Sarah Palin, the former Alaska governor and 2008 vice-presidential nominee who became a Tea Party sensation and a favorite of grass-roots conservatives, will endorse Donald J. Trump in Iowa on Tuesday, officials with his campaign confirmed. The endorsement provides Mr. Trump with a potentially significant boost just 13 days before the state's caucuses.
Per your post......EXACTLY!
I was for Cruz for over a year......although a few red flags kept popping up....
but when he dissed Sessions over the trade bill, and obfuscated his responses.....Big Red Flag....
I was at the point of.....Where do I go now????
Enter Trump...with his big beautiful wall!
Trump doesn’t pander.
That’s why thousands attend every rally, venue permitting.
He says what he thinks.
TRUMP DOES NOT PANDER.
You didn’t hit any nerve. You shamed yourself. Youe cheesy innuendo was a very left tactic. You might as well be Hillary.
Too bad, it won’t work anyway.
You mean for both years of this, his first term in the Senate ?
And how many of his fellow Senators did he convince to vote for his bill to end or phase out ethanol mandates ? What was the number of that bill, too, I can't seem to find it.
totally agree. Some are like kids who keep posting anti Trump or Cruz threads when infact we have two decent candidates running.
I have seen kids act more mature than a handful of freepers lately and this bickering must be giving the establishment and the socialists a good laugh.
Trump was a Dem, he went to Clintons wedding. Well Reagan was a Dem and Trump plays his business card to get money and deals.
But Trump called Cruz nasty, oh get over it as I am sure after Cruz will after this. Grow a pair.
But Cruz took out a loan from Goldman Sachs, so frigging what, he needed the money and paid it back.
But Cruz is not American, well there is a massive interpretation for people more qualified than I on that, but as far as I am concerned then he is eligible to run.
Cruz is a lawyer who has worked for the govt all his life. His private stint in a law firm was dealing with govt related items. He is a hypocrite that shouts limited govt yet earned his bread from govt alone.
Thou art CLUELESS as to how the world works.
Thanks for your opinion.
” Full disclosure: I was a Cruz supporter before Trump got in. I voted in Texas to help Ted win his Senate race, then donated to his presidential campaign four times, until he cast his aye vote for TPA.
You could almost say that Ted set me up to switch to Trump - by casting his TPA vote, then his aye vote on the reviled Corker bill, his support for increasing H1-B visas, his refusal to say what he’d do about the millions of illegals in the country, etc.”
I think you will find that hundreds of FReepers abandoned Cruz for these very reasons.
Anti-American? Really?
You and I have had some pleasant conversations over the years, FRiend.
Calling me that because we disagree is flat wrong.
Shame on you.
“Amazing how most of the true conservatives are acting more and more like liberals, whereas most of the
liberal Trumpanzees are the ones who are for freedom of opinion. “
Your chief problem is that you have more than your share of common sense. Well, we’ll soon put an end to THAT!!
: )
I was never a fan of Cruz.
I was never a fan of Trump.
Trump has won me over at this point. He may be a slightly watered down version of Cruz, but his ability to captivate audiences and bring a non-politician background to the forefront is enticing to a lot of potential voters. I think he has the best chance to win, and to win against the democrat nominee.
Over the past few years, it's seemed to me that Palin is more concerned with being a celebrity in the limelight than with promoting conservative ideology. She has her reality shows, Trump had his, so they're a good match.
And I'm not saying this because I'm kneejerk anti-Trump, but because I don't really take Sarah Palin very seriously politically. If making a public spectacle of herself and her family is her goal, then it makes sense to latch onto the candidate who is the best self-promoter.
He’s not who he claims to be.
Sorry Pro. Guilty as charged. I reacted badly to the way you quit the Palin ping list. You’re still my bro.
Common sense and love for America will be punished!
Interesting process.
Welcome to the big tent of Trump supporters.
.
Sarah genuinely likes the spotlight.
I do not believe that Trump will have the opportunity to name anyone as a running mate, so we may never know the answer to your prognostication.
Judging by my email inbox people are flocking away from Palin in droves at this moment.

Very invidious and short-sighted of them, at best.
