Days after Donald Trump talked up the idea of putting Sarah Palin in his administration, the former Republican vice presidential candidate and tea party favorite is showing she's got Trump's back.
Palin wrote Friday on the conservative Breitbart news site that Trump's candidacy will continue to appeal to "ordinary Americans" despite what she described as a bludgeon of attacks from GOP elites, pundits and the media.
Calling Trump's candidacy "a shot in the arm for ordinary Americans fed up with the predictable poll-tested blather of squishy milquetoast career politicians," Palin argued that Trump's style and message is appealing to voters and that he is tapping into "major populist grievances."

I can and do like both Cruz and Trump.

Ted Cruz/Sarah Palin 2016

The nucleus of a much needed new party?
This is the year for a 3rd party win. The Dems cannot find a solid candidate. Neither is Jeb, and that’s who the Pub elite are going to shove down our throats.
So... This time around a strong 3rd party candidate can win.
I wish Rush would get paul shanklin to make a parody song about ‘Big Don, big bad Don...
WOW! That describes at least 90% of the GOP!
Yep.
Yep, in before the PDS trolls.....
And funny! :)

“If Palin likes Trump, so can I.
I can and do like both Cruz and Trump.”
So do I. Decisions, decisions.
“In the United States today, we have more than our share of nattering nabobs of negativism. They have formed their own 4-H club — the hopeless, hysterical hypochondriacs of history.”
Sarah, Ted & Donald. It’s a trifecta!
I would like to know what that means? : )
