The former governor of Alaska spent about an hour mingling with the crowd, signing autographs and posing for photographs. Palin said she's an unequivocal supporter of Trump, who leads polls ahead of Tuesday’s Republican presidential primary.

"I like him because he's an outsider. He’s not part of the problem," she said.

Parke said Palin was very engaging.

"It was just like talking to a neighbor. She asked my great-grandchildren their names and ages and a little about them," she said.

Trump/Palin in 2016

vs Hillary/Cruz

[stockpirate]

The Romney people are the ones who trashed Palin during her run as VP. they knew if McCain won Romney would have to wait 16 years to get to the WH

Palin isn’t helping Trump, she needs to go away.

Trump/Palin in 2016 vs Hillary/Cruz

Yep!

[Blue Jays]

Completely agree with you.
I voted for Sarah Palin in 2008 and had to take that sad sack John McCain as part of the package deal.
She was the more upbeat, positive, and energetic speaker. Too bad he dragged down the ticket.

Ping to Sarah's Amazing List!

Love those Strawberries! They are so Big!

The GOPe didn’t like Palin. She went after the corruption in her own state when the GOPe controlled it.

“vs Hillary/Cruz”

ROTFLMAO!!!!

THAT explains the traffic! We tried to get down there this weekend, but once we hit the traffic gauntlet, we turned around and went to the Renaissance Festival in Tampa instead. Never seen traffic like that in Plant City before.

I think she’s helping him. She’ll appeal to many who think government is ripe for reorganizing and are feeling disenchanted with the political process. I don’t think McClain would have gone as far without Palin. Palin was seen as a threat right from the start much like Trump as he gathered steam.

In both cases the media tried desperately to destroy them.

I like to see her working Ohio.

[RummyChick]

Maybe Hillary/Bush

At least Ted tries to appeal to the base. Jeb didn’t care about the base.

[Hojczyk]

Will she be at the rally today in Tampa

Should have gone but the traffic getting there is crazy

Cannot wait till the snowbirds are gone

I disagree. No undecided voter would not vote for Trump simply because Sarah endorses and stumps for him. There are, however, undecideds who may very well vote for Trump because she endorses him.

I think Sarah is a more beneficial to a candidacy than Beck (Cruz) or Romney (Kasich).

[Hojczyk]

All she has to say is Rubio betrayed the Tea Party

Rubio is toast in Florida might better move to NY

[apocalypto]

I agree.

I live about 30 minutes from the festival, and Mrs. C's neurologist's office is across the street from one of the entrances. Plant City is not a city, and practically all of the entrances to the festival are two-lane semi-rural roads, so it would not take much to back up traffic from Valrico to Lakeland if every Palinista (and I mean that nicely) between Tampa and Orlando was trying to get to the festival yesterday. Since I was working after church yesterday, it wasn't an issue for me...

Was this is a published/known event? I just knew that Sunday was the last day, and I wanted to get to it before it was over and get my palette of strawberries to make my jam.
