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.

McCain was an evil man when Palin came to a posh hotel in Phoenix and said “ McCain is the real conservative.!! “ I was there....I was pissed! And McCain is still evil.

Oy.

Just found out and I see over 600 messages, I am sure they are all insulting each other’s supporters.

How could Cruz win the nom?
It doesn’t matter how glorious under heaven he is.
He can’t win the nom. He won’t win it.

How could he win the general if he won the nom in some freak occurrence?

He could not.

Hillary is pure evil and she is still getting huge amounts of supporters. Those people will NOT vote for the fully palinized Cruz.

I don’t even want to read this thread and see the back and forth.

I think everyone knew Palin’s choice would be a big deal politically, even if it isn’t. So surely both camps at least spoke to her, had a lunch. Think about it.

Cruz had a chance to put forth everything he’s got, to Sarah, in private. He didn’t make the case.

Trump is very much a part of the bullshit direction its going in.

He voted for Obama, he gave millions to the Clintons.

The MSM wants Trump DEAD, so I’m gonna believe the media? NR wants him dead. WSJ wants him dead, and even Fox wants him dead. I only read UK newspapers. They often tell the truth.

I ask the question.....

What will Trump do in his first 500 days?

I explained that. I don't think they are exactly the same. But they are trading on a similar political image.

Does that explain it for you.

Trump is certainly farther to the left than Clinton was during his presidency For example, Clinton signed a bill against gay marriage. Trump used his pageant to attack a Christian girl and turn the public on gay marriage.

Of the entire gang, only Cruz beats Hillary in the general.

Trump loses to Hillary by 6%.

You are naive.

Cruz is a huckster.

I didn't think so at first, but I have seen his character slowly exposed.

Oldest trick in the book. Pretend to be a Godly man to seduce those who really seek to be Godly men.

Cruz is a nasty man hiding behind God and conservatism.

Support him if you like...but don't be surprised when he is revealed for what he is.

I know what a Natural Born Citizen is and that it matters, and so should all ‘conservatives.’

Cruz is not one. He cannot meet the very first qualification to become President.

He could be the very greatest U.S. Senator who ever lived, but he can never be President.

So he never needed to use a birth certificate for anything his entire life?

I don’t find that credible when my sons had to show them to play little league baseball.

I haven’t trusted any politician since I worked for Reagan. I’ve been right 100% of the past 30 years on them too : )

My bad, I forgot Duncan Hunter.

I predict that this thread will produce some Zaps of former PDSers now gone full bore TDSers. I asked a few months back what would happen with the Cruzers if Sarah endorsed Trump, guess we will soon find out.

I am on the RECORD as not being a fan of Sarah Palin. I was nearly banned for being so aggravating on the subject of Palin.

I do however appreciate that this endorsement is a kick in your pants, and in the teeth of the Cruz campaign, in IOWA of all places.

NEXT?

A normal Christian does not attack Palin like you and others do.

Cruz would have gladly accepted Palin’s endorsement,
had she given it to him.

Wake up. The media has been the one pushing Trump nonstop. Why are his polls so high?

The media spins every article in favor of Trump. The only "criticize" him for what he wants to be - his lines from hsi speeches. The media has absolutely covered up every negative story on Trump. Fox News deliberately threw that first or second debate to trump. MSNBC has never given any Republican as much positive attention as Trump.

You are plain and simple being hornswaggled by the media.
