A spokesman for Sen. Ted Cruz's presidential campaign said Tuesday it would be a "blow" to former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin if she endorsed businessman Donald Trump for president.
"I think it [would] be a blow to Sarah Palin, because Sarah Palin has been a champion for the conservative cause, and if she was going to endorse Donald Trump, sadly, she would be endorsing someone who's held progressive views all their life on the sanctity of life, on marriage, on partial-birth abortion," Cruz campaign spokesman Rick Tyler said on CNN's "New Day."

It's all speculation at this time, until we see who the endorsement would be. What I don't get, if it's true, would be Cruz's campaign saying negative things about Palin. At this juncture, she is the ONLY Republican woman who once in a leadership role didn't back down on conservative principles.
I would assume that if Palin does support Trump, it's because there's an insiders take about Cruz's problems that they know won't go away.
MSNBC now reporting Sarah could appear with trump in Ames later today (6pm EST)
Also reporting it will be John wayne’s daughter appearing with trump earlier today.
Cruzers losing their marbles as they watch Rafael Edward Cruz drop in the polls.
Sarah would be the kill shot before Iowa caucus - great strategy for Trump to kill the opponent as early as possible.
Good point about Carter.
Well thank goodness, cause we’re Friendsies :)
“If she wants to say sheâs a Christian and all the values that come with it, then back a guy is is 180 degrees from that, sheâs a hypocrite.”
I call BS on that. This election is not about electing a pastor or spiritual leader.
I think that may be it.
Btw: Considering her more of a mainstream Republican is totally contrary to her pronouncements of the past years. Totally.
Cruze has his strength.
You should probably learn how to spell Cruz....... just sayin'.
Cruz is right. Palin wouldn’t look good endorsing a moderate. Or a clown. Trump qualifies on both counts.
[Ted Cruz camp: ‘Blow to Sarah Palin’...]
A note to Cruz...tell your campaign staff to drop their shovels and walk away from that hole they digging for you.
Your advisers are just making you appear desperate and, what supporters you have now, cringe with the thought of that you have devolved into someone they don’t recognize anymore.
“Robespierre would be proud of you Trumpbots.”
Would that be the anti-capital punishment Robespierre or the pro-capital punishment Robespierre?
I figure if Trump was born in a different country, it would be a front and center issue for the Cruz only supporters.
That picture and caption up on Drudge does not help Cruz.
I love Sarah, she is in the class of Ronald Reagan when it comes to taking a stand and sticking to it forever. But I would prefer she not endorse Trump. Even though they are good friends I would prefer she stay neutral for now.
I’m not happy with Trump trashing everyone in his way. That is nothing like how Sarah handled things. I am taking a wait and see on some aspects of Trump. I would like her to influence Trump to come more up to her standards and character, before she endorses him.
And the Rubio supporters, and the Jeb supporters, and the Carley supporters, and the Paul supporters, and the Christie supporters, and the Carson supporters ...
They all stand in opposition to their opponents! Quelle surprise!
The higher one rises in the polls, the bigger the target one presents.
struggle with spelling all the time on every thin it is usually after I poste that I notice things like using are instead our mangling names is just second nature for me....
The Robespierre that rode a populist wave of “liberty” because all his supporters could think of was revenge.
France suffered 100 years of political upheaval for their foolishness.
Sarah who?
Cruz 2016
The spokesman didn't say anything nasty.
