Guess even Alaska is tired of her antics.

Delegate wise it was a split, not really a victory rally, Cruz got 12, Trump 11 delegates, i fail to see it as a decisive loss or win for either.

Cruz won 12 delegates, Trump won 11 and Rubio won five.

Not much of a win for Cruz!!!!

You OBVIOUSLY missed the Delegate count in Alaska.

Cruz got 12
Trump got 11

Game over man game over!

Congrats to Ted for getting one more delegate in Alaska then Trump. Does being a puppet of big oil help in some states? For example, maybe, Texas, Alaska & Oklahoma. Cruz needed to sweep the South. He failed big time.

Alaska Dems switched over for the night to vote against Trump as per CNN. This may work in the primary but not the general. So actually Palin’s endorsement was working.

Unless you had some kind of unrealistic expectation that Trump would take all the delegates, it’s just as expected. Big nothingburger.

And Palin’s endorsement carries weight across the country, not just in her home state.

I just wonder why Cruz is worshipped as a “true conservative” yet Palin is routinely bashed on FR even though there’s hardly an iota of different between their positions on any conservative issue.

If you just plain think Ted is smarter or something that’s fine but why not just leave Sarah Palin alone?

Typical Trumpnutter spin. Cruz won the caucus period.

It’s like eveything else with you Kool-Aid drinkers in your deluded little world...Up is down, left is right and oh the pretty colors there.

Just the logistics of holding caucuses in Alaska
has to be mind-boggling.

I'm not sure endorsements matter this cycle. In our primary here in South Carolina every major Republican politician came out for Rubio and did not seem to make noticeable difference.

That is one way of looking at it. Another way of looking at it is this, Cruz won in spite of not having Sarah Palin’s endorsement. He very likely would have won by more if she endorsed him instead of Trump.

Congrads to Cruz! The voter quoted here clearly and smartly realized Trump is a big government liberal RINO.

LOL! If it had been Trump 12, Cruz 11, we’d have already seen the all caps posts telling us Cruz was a “loser” and other associated nonsense.

I’ve talked to more than a few conservatives from Alaska who weren’t really impressed with her.

I think the article is more about Palin that Trump/Cruz.

Trump’s shilling for taxpayer funding of ethanol didn’t help him in Iowa.
