She has said she liked both of them.

I think it wasn't so much a snub to the one, as a push to the other.

I'm guessing she decided he was the more likely candidate to withstand the ongoing media crucifixtion the (R) nominee will have to endure.

Kudos to Mrs. Palin for recognizing the right man at the right moment.

I think you are right and that is my calculation as well.

I would think she, above anyone else, would know this....

I think you are right.

I am for Cruz all the way...but I recognize smart operating when I see it.

Trump is executing the art of the deal...and he got Palin to go along with him to try and address Ted’s rising numbers in Iowa, while at the same time blunting Ted’s strength with the base conservatives nationally.

Do not get me wrong...I am not jumping Ted’s ship. or throwing in the towel. I want him to win and will support him in the effort to do so.

I just see the strategy here and it is a good one from Trump’s perspective. And having Palin’s support will shore up Trump in a place he has needed it.

In the end...if Cruz does not win the nomination and Trump does, I will vote for Trump, with whatever issues, before a Hillary or Sanders in a heartbeat...and I will not stay home and throw the election to either of them either.

The country cannot afford that.

At least with Trump, should it go that way...particularly if he surrounds himself with these types of people, we will make progress...much needed progress...in a number of critical areas.

The border will get closed with a fence as it should..
The Refugees will stop.
Our foreign policy will get a LOT better.
Obama Care will get repealed.
The Tax problem will start to get addressed.
Things for the economy and business will get a lot better.
etc.

Despite this endorsement...I still think Cruz may pull Iowa out of the hat. Let’s wait and see.
