Apparently Sarah Palin won’t be speaking at the 2016 Republican convention, according to Trump, whose reasoning seems a bit suspect:
CNN – It’s a long way from Alaska to Ohio — a bit too long for Sarah Palin, apparently.
The former Alaska governor was a noticeable absence from a partial list of speakers announced to speak at next week’s Republican National Convention in Cleveland.
In an interview with the Washington Examiner on Thursday, Trump said that Palin was asked to speak, but that the distance ultimately precluded her from making the trip.“It’s a little bit difficult because of where she is,” Trump said, referring to Palin’s home state of Alaska. “We love Sarah. Little bit difficult because of, you know, it’s a long ways away.”
What kind of excuse is that? Distance, really? That’s never stopped her before from doing stuff in the states.
Something else is going on here.
Maybe Sarah is upset that she’s not the VP choice again?
