I liked and supported Palin big time in 2008. I also supported and liked her endorsements, until she helped give us more Sen. McCain. I have been drifting away since that point.
A Trump endorsement makes no idea logical sense. His background has not been conservative, even by New York standards.che does not share ideological values consistent with the others she has endorsed (McCain is an otlier in that respect, too, but he’s not consistent with Trump either. I can only conclude that her motivation for endorsing candidates has changed.
The only thing I see that could explain this the Trumps strong “throw them all out” rhetoric. But, if he succeeds, what will we be replacing them with?
Might just be Trump thinking he needed a lift in the Iowa Primary and was willing to take the risk by announcing Sarah’s endorsement at this time...and nothing more to it then that. He sure didn’t look like he was all that excited while he stood there listening to her and the crowd didn’t go completely bonkers for Sarah as maybe he thought they would.....as some here mentioned...not everyone who likes Trump could say the same of Palin so this might work for a few voters there in Iowa...but it could go against him nationwide.
