Can 'The Undefeated' Take Manhattan for Sarah Palin?

What do New Agenda feminists and Team Sarah members have in common? Tickets to the screenings.
*
With the exceptions of a few left wing journalists, Stephen Bannon's new full-length documentary about Sarah Palin has so far been pre-screened primarily to audiences which are predisposed to give her a break, i.e., conservatives. But Wednesday, New York City, which is not exactly known as Palin country, will present “The Undefeated” with its toughest test yet.

There will be three screenings of the film in midtown Manhattan tomorrow at 1-3 p.m., 3:30-5:30 p.m. and 8-10 p.m, All at Magno Studio at 729 7th Avenue on the second floor. Bannon calls “new agenda women” one of the demographics he has targeted for changing minds about Gov. Palin. If the movie can persuade feminists to take a second look at our Sarah, then convincing political independents to reconsider the first woman to be the Republican Party's vice presidential candidate should be very doable.

Feminist website The New Agenda reports that it has tickets to the screenings which it is making available exclusively to people on the TNA mailing list. Feminists of a more conservative persuasion are likely to meet their more liberal counterparts at the screenings, as Team Sarah has reserved a larger screening room for the 8:00 p.m. showing of “The Undefeated.” According to Team Sarah, members can still get tickets by emailing teamsarahhq@gmail.com. the organization is encouraging its members who already have confirmed seating for the 8:00 p.m. screening, toe consider adding another ticket and to “bring along a Palin fence-sitter.” Limited seating is also available for the 1:00 p.m. and 3:30 p.m. screenings, according to the Team Sarah e-mail.

The official website for “The Undefeated” is here. You can follow “The Undefeated” on Facebook here and Twitter here. You can cast your vote to have “The Undefeated” shown in your hometown here.

Sarah Palin: Amazing Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island!

Ronald Reagan spoke of "our shared values and the common thread of the American dream..."

Gov. Palin checks in at SarahPAC with a midday One Nation Tour update:
Amazing Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island!

What a wonderful day to visit the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island!

Seeing all the young students on field trips - and generations of families visiting as one - I was reminded of a Ronald Reagan speech from Liberty State Park in September 1980. He spoke of the Americans who passed through Ellis Island and whose first glimpse of their adopted country was the grand statue in New York’s harbor. He talked about our shared values and the common thread of the American dream across an endless mix of backgrounds.

And I was struck by the many visitors from overseas who were drawn to this place, not merely for its aesthetic beauty but also as a symbol for freedom and liberty.

Ellis Island and Liberty Island truly endure as lasting beacons of hope and the opportunity to live an American dream. Lady Liberty is the symbol of unity and friendship we have with other freedom-loving nations. It's also a "warning" of sorts, as France encouraged us to keep democracy alive as the recipient of this gift... basically telling us not to blow it. Thank you for this reminder, France!

Now on to visit colleagues at the FOX studios.

NBC NY: Palin to Visit Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island on Bus Tour

"No particular agenda"
*
During the One Nation bus tour stop in New York City, according to a report by NBC New York, Gov. Palin will visit the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island and, as revealed earlier in the afternoon on Twitter, have dinner with Donald Trump:
Palin will meet with Trump at his personal residence tonight before they head out for a meal, a Trump aide told NBC New York. The two Republicans are friends and the meeting has "no particular agenda," according to Michael Cohen, special counsel to Trump.

Sources tell NBC New York that Palin's highly secretive Northeast tour -- thought by some to be a leadup to a presidential campaign announcement -- will head to the Statue of Liberty by private boat early Wednesday morning, and then to Ellis Island.

[...]

So far she has visited the National Mall in Washington, Mount Vernon, Va., Fort McHenry in Maryland, Gettysburg in Pennsylvania and the Liberty Bell in Philadelphia.

Though the Palin-Trump meetup is being downplayed by both sides, it has sparked considerable interest, as this tweet by Jake Tapper of ABC News illustrates:
Palin and Trump dining tonight in NYC! Oh to be a fly in the soup! (Doing the backstroke, natch.)
Update - Shushannah Walshe via Lockerz: "Just a family pizza dinner."
