the rest of your post.

 

[Shane Harris]

i still disagree. youre right she is always bullied. from the left. fox is her lifeblood and she would all of a sudden become a target for bullying from both sides. i highly doubt she jeopardizes her relationship with fox, as much as i wish she would.

good analysis, though i dont think cain is pre-selected, although i believe cain, huntsman, santorum, and gingrich are all running for VP at this point. nice to see another rpfer from southwest pa. i'm from greensburg!

If she endorse, I almost guarantee it will be a governor.

Hello to Greensburg! Herman Cain sat on the board as Chairman of the Kansas City Federal Reserve Bank. That's why I have him as a "in the process of being groomed" by the establishment.

[Eric21ND]

I don't share your optimism but I do agree with your enthusiasm.

A Palin endorsement would be huge, and a Paul/Palin ticket would seem to me an unbeatable combination.

It could even address the issue of Ron Pauls age, which WILL be a BIG issue should he win the nomination.

But of course all this depends upon the two principals involved and whether or not their principles are congruent enough.

And yes, I just deliberately used principal and principle correctly in the same sentence.

Sometimes I even impress myself, but this isn't one of those times

A Palin endorsement would be huge, I agree. Having Palin on the ballot would be as toxic in the general election as having Jesse Ventura. Look at Paul's draw from independents +10% over Obama...Palin tanks against Obama, independents hate her...Obama beats her by 20 points in the general.

 

[Matthew Zak]

Ron wouldn't pick her for VP. No effing way.

 

[Eric21ND]

Now this is a good post! You're really getting more into the psyche and psychology of Sarah Palin. She got burned by the establishment types before with McCain and everyone else throwing her under the bus. Palin is a folksy, salt-of-the-earth type person and she could naturally gravitate toward a family like the Pauls, who won't ever demean her or insult her. I think Palin would like loyal friends, especially intellectual titans like the Pauls. I think the only people she'd endorse early are either Perry or Paul.

 

[Wren]

It's nice to speculate, but I'm honestly not holding my breath for this endorsement. Palin's biggest issue is Iran/Israel, and RP does not share her views that we should be Israel's eternal protector.
