Behold the once mighty "Mama Grizzly," who abandoned her cubs and values for the spotlight and a 30 silver fish.

Damn girl, show some dignity.

Which ones of Trump’s past statements are Tea Party values?

* Trump supported the bailouts. Bush and the eGOP CREATED those bailouts!

* Trump helped finance the Democratic takeover of Congress in 2006, which put in place the liberal majority that passed Obamacare over the objections of congressional Republicans. And he continued to support a Democratic Senate majority after Obamacare.So did all other political contributors. Besides, Trump didn't do fund so much as to create the entire takeover. Get real.!

* He has supported eminent domain when it benefits him. So has the eGOP

* Trump supports ethanol subsidies.So has the eGOP!

*Trump would tell Apple that it should manufacture its products in the US which means that iPhones would cost much more than they do now. Total BS! Apple made $200 billion cash profits. I think adding $10-$20 per phone won't destroy Apple. Your way of think means NO COMPANY SHOULD EVER MANUFACTURE IN THE USA. Go tit. You are anti-American and believe in supporting foreigners over Americans. What happens when everything is foreign made? Hmmm, who is left to buy those foreign made products??

With you being so anti-American and pro-Chinese, I'll be happy for you not to vote for Trump. I prefer that only Americans vote!

Anyone that thinks TEA was about Hayek is a retard. It is so obvious that Trump’s following is largely the same as Beck’s million people on the Washington Mall.

We both know we have tried the conservative way of voting for so called conservatives only to be sold out.

I for one have had enough of the politicians for both sides.

I think it is time to try a businessman who wants us to be an even greater nation than we are now.

Voting conservative. Been there done that. Insanity is trying the same thing over and over but expecting different results.

I think this endorsement is a non factor at best and could hurt Trump in the general election at worst.

First, polls routinely show Palin has a 60% + unfavorable rating nationally.

Second, 4 or 6 years ago this would have been big endorsement in the Republican primaries. But now, even many conservatives have grow tired of Palin and her family. She is seen now as half term governor, forced to resign, turned reality TV star with a dysfunctional family.

I, myself see her differently than I did when we all fell in love with her in 2008. I only see her now as a reality TV celeb looking for free publicity where she can find it.

Personally, I think Trump got her endorsement with a price, probably for a cabinet post. But I don’t think her endorsement will swing many votes his way.

What went wrong is that the GOPe became so odious that for some this has become personal and smacking them has become an end in of itself.

Elections are often more about voting against than voting for. They are voting against the GOPe and they see Trump as the best chance to give them the smackdown.

I agree...that is what is driving many.

I will vote Cruz March 1 in Texas...

Go Cruz. Cruz is a Conservative.

Cruz has kept his promises to the Citizens of Texas.

No it doesn’t, Tea Party people aren’t going anywhere just because Sarah sold out. She wasn’t my leader, she wasn’t a movement leader for conservatives...she was old news.

Go Ted!!!

RE: . Bush and the eGOP CREATED those bailouts!

And that excuses Trump supporting them?

RE: .So did all other political contributors. Besides, Trump didn’t do fund so much as to create the entire takeover. Get real.!

In other words, just because Trump does it, it’s OK, but not the others?

RE: So has the eGOP

So, it’s OK if Trump mimics the eGOP?

RE: . Total BS! Apple made $200 billion cash profits. I think adding $10-$20 per phone won’t destroy Apple. Your way of think means NO COMPANY SHOULD EVER MANUFACTURE IN THE USA.

NOPE, the question is how is Trump going to force Apple to manufacture in the USA?

What Presidential power is he going to wield? Executive action? Is he going o, via his own authority make it ILLEGAL for companies to go overseas? If so, how’s that different from any two bit dictator out there?

RE: I’ll be happy for you not to vote for Trump. I prefer that only Americans vote!

Ohh, now those who won’t vote for Trump are not Americans now huh?

I scanned your above response and it all boils down to this — The GOPe does it, therefore i’s OK for Trump to do it too. Damn conservatism.

Is this about the hundredth time someone has declared the end of the Tea Party? This is like how many times Trump will be gone by a certain date.

Why is Sarah Palin supporting Trump?

We are in a war with Marxist globalists and we are at war with Islam and we are losing both wars. The country needs a leader that is unabashedly an American that will defend America, rebuild the military, secure the border, defend Christianity, bring back manufacturing jobs and deport illegals. Prior to Trump getting in, NO ONE was talking about any of these things NOBODY.

If we do not fix immigration this election cycle the country is done, the constitution is dead are we the people are screwed. Take no chances vote Trump.

Conservatism doesn’t claim products need to be cheaper for one American by making it overseas by foreigners to the detriment of other Americans.

YOU support that! That is NOT a conservative value.

America First! America Wins! are conservative values.

Well stated.
And, a pretty good summary of chapter one in "How to legally become a dictator".

But I find it strange that a Tea Partier would overlook his past stances....

I find it strange the Tea Party sat pretty damn quiet while Boehner and McConnell were shafting the conservative base and willingly going along with Obama's plans.
