Sarah Palin, the former Alaska governor and 2008 vice-presidential nominee who became a Tea Party sensation and a favorite of grass-roots conservatives, will endorse Donald J. Trump in Iowa on Tuesday, officials with his campaign confirmed. The endorsement provides Mr. Trump with a potentially significant boost just 13 days before the state's caucuses.

Sarah Palin Endorses Donald Trump, Rallying Conservatives

Sarah Palin, the former Alaska governor and 2008 vice-presidential nominee who became a Tea Party sensation and a favorite of grass-roots conservatives, will endorse Donald J. Trump in Iowa on Tuesday, officials with his campaign confirmed. The endorsement provides Mr. Trump with a potentially significant boost just 13 days before the state's caucuses.

"I'm proud to endorse Donald J. Trump for president," Ms. Palin said in a statement provided by his campaign.

Her support is the highest-profile backing for a Republican contender so far.

"I am greatly honored to receive Sarah's endorsement," Mr. Trump said in a statement trumpeting Mrs. Palin's decision. "She is a friend, and a high-quality person whom I have great respect for. I am proud to have her support." end snip

Well, this is disappointing. Sarah has done so much for Tea Party campaigns, I hate to see her endorse someone who is not a Tea Party stalwart.

Sadly, there aren't many Tea Party stalwarts running for public office in general, and none currently running for president (unless there are some unaffiliateds whom no one knows about). I guess she figured she needed to endorse somebody.

Oh I doubt that. The butt-hurt is strong in these complainers.

Maybe, just maybe, God is raising Donald up to restore this nation.

It’s been a generation since we’ve had a great leader. Time for another one.

“Does anyone see this as an indirect stab at McCain? Remember Trumps jab at McCain? Sarah is now in Trumps camp, can she be both Pro-McCain and Pro-Trump going forward. That is what I am interested in.”

Good point - makes this even more enjoyable ;)

Just like a Trump supporter: derision, scorn, ridicule, chortling.

Look in the mirror and take a close look, please.

It’s sad to have supported Palin. Her brood is essentially white trash. Hate to say it but if she lived in my town that’s what people would believe and it would be true.

Stupid? Yes she really is. Rambling, incoherent speeches that were, are and will continue to embarrass.

Why did I support and continue to defend her? Because I believed she was a fighter to advance the conservative cause.

She’s a joke.

Rather, it could be Ms Palin’s call for both Trump and Cruz to end their arguing, make peace, and look to become a President/VP team.

Don’t inflate their numbers all the way to 50%, they’ll never make it that high.

Either that or a bronze dance pole.

As opposed to the golden promises from Goldman Sachs that get Heidi wet?

See, two can play the gutter game, get out of it.

I agree Cruz and Trump are the only two choices....and the thing is Cruz is the more vulnerable to Dem attack in the general election...

Trump has prove to have armor skin and Trump is eager to attack..this will be a brutal war /election... Trump is the better choice to fight that kind of war....he a no prisoners taking kind of guy........

if the object it to break up the Dem/Gop joint DC power structure....

...Cruz is conventional weapons ..Trump is the Nuk... Rand Paul is a pillow fight... and the rest are collaborators

Palin can’t babysit Cruz his entire career. She helped HOM and now he is stabbing her in the back by crying about this.

Actually Cruz is being magnanimous about her choice:

I love @SarahPalinUSA Without her support, I wouldn't be in the Senate. Regardless of what she does in 2016, I will always be a big fan.

I support Cruz too, but will vote for Trump .

I had one freeper tell me that if Trump wins they do not know if they will come out to vote against Clinton

That is nuts and is it any wonder why our side looses when we have dolls being thrown out of their carriages.

Oh no my guy did not win so I will not vote and let Clinton in.

AARRGGHHH

If ever there was a day for war on FR this is it

If we had the traffic we once did it would be servers down and casualties through the roof

Wow is all I can say

It was bound to happen

I’ll take Trump or Cruz but some here just live to vent and lash out

I’m really disappointed by Sarah. I guess she was just another politician, after all, Cruz is the only bona fide conservative left. I guess the sluteification of her family affected her.

This will be the end of the Palin ping list.

Perhaps it can be rebuilt with the trolls that harped on her before, now that she has abandoned the conservative American ship.
