CNN was quick yesterday to try to herd the moderates and Democrats away from developing any interest in Trump, using Trumps compliment of Palin to tie him to her as irretrievably inseparable, one and the same.
I was a little surprised Trump took the risk myself if she is so controversial, since he obviously already has plenty of Palin-styled conservative support, and when a perceived link to her might be a turn off that hurts his chances with other voters outside the Palin base.
the lesson is that in reality, every little thing doesn’t matter to him
the trivial can be ignored
I certainly understand your concern. Trump is just being honest with the voters. He likes Sarah Palin, I do not think that is going to cost him much support. But it does show that he is a straight shooter, calling it as he sees it, which is his primary asset at this point. Playing nice to SP might cause some to question his judgment, it surely will enhance his integrity.
“since he obviously already has plenty of Palin-styled conservative support”
Actually I’ve read twice now that Trump is doing better with the moderate side of our party than the conservative side. He still has a bit of distance to cover there...and Palin will help a lot.
Also I don’t see a risk with Palin, unless he chooses her for VP.
