OMFG. Palin was in fine word salad form at Trump endorsement. Bizarre as usual.

Her Bagger Haiku was almost...poetic. From Vanity Fair:

The 11 Most Fire Rhymes in Sarah Palin’s Endorsement of Trump

The “right wingin’, bitter clingin’, proud clingers” were out in full force.

by Kia Makarechi,

Wasilla’s wailing prophet descended onto Iowa on Tuesday to endorse Donald Trump. The politics of Sarah Palin’s decision to back the billionaire—and not her old pal Ted Cruz—has been much dissected. But what struck this blogger was the virtuoso nature of her speech, a performance that seemed more like a free-verse poetry slam than anything resembling a politician’s prepared remarks.

Palin began by saying that she and her husband, Todd, were “just thawing out” in Iowa. And boy, did she warm up. Below, the most fire bars from Palin’s nearly 20-minute ode to Trump.

“Looking around at all of you, you hard-working Iowa families. /
You farm families, and teachers, and teamsters, and cops, and cooks. /
You rockin’ rollers. /
And holy rollers!”

“No more pussyfootin’ around! /
Our troops deserve the best, you deserve the best! /
He is from the private sector, not a politician. /
Can I get a ‘Hallelujah!’”

“Are you ready for a commander in chief, /
you ready for a commander in chief /
who will let our warriors do their job /
and go kick ISIS ass?”

“We, you, a diverse, dynamic, /
needed support base /
that they would attack.”

“How ’bout the rest of us? /
Right wingin’, bitter clingin’, /
proud clingers of our guns, our God, /
and our religions, and our Constitution. /
Tell us that we’re not red enough?”

They are incapable of understanding that she's linking them at random with word salad.

That's what makes them so frightening, their deep and well cultivated stupidity.
