Sarah Palin, the former Alaska governor and 2008 vice-presidential nominee who became a Tea Party sensation and a favorite of grass-roots conservatives, will endorse Donald J. Trump in Iowa on Tuesday, officials with his campaign confirmed. The endorsement provides Mr. Trump with a potentially significant boost just 13 days before the state's caucuses.

I do support Cruz, but it amazes me how many of his supporters have no clue or can’t fathom the fact that a good many conservatives will be voting for Trump, and that was long before the Palin endorsement.

We have two very different candidates that can do amazing things for this country if elected. The tribal bickering is beyond ridiculous.

Links? Source?

I don't think I've ever read anything like this on Free Republic. There are forums and sites for this stuff. FR is not one. The Illuminati and the Rothschilds? Wow. Man. You need to put that crack pipe down before posting again.

500% increase in H1-B visas? Every city has thousands of laid off professionals, many middle-aged or older, as well as kids out of college, who are qualified and capable (moreso) to do the work that Indians are hired to do (and to hire them, the company signs a written oath that they have searched everywhere in the USA and cannot find and American to do the job.) H1-B is a scam besides: it is the GOOD jobs. The professional jobs. The computer techies, programmers, business specialists, corporate professionals and analysts, etc.

There's only one thing that could possibly explain that bizarre proposal by an American politician: doing the bidding of his masters---the banksters, crony capitalists, cheap labor express, open borders crowd. From NY Banks to Silicon Valley (and I thought Rubio had all the donor-class in Silicon Valley sewn up for himself)

Vote your principles as you like.

I ask only that you accept that my principles may be similar to yours, but my worldview is likely more cynical. I like Cruz, but I doubt that even if he were elected, he’d be able to do anything against the cesspool of corruption in DC. And that is assuming that he’s as honest as his supporters think; after all that came out recently, I have my doubts.

On the other hand, I think that Trump is able to do so. Whether he’s lying or not, he’s ABLE to do so. If he IS lying, then we were screwed no matter what. If he’s not lying, then once he smashes the establishment, the next President will have the chance to roll things back even more.

So it’s not a matter of which candidate matches my principles the best; otherwise I’d write in myself. It’s a matter of which candidate I think will advance my principles the most in the long term.

Now, whether Palin supports Trump for the same reason is up for debate. But that’s what voting my principles means for me. Can you accept that and not call me a cultist or moron, as many people who claim to support Cruz have been doing?

"Trump is an Illuminati in the Synagogue of Satan"?

That's the most severe case of TDS every known to man.

LOL! Thats funny. There is no desperation with Cruz. I dont get the big uproar with Palin. I liked her in 2008 but she has made several comments since that has made me wonder what she is really all about. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

“The only lines longer than those at Trump rallies should be all the supposed “Conservative Christians at church altars and confessionals for what they’re thinking, especially now. I’ve been apalled at the nastiness and poor attitudes of them. We have mutual enemies that will never get the pure hatred from them that we Trump supporters have.

Palin’s brand of Christianity isn’t found in God’s Word? Yours is. Your counterparts were called Pharisees.”

EXCELLENT post - and bears repeating! Thank you.

After just watching the rerun of the Sara Palin endorsement of Donald Trump for US President, I am thinking that this was a good move for Trump. SP has not lost her energy, enthusiasm, and honest love for America. She will be a great asset for the Trump campaign both with the Trump message and her talent for getting that message across to usually very large audiences. There will be more endorsements along the campaign route for Trump and each will be significant for the divergent interests of the electorate. Kudos to Palin and Trump.

Sarah Palin is not desperate for money. She is estimated to be worth $12 million. The junior senator from Texas is much more desperate to win Iowa, the only state where he is polling well. He is even behind in his own state of TEXAS where people know him best.

First of all, Trump supporters are VERY Loyal and yes, they WILL voted for him. Not a one of them will vote for Hillary or Bernie. You don't watch the Trump rallies, listen to supporters, nor understand WHY they are for him. You are blind to reality.

Putting some one ( Trump or Cruz up against Hillary ), now, is just people's opinions, many if not MOST of them have NEVER seen the Hillary V Lazio debates.

Cruz, no matter what you or others say, is NOT a "good" ( forget about "GREAT" ) debater in a political setting. Hillary is a rather unconventional debater and Ted doesn't do well, thinking on his feet. He memorizes his answers/possible replies and so loses to her, IF she even makes it that far and he won't.

Whether or not some usual GOPers won't vote for Trump, if he is the nominee, is one thing, but he will NEVER get a very large portion of Trump's supporters to vote for him in the general. You aren't reading reality well.

Now, let's talk about Ted of some GOEer V Bernie. LOL

Can Sarah straighten out Trump on ethanol subsidies?

At the moment I could go with either Cruz or Trump, but Trump has dinged himself significantly with his support of ethanol subsidies — and I say that as a person living in an area that mostly benefits from those subsidies.

Don’t get me wrong, both men have plenty of faults and / or liabilities, just fewer by far than any of the Dems...

Please remove me from the Sarah Palin Ping list.

Well Pro, I think I'll just neutralize your anti-American vote and ask KC to put me ON the Sarah Palin ping list.

Make America Great Again!
