I guess Sarah doesn't want that cabinet job anyways.

Sarah Palin: Trump's Carrier deal is 'crony capitalism'

“When government steps in arbitrarily with individual subsidies, favoring one business over others, it sets inconsistent, unfair, illogical precedent,” she asserted.

And in an apparent jab at Trump, whom she famously endorsed in a rambling speech earlier this year, she asked: “Republicans oppose this, remember? Instead, we support competition on a level playing field, remember? Because we know special interest crony capitalism is one big fail.”​

Either that or she was already turned down.

Wouldn't surprise me. Both of them seem to act with such pettiness a lot.
 
Doesn't the Left claim she's stupid?

Phew! I was worried last week when I heard a pundit theorize there might be a position for Palin somewhere on team Trump. I think it is safe to say that is not going to be happening. Phew, thanks Sarah!:mrgreen:
 
Palin outsmarts President-Elect Trump in economics.

Hmm, i feel like i should be surprised by this, but i'm not. I'd so much rather see McCain/Palin heading into the white house.

Since you on the right are always claiming she's a genius, perhaps you'd like to explain who's wrong here. The genius or the Messiah?

I wonder if Trump backed out of the offer, and she is serving up a slice of revenge.

I would not trust Barbie with a liquor cabinet, never mind her having a place at the grownups table.

Can't dispute the OP, so you just cry about "the left", even though they have exactly jack and **** to do with the topic?

Trump looks interested in offering a cabinet position to people, then has goes with another person. He has done it a couple of times. He may even do it with Romney and the Sec of State position.

Then there is Palin. She is definitely not the team player type, and that probably has a lot to do with her political career stalling. Her and Trump working together is going to cause drama, pettiness, etc.

Why is Governer Palin suddenly credible to the Communist Left?

If you actually read his post, he never said anything about this. Why do you so often quote people and not address what they say?

No one says shes credible. Yet again, you not even remotely addressing what you quoted.

I disagree, because this isn't a case of the, "government", stepping in, "arbitrarily with individual subsidies, favoring one business over others". As far as we know President Trump made a phone call and smooth talked them into staying. Maybe he promised something. He may have promised to keep Carrier's products tied up in customs to the point where Carrier starts losing money on those units.

In principle she is right when all things are equal but here in the real world she is making an impractical criticism.

You just used her as a source to bash President Trump, so she must have some credibility. Are things this ****ed up in Liberal Land?

IMHO, yes. Will Trump add a tax credit if a company checks the "I was planning to offshore but backed out" box?
