After Palin Endorses Trump he Rises 6 Points, Cruz Falls 6 Points in Reuters Poll

Young Conservatives ^ | 1/22/2016 | John S. Roberts

If you haven't yet heard, former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin recently endorsed Donald J. Trump for president.

It was shocking to many, since Palin was seen as a Tea Party type of candidate throughout her career. Meaning, why didn't she endorse the staunchest conservative in the race, which is clearly Ted Cruz?

Check out how the Reuters poll has shifted since Palin gave Trump the thumbs up.

Cruz down 6, Trump up 6.

That's a huge swing in just a few days time.

The biggest question however, is how in the world is former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush still in the top five in any poll nationwide?

How many people do you know say they're supporting Bush over Trump or Cruz?

Exactly.

If Palin were a REAL sellout, she could have gone to the Dark Side and bad-mouthed conservatism on CNN or some other big-bucks drive-by media slot. Heck, she could have gone to work for Soros. He would have given her all the money she could ever ask for, and hardly any work involved.

[grey_whiskers]

that’s pretty sad, because she is a self centered publicity hound, couldnt finish a term, went with Ted to a million Tea Party events, while trump’s money went to those republicans fighting off tea partiers, teased about running for president a million times.

she’s the al sharpton of the right, without the crimes.

When did Al Sharpton have Dem operatives fly to Alaska to take a rental next door to his house so they could spy on him and go through his garbage?

SNIFF. (Yeah, I know, Dec 2014. But still...)

He should hand out life-term Federal indictments with Bobo's and Hillary's names on them.

Thank you for telling the truth to these liberal trolls...not that they will believe it. They live the lies that support their mindset.

They are DemocRATS and to be one, you cannot think for yourself!

To this day and to the day I die, I will always remember and hold in contempt the MSM, the demonic-rats, the GOP-E's (Establishment & Elite), anyone & everyone else involved in the coordinated take down of Sarah Palin, which continues endlessly on through today, into and onto tomorrow and tomorrow's tomorrow, until Karma greets all of them.

Especially from supposed Constitution loving Freepers...

Go here and read the section on "Birth abroad to One US Citizen":

That is exactly Cruz's situation.

[Jane Long]

I’m sure if she had endorsed Cruz you’d still be calling her a quitter? /x

Your bias is disgusting. What they did to trash Sarah was probably the worst thing I’ve ever seen in politics and apparently you are buying into it. Pathetic.

************************

I agree! The smearing of Republican Vice Presidential Candidate, Sarah Palin was the most vile and low-down dirty action I’ve ever witnessed in politics, followed by the attempt to personally bankrupt her as the sitting Governor of Alaska!

To this day and to the day I die, I will always remember and hold in contempt the MSM, the demonic-rats, the GOP-E’s (Establishment & Elite), anyone & everyone else involved in the coordinated take down of Sarah Palin, which continues endlessly on through today, into and onto tomorrow and tomorrow’s tomorrow, until Karma greets all of them.

Amen, amen....to BOTH of your replies. It would behoove folks to take a look at past threads, during the times that Sarah was being attacked, daily!! for standing up for conservative principles, our dear military and this country, and hear what JimRob and the MAJORITY of FRepers had to say about these vile and vicious attacks.....rather than parrot what the ignorant have to say.

I remember when such derogatory comments about Sarah were taboo, around here.

It’s due to the decision to back ethanol subsidies. Free money changes behavior.

"That being said, if she does go to prison, it will be perceived by the Democrats that we put their front runner in prison over politics."

No. If she goes to prison, it will be Obama's FBI that did the job, the one they were sworn to do.

"I have discussed the Canadian birth issue here. Tired of re-posting every time it is brought up:

We are equally tired of you posting a pulled thread. So don't.

If Palin were a REAL sellout, she could have gone to the Dark Side and bad-mouthed conservatism on CNN or some other big-bucks drive-by media slot.

THIS.

Endorsing Trump isn't selling out it's fighting back.

