Unfortunately, Palin has a reputation (deserved or not) of stringing people along. So Sarah, pick an early announcement date, and stick to it, such as "I will decide by March 1st."
Based on what?
Do we have to ditch him then, too?
Based on the fact that he is still nationally relevant. I like Sarah Palin, but she is not going to be president.
I know it wasn’t your intent so don’t get mad..........
Reagan was toxic to the GOP, not the country. Palin is the complete opposite. Had she not done the reality TV thing and written some books maybe she’d be in a better place.
She’s unelectable and I don’t say that because I don’t agree with her, but for my money Cruz is the best suited conservative, for his ideas and his presentation. Palin’s baggage is too heavy at this point.
He’s as close as Reagan as I think the modern party could ever get.
The online photo of her with the “FU” sign doesn’t add to her diminished luster.
Palin would not endorse Cruz that early in the primary season, especially if Scott Walker and Rick Perry are in the mix. Supposing that Palin isn't running herself, she'll let those others duke it out.
Judging by their responses when her name is mentioned, there is also a very large segment of this forum that she is also toxic to also.
But since then there have been a series of unfortunate events. Some were of Palin’s own doing, many more were MSM set-ups. No matter, the damage is done.
I love Sarah, and I see her as a fantastic conservative spokeswoman, and perhaps also as a future US Senator. But as a presidential candidate...nope, I Cruz is the better choice.
I concur. I like her very kuch as spokeswoman.....as someone that points out the hypocracy of the left and exposes their true intention. She should be doing that all day everyday.
But her time as candidate has past.......I too am not willing to place all the blame on her. She still has some McCain stank on her and she was unfairly ribbed by the press.
But facts are stubborn and although we may like her, the majority of the country doesn’t see her in the same favorable light.
Imagine the impact she could have in the senate.
She needs to re-build credibility before she can run for the highest office in the land.
I’ve got news for you. Ted Cruz isn’t going to get the nomination. He won’t even come close. Sorry. I like him but his place is in the Senate. The “eligibility issue” is going to haunt him at every step of his campaign. His GOP-e opponents and the national media will see to that.
Palin and Cruz are not extreme.
The house republicans who blocked a ban on late term abortions are extremists.’
Good points.
As long as we(the Conservative) talk personalities and speculate on election outcomes that are two long years in the future, we are playing the Liberals game.
When we talk of Sarah Palin, we need to focus on smaller, cleaner government, not crony capitalism, a lucid, thought out foreign policy backed by a credible military establishment, and the military backed up by an economic policy based on growth, real fairness, real jobs, lower taxes, tax reform and elimination and courageous social policies.
Sarah wins on all these.

RE: “...Never ever heard of a Democrat being too extreme,...”
EVERY Democrat is toxic to this Country at this point in time.
They’ve proven it.
Of course they will. Once the media makes a laughingstock out of him the same people will start calling you a Kool-Aide drinker and need to support the next candidate until you end up with Romney who the media will love.
The media is going to hate every one of these guys so why not give them a reason. It is easier to bash her than defend.
Amazing how insulting it seems to be for a conservative to actually earn money the old fashioned way.
Do you know if she was aware of what was on the poster? By the way FUBO is all over this forum, it adds nothing to the debate.
Palin in a Crus administration would be awesome!
The liberal hair pulling over Sarah tells us what to attack. She is my candidate..
