I like Sarah Palin, and think she has a solid foundation in Conservatism, but I think she's making a compromise of principle for victory. But isn't that what many of Trump supporters are doing?

Trump is appealing in several ways; he says what he believes, he doesn't owe favors to shadowy moneymen and political insiders, and he is passionate about his love for America. He's an attractive candidate, and he could win. But he is not a Conservative.

Perhaps Palin is hoping that having Trump in the White House would be at least an avenue for Conservatives to get back some of the government from it's leftward shift in the last few years, and she might be right.

And while I definitely prefer Cruz over all the other candidates, any of three or four Republican candidates would be better than the disaster of four more years of Democrats.

I think her and others have a different objective than you. They are not aiming to elect the most conservative but are looking for the best chance to destroy the republican elite. This is more of an Andy Jackson populist move than a conservative play.

You are absolutely correct. This country has been dragged so far to the left that we can't make it all the way back in one election cycle. Trump at least gets us back to the point that a real truecon *coughTedCruzcough* gan take over and finish the job.