Loved her endorsement speech. Never been a big Palin supporter before but she's winning me over.

Trump/Palin 2016!

[mlizzy]

Gotta be kidding me!

Take a look at some of the commentary at the site:

I understand what Beck is saying. Again folks, he said he dislikes ONLY ten people out of the thousand of family members. He is talking about the ones that are constantly trying to get people to feel sorry for them just like a homeless person. Just milking the situation. Guess what? People die all the time, remember it, but don't dwell on it. Don't make it your life story..

NivexQ 4 years ago in reply to ripwtc91101
@ripwtc911 Yeah i can see people taking this out of context, but I haven't even heard the whole broadcast and I can easily understand what he means. He's not saying he hates 9/11 victim's families, he's saying he hates the ones that are spoiling it for the rest; he's right.

“Alas, there is no grand principle on display here. There is nothing but opportunism and ego. For a long time now, Sarah Palin has been apt to say anything and everything to keep the cameras buzzing around her hive. This rotten endorsement completes the decline. What, we might ask, has become of Palin’s beloved Tea Party? What, too, of her purported admiration for limited government, and of her ostensible hatred of heretics and fakers? The prospect of a mass movement that was earnestly committed to libertarianism was always a little too good to be true, but even I didn’t imagine it ending like this. All that talk of the Constitution and the Declaration; all that energy expended against the cronies and the rent-seekers; all those purifying voter drives — and for what? So that Sarah Palin could add a few zeroes to her bank balance and Donald Trump could go from the purchaser to the bought? Today was the day that Rick Santelli’s famous yelp finally melted into populism and avarice. Today, at about ten minutes past six, P. T. Barnum beat out Hayek for the soul of the insurgent Right. Today, the rebels became the charlatans they had set out to depose. What comes next will be anybody’s guess.”

I posted it once after being pulled. I have not re-posted it again since I was politely informed. Your little tirard is over one post.

Is you tolerance level really that low?

[Arthur Wildfire! March]

‘Never been a big Palin supporter before ...’

Once you go ‘Palin’, it’s hard to go back.

FReegards ...

[Enlightened1]

Cruz made the colllosal mistake of attacking Trump too.

Cruz’s numbers were up until he went after Trump.

Whoever advised Cruz to attack Trump should be fired.

[dowcaet]

Sadly, she’s being called worse than that by people who just a few weeks ago were praising her. Politics makes enemies of friends and allies. I hope we all can keep our eyes on the big picture and that is to deny a Shrillary, Uncle Joe, or God forbid, a Comrade Sanders presidency.

Quick Notes on Eligibility

[I’m no lawyer, but even lawyers have trouble with this — it’s a specialty topic.]

Two Ways of Looking at This

One Way: Original intent. No matter what original intent you look at, Cruz is not eligible.

— Some say ‘must have mother and father — US citizens when overseas.

— Some say ‘must at least have US father when overseas’

— Some insist you must be born in the US.

---

Other Way: Women Equal.

Now for the ‘women equal’ argument.

As you know, women are treated as equally as possible in the courts these days. That’s what Cruz is banking on — why can’t a mother alone make him qualify?

— But that is not original intent. So while it wins in court, it fails to end the controversy.

These Quick Notes are now actively being challenged here:

But, but, we've been assured by Cruz or losers that her screechiness and her obviously betrayal of her conservative principles will hurt Trump and destroy her. She's only in it for the money. She never was a conservative. We were wrong about her all along. She's a Jezebel. An opportunist. A turncoat. A woman with no principles. She is dead to them. She's GOPe. She's in the pockets of the Bildebergers. She's stupid. She shoots innocent puppies for sport. (all of these have been said multiple times, and more in the last few days, except the puppies)

The insanity of the Cruz or lose crowd, the hyperbole, and the nastiness have finally turned my support.

I want no part of a movement on FR that is this batshit crazy.

Sorry. My Cruz support has officially left the station.
