Breaking out of Arizona, John McCain is claiming that Governor Palin has already indicated support for his re-election effort in Arizona for US Senate.
McCain says @SarahPalinUSA has already endorsed his #AZSEN re-election, may make campaign-trail appearances. https://t.co/Lx22ilB4WY

According to the article:
McCain, the 2008 presidential nominee, said Friday that he does not consider his former running mate Sarah Palin’s decision to endorse celebrity billionaire Donald Trump in the Republican presidential race as a personal snub.
"Of course not, and nor does she," McCain said. "We remain very good friends. I respect her decision that she’s made. It has nothing to do with our personal relationship."
[…]
McCain also revealed that Palin, a tea-party favorite, is supporting his Senate re-election.
Possible Palin campaign appearances in Arizona are something they will be discussing in coming weeks, he said.
While the article quotes McCain directly who remains good friends with Governor Palin, we should of course note that there has been no official word from SarahPAC.
Here come the excuses......
Palin is always going to be loyal to McCain.
That is a point in her favor. McCain hasn’t ever said bad things about her, either.
The bigger problem is that big mess of pottage she’s eating.
If she does this, I am finished with her. Personally, I think McCain is lying about this.
McCain gives faint praise to Palin on the one hand and McCain’s women trash Sarah and her family loudly and constantly.
I must have missed that.
i’m pretty sure that has something to do with the devil, right?
I will never vote for McCain in the primary.
[I’m pretty sure that has something to do with the devil, right?}
It’s all about power. PALIN is an opportunist.
McCain touting an endorsement from Sarah Palin is rather schadenfreude-inducing, to me at least. I’d prefer she refrained, though.
Excuses for what? McCain might be engaged in wishful thinking, and it’s possible that his claim will be countered by Sara. Might have been better for him to keep his mouth shut.
It's certainly not good form for McCain to not let Palin do the talking about whom Palin is endorsing.
Sara Palin is a complex figure. She was put into the limelight by being chosen as the McCain VP before she was ready. It was hard, I'd imagine, but she stayed true to herself. She's a loyal person; that is obvious when people put her in a position where it's necessary to defend her children and grandchildren. What's my point? I think it's unfair to judge Palin's relationship with McCain. He gave her great opportunity for a shortcut to the national stage. At great cost.
I know, maybe Mclame confused Fey with Palin, he is mentally unbalanced(okay flat out batshit crazy) you know.
It’s AZ: she just bows to the inevitable.
Give me a break. You’re the biggest Trump hater on this board. I’m sure if we went back to your 2,000 postings last week, we’d find several claiming you were done wit her last week as well.
If she does this, I am finished with her.She was fool enough to endorse his re-election bid in 2010, never mind how he never once batted an eye after his staffers threw her under the proverbial bus and trash talked her after the 2008 presidential campaign. I was finished with Ms. Palin right then and there.
I think they both metaphorically speaking, have a knife to the other’s throat. It’s a strange pact of loyalty or the promise to do no (direct) harm to the other. “I won’t publicly cut you up, so long as you don’t publicly cut me up, got it?”
This is how it often works behind the scenes, behind the platitudes and facades. Who knows, McCain might say, If you endorse me for this, I will endorse you for a Cabinet position, should we get Trump or Cruz in the White House. Quid pro quo, doncha know.
Whatever you think about Sarah Palin, one thing she will always be, is loyal to McCain.
I don’t like it either, but she will be. She appreciates that he, out of all America, chose her to be his running mate in 2008.
She does.
I have never liked McCain that much, but he selected her, and she appreciates him for that.
She always will.
That is just one of those things. She won’t change.
I still support her strongly, and always will.
:D
He and his democrat pals should just now be getting out of prison. (the Keating Five scandal for you younger folks)
I still curse the Republican party for making me vote for him in 2008.
Lol..I’d prefer she b!tch slapped him hard and endorsed his primary opponent.
