"Do you know how thoroughly distrusted you are, mainstream media?
"Well, he is now though, he is now we the people’s nominee. So suck it up, cupcake."

"He was like a golden wrecking ball," Palin said. "He wrecked what needed to be wrecked.
"They’re really freaked out now that we all came in and demolished their tight-knit tent."
