Ex-Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin launched her political action fund, Sarah PAC, in 2009 with the stated purpose "to help elect principled conservative leaders" across the country. But the latest Federal Election Commission filing indicates that money raised in small contributions by Sarah PAC is going to consultants, speech-writing services, direct-mail appeals, as well as stays by Palin in fancy hotels.

Sarah PAC raised $950,000 in 2015, spent a total of $1.4 million, and donated just 23,500 to 45 campaigns. It also...

Do as she says, not as she does.. or something like that.

Stone meet glass house

There was never any chance she would endorse Cruz. This proves it.

[Popman]

Trump has stopped because FINALLY the voters will know the story and see how Cruz has zero integrity.

Or the alternative version is that Trump little cry baby whiny temper fit was not going over well with voters...

Probably a little of both...

[demshateGod]

On the other hand, Trump does embrace endorsements from anyone. Remember Putin?

[demshateGod]

4,600 for a hotel for a SNL appearance?

[napscoordinator]

Maybe. I did see him tonight and he wouldn’t speak poorly about Cruz so maybe things are changing.....we’ll see. The journalists were trying to goad him into speaking poorly on Cruz......typical JourNOlist

Wrong again ... Cruz got caught , but let’s move on ... let’s talk about Cruz’s flip flops on TPP and immigration ...Cruz is a big fan of more H1-B visas which are destroying a multitude of good white collar jobs .. he is bought and paid for by the globalist open-borders crowd .. Cruz will be a big hit in the must win rust-belt states - Big sarc/

Although the PI was a liberal rag, I truly miss it. It exists now only on the internet, and without diehards like Connelly would not exist at all. I hardly ever have agreed with Connelly but he is right on the button here.

Somebody needs a nap!

Now we know why she endorsed Trump... Keep that gravy train running. No, Not directly from Trump... but being “relevant” meant cash.

[dangus]

>> Oh boy. Don’t serve Saint Teddy Cruz and you get destroyed. How wonderful. Typical of Cruz showing zero integrity. <<

Right... the Seattle Post-Intelligencer takes its editorial decision from Cruz.

[1035rep]

No, but you made a very good point. You said I should buy lottery tickets until I figured out just what lobbing is. I’m agreeing with you.

Whatever.

[freedomjusticeruleoflaw]

Freepers hating on Sarah P. because.... She picked Trump? Of course she uses SarahPac money to politic. She travels to support her message and candidates. Freepers are really staring to piss me off.

[freedomjusticeruleoflaw]

Your thought process is treading water. In your mind she would have been a hero had she chosen Cruz, so it makes no sense to assume she chose Trump to stay “relevant.”

[freedomjusticeruleoflaw]

You are ridiculous.

[anymouse]

Who does she think she is - a Clinton? :)

[jonrick46]

"her new crony-capitalist sugar daddy, Donald Trump."

Do you have proof that The Donald is paying Sarah Palin? Give me your source.
