Mark Halperin tweets, “Does anybody know where @SarahPalinUSA plans to be on Tuesday?†GOP consultant Matt Mackowiak is also guessing Palin. The Freepers at Free Republic? Mostly guessing Palin, although some of the anti-Trumpers there expect Bernie Sanders to drop out and back Trump instead. Realistically, assuming it’s an endorsement worthy of being promoted on Trump’s Facebook page, who else could it be? The only big-name Republican I can think of who might conceivably endorse Trump is Jeff Sessions (he appeared briefly at a Trump rally in Alabama last year), but Cruz consulted with Sessions before rolling out his immigration plan last fall so maybe that keeps Sessions neutral.
Palin is a more predictable match in every way. She and Trump have been allies for years. No other pols have excited right-wing populists during the Obama era the way each of them has. When asked by CNN in November who the “standout†candidate in the race was, Palin mentioned Trump, not Cruz, which surprised me at the time. And Palin recently praised Marion Maréchal-Le Pen’s movement in France, signaling her openness to Trump-style nationalism. It would make sense if she went all-in for him.
It would make sense, I should say, if there were no “true conservative†candidate running for president. But there is. The irony of Palin endorsing Trump this year of all years, if it happens, is that the tea party finally has a candidate running who not only passes nearly every litmus test they can throw at him but who’s run a brilliant campaign and stands a shockingly good chance of winning. That’s Cruz, a guy whom Palin herself has praised repeatedly in the past. (Rubio fans would tell you that it’s Rubio too, apart from that pesky immigration litmus test and the, er, brilliant campaign part.)

I’m not going to laugh it off. I’ll be disappointed.
But...
Palin got Nikki Haley elected by both endorsing and campaigning for her after she was failing in the polls.
I expect this to go about the same way.
“shockingly good chance of winning” - only if Trump drops out, and that would be shocking indeed.
Glenn Beck might actually complete his trip over the edge.
Very, very good news. GO SARAH GO
This is so great, Palin is THE TEA PARTY!! We love her soo. This is huge beyond belief. She will be Huge in our party structure, We now own the party!!
You got that right g’friend!
Yep!!
The amalgam posts again. Failing to note that Hot Air actually predicts it will be Jerry Falwell.
Again you don’t list the author’s name. Too busy churning out the anti-Cruz vitriol?
Well, now Hot Gas is updating with Jerry Falwell Jr.
Just for the record, 2ndDiv....does the Captain outrank you?
How is this anti Cruz? Cruzers have gone off the rails.
Gonna be interesting......
Anti Palin, anti Trump, this could negate gravity!
Seething, frothing, sweating, steaming internet megalomanics who demand all others are wrong.....
I’m buying another connex container of popcorn.
Finally...the “Post of the Day”
