Yep, much as I love Palin, her time was 2012. In 2016, the person to pull off a win is Cruz. Cruz would be an outstanding President. Have Palin in the cabinet - Secretary of the Interior or somesuch.
I think Palin would much prefer to endorse Cruz than run for President.
Palin’s comment that she might run keeps her relevant and a potential king-maker.
Palin in a Crus administration would be awesome!
