Sarah Palin isn't gone, she's just waiting for those Reagan Democrats to turn out

Many people are saying that Sarah Palin's exit from Fox News means she's gone forever from American politics and society.  I disagree.  Either her and Fox will rejoin efforts later on; or somewhere someone will give her a platform to spew her stupidity.  Or if by 2016 she isn't getting the attention she thinks she deserves, she'll run for president to get back in the spotlight and to make millions again.  Also, I can see her running for office in 2014 just to get her name back in rotation if need be.  Politics is popularity and it's as addictive as any drug.  Palin is an addict.

Just because it's so easy, her latest delusional rant she gave the right wing America-hating website Breitbart deserves a mention.  Her reflections on Mitt Romney's loss:

Conservatism didn’t lose. A moderate Republican candidate lost after he was perceived to alienate working class Reagan Democrat and Independent voters who didn’t turn out for him as much as they did for the McCain/Palin ticket in 2008," Palin said. "Granted, those same voters also didn’t turn out for Obama as strongly either.

Huh????  So once again, after suffering a huge electoral loss on the national stage, Republicans still didn't lose.  This is insane and it takes someone just as insane to repeat such garbage.

Moreover, she says a "moderate Republican" lost because working class Reagan Democrats and Independents didn't turn out for him as much as they did for her and McCain four years earlier.  This is pure delusion.  Mitt Romney/Paul Ryan got 997,145 more votes than McCain and Palin.  This very easy and very simple math means more people turned out for Romney/Ryan than McCain/Palin.  She's completely senile.  There's no way you can possibly say Reagan Dems (whatever those are) and Independents didn't turn out more for Romney than McCain.

More importantly, if you're still running your electoral fortunes on the term "Reagan Democrats," you've already lost.  That was 32 years ago.  The electorate is no where near the same as it was then.  It's not even the same as it was in 2004. Democrats aren't even the same now.  And neither are Republicans.  Reagan supported gun legislation, raised taxes 11 times, doubled tripled the federal debt, grew government to enormous levels, ran chronic budget deficits every year, and supported amnesty for immigrants.  He could never get elected by today's GOP.

Waiting for those "Reagan Democrats" to turn out is actually right where I want the GOP to be.  Losing.

*Editor's Note:

The original publication of this stated Ronald Reagan had "doubled" the federal debt.  This is no where near correct.  Reagan TRIPLED the federal debt.  We apologize for the error.
