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.
Whatever your rationale is your business.....I’m single minded this time - no diversions, no quarter from my objective. It is her, or it is nothing. I will not be McCained again, even if it means sitting out a non-Palin ticket vote come 2012. If that happens we are too far gone anyway.
