She has no chance. She's a joke

Consider this: he has experience as an executive, which is more than you can say about the current pResident, and some of the other people who make every appearance of running in the 2016 Presidential elections. I would absolutely love it if it came down to candidates measured by executive experience, instead of having people apply single-issue litmus tests to the views of the candidates. We need someone who knows how to run the Executive branch of government, who knows how to obey the laws of the land, who knows how to improve our image with the rest of the world.

Not holding my breath.

I would love for her to enter the race.

She would be willing to talk about anything and I seriously doubt she would let political consultants tell her how to answer questions.

But there’s tremendous pressure on her to stay on the sidelines.

We’ll see.

I think her presence in the debates would be a complete wild card for everyone involved.

I like Palin too. But I don’t think she can win, at this point.

If it’s a choice between Palin and Cruz, I’m voting for Cruz.

Even if she didn’t win, I believe she could kill a few RINO’s in the process :)

Palin has quietly built an army. Cruz would be one of her generals. NOT saying that means he can’t compete with her. Just saying that they are two peas in a pod, and that he knows she helped him win his senate race in Texas.

No. She'll only clear the field of other conservatives.

I think Palin could help Cruz win the nomination!

I think she could destroy Romney and Bush and clear the way for Cruz

Which is why I think Cruz is qualified. Moreso than Sarah. Plus Cruz hasn’t been slandered like her. Yet.

I’ve been a long time defender of her and backer of her before Juan McCain ever heard of her. I’m a big admirer of her. But she’s still too radioactive.

It’s called free enterprise.

As I fully expect the GOP and its elite, open-borders, pro-homo, pro-Obamacare, Wall Street crony donors to successfully push someone like Jeb, Romney, Christie into the nomination, I’d certainly like to see Palin (or even Cruz) run... as a third-party independent. That’s where my support would be, 100%.

I think Palin would utterly destroy any RINO present in the debates if she wanted.

Now... if she trained her guns on Cruz or Walker ... I’d just assume she not even run.

But I dont believe she would do that, I believe if she ran, she would be running to win and/or running to bag some RINO’s

There was a point not that long ago when Hillary was FAR more radioactive than Palin.

And now she is the presumptive nominee.

For me, there's only one choice: Ted Cruz. Sarah should run for Senate, where she'd join that exclusive club of 100.

It's been 8 years since her last campaign, she's been out of the game too long.
