If this is what her most loyal supporters are now saying, her diva flame-out wasn't exactly a brilliant move:
Win Alaska's lone House seat in 2012 and oust Democratic senator Nick Begich in 2014.

Can we all be grown up for a minute and concede something very simple? There are three explanations for the latest circus act: either Sarah Palin is so crazy she actually believes that what she just did is good for her political career; she has decided that her future is as a celebreality star and she's pursuing the lucrative Coulter-style, long legs and fascist farrago strategy; or, a scandal of monumental proportions is about to hit.
