I think not. People that support Sarah Palin do so because they can readily see how she lives her values; one need only need to see the photo of her with Trig to know that. Trump? Get real....bad bad comb-back/over/sideways/back-to-front (whatever it is and how he does it). He's a showboat and a moneymaker schemer that would be well-suited to be a Barnum and Bailey Barker. The only way he'll get any real semblance of vote support if he gives away a Trump Atlantic City weekend with a hooker. You really can't be serious.
You are only describing part of Palin’s voter base. A lot of people don’t pay as close attention to this stuff as Freepers do.
In any event, I never said that Trump would get a LOT of votes, only that the votes he gets may not come out of Romney’s hide, which the previous poster had suggested.
Trump has money and name recognition. Voters have short memories. Even a 5% draw may make a difference in a crowded field.
But of course I don’t think he has a chance of winning the nomination. He CAN help shape the race by spending $$$ attacking candidate X so that candidate Y needn’t get his hands dirty.
