Palin, Coulter lash out at Trump "sell out"

Both Ann Coulter and Sarah Palin criticized the president-elect on Friday, following months of staunchly supporting his election.

“Sounds like the big sell-out is coming. Oh well. The voters did what we could,” Coulter tweeted Friday. “If Trump sells out, it’s not our fault.”

Palin is mad about Trump’s plan to keep air conditioning plant Carrier in the United States by giving the company a multimillion-dollar tax incentive.

“When government steps in arbitrarily with individual subsidies, favoring one business over others, it sets inconsistent, unfair, illogical precedent,” the former Alaska governor wrote in an op-ed on the website Young Conservatives.

Sarah sure is pretty, isn't she?

Trump made an awesome deal for someone who isn't even in office. Palin and others are free to disagree. Won't be the first time I disagree with either of those 2, but I still love both! Trump is going to be different than what we are accustomed to, no matter the rants. And some will say "it's the same old same old". Sure, we have a president that was willing to sit back and do nothing, and now we have a citizen that negotiated a deal to keep jobs here.

+ Jobs
+ paychecks
+ money in the economy

No matter how you slice it, it's a good deal for the extremely low price tag. These folks were long gone, but not the same anymore. And while some complain - explain why thew dems, republicans and the president were just willing to let it happen?

I honestly don't care, they are positives no matter how you slice it. Some will condemn Trump if he caught a baby falling from a burning building.

I can see how some might take it that way.

That's for sure, but some would praise him if he shot an innocent in the middle of Times Square as well.

It is a deal that benefited the company more than the workers. It was a small concession in the VP-elect's home state.
What happens when other, larger companies seek the same type of deal?

gabby. For someone like you who constantly claims to be so much smarter than everyone else here. Perhaps the joke's on you. Companies, Businesses, and Corporations are in business, with employee's, products, services, and factories to MAKE MONEY.
The only concession here is that you are such a totally UNINFORMED liberal who would blame someone for charging you to Borrow Money...for nothing.

Interesting. How about the House Minority Leader who's got her hubby's fishing business rolling in the clover? No concessions there, right?

Sure, the workers didn't benefit - now they don't have to uproot their lives and go to Mexico. And what did you expect, a million per year per worker and 1k for the company? Of course the company always makes more than the worker. But like I said, they get to keep their jobs, their homes & location, their salaries and everything else.

And the company benefits. And now you're saying the state benefits too. Wow, wins for everyone!

Once again gabby. Your pure, liberal jealousy is SHOWING. Take note. None of us have ever INSULTED YOU by calling you pretty. That would be considered a Liberal Racist, Dishonest remark.

As Coulter and Palin point out the incentives are out of line with capitalism and more like crony capitalism. However IMO the working with the parent company's other gov't contracts is less problematic.

But Trump's in diffuclt postion. dang if he does dang if he doesn't. But i suspect the ...as with most other principles of the right lately... the idea of REAL capitalism without gov't pressures and kick-backs will be kicked to the curb by those that deem it "practical" for gov't to control/cajole/paidoff businesses to SAVE AMERICAN JOBS.

Anyone who wants to promote principles is just being IDEALISTIC and out of touch with reality, 'we can NEVER do it that way'. 'Are you a businessman?!'
But Frankly I suspect if Palin, Coulter or most other R or D had jobs at Carrier they wouldn't be complaining much.
(unless Obama did it instead of Trump)

this kind of thing was brought up re the Auto bailouts. A bad precedent is set. The auto kingpins can be as reckless as they want to be because they have a safety net: The taxpayer. Too big to fail. Semirelated: I am a firm believer in CEOs being paid in stock options.

Coulter and Palin need to be controversial to stay relevant
