... Trump was an establishment candidate from the start.
Yes, they have given him probably hundreds of million dollars in free air time. Let him call in and tell lies especially FNC.
Reminds me of a movie:
“A Face in the Crowd” charts the rise of a raucous hayseed named Lonesome Rhodes from itinerant Ozark guitar picker to local media rabble-rouser to TV superstar and political king-maker. Marcia Jeffries is the innocent Sarah Lawrence girl who discovers the great man in a back-country jail and is the first to fall under his spell.

LOL. Guaranteed. Trump did not pay Palin. You don’t seem to understand integrity and friendship.

“Comments?”

Yes, it is the nyt. They dispise both Trump and Palin. I am surprised they did a hit piece on Hillary today.

If Palin endorsed Cruz, they still be trashing Palin and saying how much it will hurt Cruz. They hate Palin more than they hate Cruz

Hatred order of leftist/gopE

Palin > Cruz > Trump

There are three significant downsides to Palin.

First a lot of her supporters also like Cruz. She’s now at least disappointed them, if not angered them.

Second she’s tied herself to Trump. She has a reputation of picking and winning horses, like Cruz during his Senate race. If Trump loses that reputation is diminished.

Third, she was well positioned to step in as a unifying force to bridge the gap between the winning and losing camps. Which will be necessary if the winner if this fight is going to win in November. Now that she’s picked sides it’s much harder if not impossible for her to do that.

The problem isn’t that she endorsed Trump. It’s that she endorsed someone at all. She would have done more for the movement, and herself, by doing a series of speeches or a bus tour or something in Iowa promoting Conservatism and the need for all Consrvatives to support the eventual nominee, be it Trump or Cruz.
