Sarah Palin endorsement fails as Ted Cruz beats Donald Trump to win Alaska
Washington Times ^ | 03/02/2016

JUNEAU, Alaska (AP) — A high-profile endorsement from former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin couldn’t deliver this state for Donald Trump as Ted Cruz won the Alaska Republican presidential preference poll.

Cruz, a U.S. senator from Texas, edged the national GOP front-runner in Alaska for his third win of Super Tuesday. Trump was still the night’s big Republican winner with victories in seven states. U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida, who finished third in Alaska, won one state.

The other two candidates on Tuesday’s ballot in Alaska — John Kasich and Ben Carson — did not garner enough support to win any delegates.

The Alaska GOP reported high voter turnout that exceeded 2012 levels as thousands of Alaskans decided which of the remaining GOP presidential candidates would get their support. Party spokeswoman Suzanne Downing said in an email that volunteers manning polling sites were somewhat overwhelmed by the “unbelievable” turnout.

Some sites saw long lines, including the convention center that served as the lone polling location in Juneau, where dozens of people, including state legislators, lobbyists and Alaska’s first lady, waited their turn to vote. First lady Donna Walker declined to say who she supported.

State Sen. John Coghill, a Republican from North Pole, wasn’t shy in declaring his support for Cruz, seeing Cruz as closest to his own philosophy. He said Cruz and Rubio — but Cruz especially — seem to be more supportive of states’ rights. Coghill is among the state legislators who have been concerned about federal overreach. He said he would support whomever the Republican nominee winds up being.

LOL

Well, Palin abandoned the state in 2011 and endorsed the dem-supported liberal for Governor in 2014, so why should Alaska Republicans care about her endorsement?

RE:”Well, Palin abandoned the state in 2011 and endorsed the dem-supported liberal for Governor in 2014, so why should Alaska Republicans care about her endorsement?”

Much like Trump I nailed Palin here in as early as 2010 when she was the popular wave, the claimed here by many would next POTUS(who in reality never intended to run) . The Palin cultists hated me at that time for being right showing them as completely wrong.

I learned long ago to NOT follow the crowd off the cliff.

That one was an easy call.

Trump sets all my scam alarms off.

I plan on watching this closely.

Rarely is the present more fascinating than history. But we may see:

1. Hillary dumped in favor of Biden
2. An open convention
3. Bloomberg
4. A pathetic “conservative” “3rd-party” effort.

I don’t know who is available for the 3rd party effort.
Kasich-Webb?

You don't see the Cruz people that have class dancing around waving Palin's bloody scalp.

This lot - I don't mind jamming it in their faces.

Your thread may prove useful. :)

Thanks!

I fear what Trump voters are going to do when they see Trump makes his deals with Pelosi and Reid and sells America down the river. It's coming as sure as his morning crap every day. Palin and the others will slink back into their corners and we will be stuck another 4 years. Frankly, we don't have another 4 years. With the SCOTUS open, $19 trillion in debt, and the ME burning, America doesn't have 4 more years. Cruz is the "Reagan" candidate we have been looking for and we are too stupid to recognize it. They don't come up every day.

Could not have said it any better.

My heart is truly saddened by the many freepers I once thought were true conservatives fall so easily for the most liberal candidate in the Republican primary.

Trump makes the Bush family look like Reagan. Anyone who cannot see that, has lost their mind.

I see you are a Christian waiting for a ride home.

Tell me, what denomination allows you to be a Christian and you don't have to repent for your sins to God? Trump says he's doesn't feel the need to repent for anything, yet Christians in many states vote for him. Even the story Fallwell reported about a guy changing his tire on Trump's limo and Trump giving him money was a lie according to Snopes.com. How stupid have we become?

...."And so the Pharisees spoke!"....

So you are saying you believe you don't have to repent to be saved? What denomination are you?

Must be the same one that has the parable, .......two Corinthians go into a bar.
