Poll: Palin Would Bring Much-Needed Dignity to Republican Field
BY ANDY BOROWITZ
WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)The former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin would bring much-needed dignity to the 2016 Republican field, a new poll shows.
According to the poll, conducted by the University of Minnesotas Opinion Research Institute, Palins ability to articulate her positions on issues with precision and restraint is sorely lacking among other entrants in the G.O.P. race.
Additionally, voters said that the former governors breadth of knowledge in the fields of economics, foreign affairs, and American history would place her head and shoulders above the current crop of Republican hopefuls.
In the words of one voter who was surveyed, When I hear some of these candidates talk, I sure do miss Sarah Palin.
Despite the overwhelming sense that she would contribute gravitas and intellectual rigor that have been woefully missing from the G.O.P. contest, a Palin candidacy appears unlikely, a spokesman said.
Governor Palin is very flattered by this poll, but she is concerned that being associated with this field of candidates could harm her stature, he said.

(46,110 posts)Crickets from her or her ghostwriter about Trump's attack on her "mentor", John McCain.
She could attack Trump for going after a veteran, a "war hero", or just the man who put on the 2008 ticket.
Or could she be worried about what Trump would say about her and/or her family.
Not a word on her F/B page.
