First Sarah Palin endorsed Donald Trump at a time she had negative 11% favorables with the GOP.
Then she missed the first event of the day following her endorsement.
Then she blamed her son being involved in a domestic incident on Barack Obama's treatment of veterans, turning off a lot of veterans in the process by suggesting those who came back from overseas were no longer able to control themselves and were not culpable for their actions.
Then she went to a Trump rally the day of the election with tons of undecided voters and started attacking Congressman Steve King, one of the most popular politicians in Iowa.
It was really an amazing spectacle. Sarah Palin then turning on Ted Cruz pretty rapidly and attacking him as unlikable, etc. was almost as pathetic as Mike Huckabee and Rick Santorum showing up at Trump's rally.
Sarah Palin did a huge favor for both Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio. She should really be thanked for leading the carnival barker wing of the party to Donald Trump.
I agree.
Oh, please.
Take it up with CNN who initiated that little missive about Carson pausing his campaign... among Trumpettes, they're the new "gold standard" of cable news.
>> Famous for being famous....
Now be fair... she was a mayor of a small Alaskan town. And governor! Until she quit.
It’s interesting that so many can’t move on. Sarah had a shot at relevance but was sabotaged by the media. It totally discombobulated her and she sacrificed principle for revenge. It’s not fair but she doesn’t have “it” anymore to be a factor. Winning is a tough business and if she want’s to play hardball with Cruz she needs to be prepared for a fight. This ain’t beanbag.
Very near Russia I believe.

Spittin’ distance!
“Ted Cruz enjoy your tainted victory. It will be your last.”
Why was his victory tainted? Because Trump pretty much accused him of not being eligible for President? Was it tainted because the entire MSM jumped on the bandwagon? Was it tainted because Cruz isn’t well liked by the establishment so they are out to destroy him?
Message to non-Cruz voters. Put on your big boy pants and tell us why you should be President and not why Cruz shouldn’t. Plus, y’all started it so deal with it.
He will need them against hitlary. I have no problem beating them at their own game.
I simply do not believe Ted did anything against Carson.
I like you, Carson, but you were never a contender and not worthy of a dirty trick even if Ted played that way, which he doesn’t.
“tell us why you should be President and not why Cruz shouldn’t”
How about you tell us what in Ted Cruz’s background makes him qualified to be commander in chief. Winning debates and court cases doesn’t count.
Yup, that’s true. And by media, it includes the comedy media. Tina Fey adds to the disparaging and unfortunately does a good job. You never see any Obama comedy. So, by now she has been hemmed in by all medi. With her and daughter buying into the reality media, she created some of her own problems. She did well for a time and still has a message, but time moves on.
In States that have regular Voter Primaries it may be less effective. The proof will be in the pudding.
Meanwhile, look out for a new Bumper Sticker, Bolsheviks for Bernie! Hillary will be handing out Coins with Hillary's Profile on both sides.
Disclaimer: I am a Cruz guy with Trump as my second choice which mirrored the Iowa results. Coincidence? LOL
Has JEB! dropped out yet? Love Trump or hate him, he is singularly responsible for JEB!’s demise. If not for Trump, we would be seeing JEB! in the top three, no doubt.
Having run a county election office in '08, the fact that McCain's having the surprising good sense to pick Palin, was the only reason our area voters could stomach McCain!
To a person, those who showed up for signs and political "stuff" I had designed with Palin's name promently displayed or even alone, was what got our GOP voters to the polls!
I was saddened when Palin first endorsed McCain against his conservative challenger but tried to understand what she claimed was loyalty for picking her for the VP!
It has been tough since then, as she has picked some other questionable candidates (in my mind).
Watching Palin as she jumped on the Trump campaign, then stepping on to criticize Cruz (picking up Trump mantra) has very much disappointed my opinion of her but does add up to some of her other choices.
I don't want to make too much out of her attaching herself to Trump but do know she's still the main bread winner in her family!
Hopefully, Trump won't choose to suggest how "very close" he is to Palin!
>> Love Trump or hate him, he is singularly responsible for JEB!’s demise.
Yep! And not only Jeb. Kudos to The Donald for that public service! Much appreciated.
LOL! I twirled the end of my imaginary handlebar mustache when I read that line
Rubio’s candidacy, as it now stands, was created by Megyn Kelly and FOX News!!!!
Rubio is still a BIG NOTHING, and he will soon sink like a stone.
Megyn Kelly should return to her old hairstyle, and reflect on how she could have been great. Then she should climb back to some semblance of decency, whether she achieves greatness or not!
Because it wasn’t a “dirty trick”. CNN was reporting that he was dropping out. Repeating a new story is not a “trick”.
Mwee ha ha ha ha
Tacky Tacky!
Should your guy come under the full attack of the uniparty that Trump has endured I will enjoy every insult directed at him, I will smile at every lie told about him and I’ll laugh when he is reduced to a caricature of himself. And should he run for reelection here in Texas I’ll work against him. You and CW have done a wonderful job of promoting your candidate /s. Before you and the other vicious members of team Cruz started your constant attacks on Trump, Cruz was at strong second choice of mine. Now I will do all I can to see he is never elected to any office ever again.
