In many respects, Sarah Palin and Donald Trump have little in common. She is a small-town girl from Alaska who hunts moose and any other creature on hooves. Trump is a big-city boy from Manhattan who hunts fortunes. While Palin has ties to conservatives and evangelicals, Trump is neither conservative nor evangelical. In the 21st […]
