Where in the world is Sarah Palin? Her political star is fading

http://www.ksdk.com/ext/news/nation-now/where-in-the-world-is-sarah-palin-her-political-star-is-fading/63/nationnow/3fQ0lzoKpiaU6Ay0CI68cm
"NATIONAL HARBOR, Md. — As the Conservative Political Action Conference kicked off just outside of Washington this week, there was one name noticeably missing from the roster of speakers: Sarah Palin.

The former Alaska governor used to be a rock star at the annual conservative gathering. But this year she wasn’t invited to CPAC, put on by the American Conservative Union.

“I think conservatives might be trying to rebrand a little bit,” said Adrianna Conradson, a student from University of Colorado at Colorado Springs. “Maybe that’s why they didn’t invite people we typically see.”

“They have Kellyanne now,” Conradson said, referring to President Trump’s senior adviser and former campaign manager who spoke Thursday morning. Conway was the first woman to successfully run a presidential campaign. “She’s a strong female leader in the party, so I think they might be trying to switch it up and find new people, fresh people. And she has a big role in the current administration so she might be more relevant than Sarah Palin.”"

Less publicity, less money for Sara...less and less.....Good by Sara...

you will now be placed in the trash bin of history, (at the bottom)..
Hard to think of a more deserving person for the very bottom of that trash bin..

Perhaps...just perhaps people here can name a few others who belong at that very bottom..

One little bit. Someone else on this thread mentioned that she might have a alcohol or drug issue...I tend to agree. Holy hell, what happens when she finds jeezus again and kicks the sauce? Hopefully she doesn't find her way back to civilization.

if you say her name three times she'll appear, and then you have to send her back afterward which could turn out to be more troublesome than Beetlejuice.

Who really cares? She should have been irrelevant years ago. It seems that the media has FINALLY stopped giving a shit about her. With Trump pretty much sucking all the crazy out of the room at the moment, her brand of lunacy is boring by comparison.

That sounds like a joke, but it isn't.

It might have been last season, though. I was watching on demand while I walked on the treadmill and I don't know the date.

Notice how the article said CPAC now has Conway. Apparently CPAC has room for only one woman at a time. They need only one token female at a time
