do joint appearances. she did not go on to do really anything for the campaign after that initial endorsement announcement that got so weird. when it came time for the republican national convention this past summer, donald trump had a very transparently awkward explanation for why governor palin would not be appearing at the convention for him even though everyone from scott baio to all of his children would be. i noticed that sarah palin wasn t on the list. did she not ask for a speaking role? will. no, she on she was asked, it was difficult because wherever she is. we love sarah. little difficult because it s a long ways away. but sarah will always be with us, and sarah s involved. sarah will always be with us. alaska is very far from cleveland, particularly if you walk. it s not like alaska to ohio is an insurmountable physical
but in the end, despite the enthusiasm for a palin/trump matchup, it didn t work out for her to be a part of the trump campaign. palin and trump did not go on to do joint appearances. she did not do anything for that campaign after that initial endorsement announcement that got so weird. when it came time for the republican national convention this past summer, donald trump had a very transparentally awkward explanation for why governor palin would not be appearing at the convention for him, even though everyone from scott baio to all of his children would be. i noticed that sarah palin wasn t on the list. did she not ask for a speaking role? no, she was asked it s a little bit difficult because of where she is. we love sarah. a little bit difficult because of, you know, she s got a it s a long ways away. but sarah will always be with us, and sarah s involved.
that was released. the last time we saw her in a speaking role was at the rnc and that didn t go over well. do you want to hear more from her? do you think to overcome whatever conceptions people have based on, you know, those two public displays that people need to hear more from her, see her more in an active role? you know, i would take issue with the that she did something. i was on the floor at the debate. i covered it we are talking the rnc with the implagiarizing. yes, i thought she did a beautiful job. i think she, again, is very articulate it wasn t a setback in your view that there were plagiarized words? you are not overlooking that part are you? i don t think that we have already rehashed that. i don t think that s what i se m saying is shoulde
whoa! unbelievable. we began this campaign all of 3 1/2 months ago, and the momentum, as you can see tonight, has been nothing less than extraordinary. thank you for being here. and on monday, the senator scored an endorsement from a major union. national nurses united. the crowds are impressive. and yet the national media still streets him like he can t seriously challenge hillary clinton. jonathan, is it time senator sanders gets more respect? yeah. i think it is. he s going to be a factor in this race. he s going to win some primaries and some caucuses. the idea of hillary clinton running the table i don t think is plausible. he s going to go to that convention with some delegates. it s unlikely that he ll have enough to get the nomination, but he will be a factor. and i think you ll see him with a primetime, you know, speaking
told his father is here ron paul from texas. we understand he doesn t have a speaking role but he is there contrary to what we were told earlier. reporter: yes he is here but does not have a speaking role. the staging is important. as you look at the stage, there s the main stage where rand paul will make his announcement and off to the left as we re looking at it there is a group of chairs and that is where both of his parents prominently are featured father in the front row. what does that do? that means there will not be the hand raising moment father and son at the front of the podium. he s creating distance while at the same time giving a place of honor and respect to his parents to be here and to be seen one of the biggest ovations we ve heard is when an earlier speaker referenced ron paul. so there s energy love and respect for ron paul in this room but at the same time it s rand paul s day and by the way they have set this up no speaking role for his father.
