Sarah Palin talks about Trump’s Iowa loss and whether they’ve discussed running together

Loss? Seriously? That’s like calling a game after the first out.

[disndat]

Well at least she didn’t talk about them running away together. And that means whatever you want it to mean.

Absent Palin endorsement Trump would have lost to Rubio as well as Cruz.

[2ndDivisionVet]

There is that.

[annieokie]

I think he just had to have seen more of his conservative side out,???""""

I can't decipher that. Think maybe she has already been around Trump to long.

[Disestablishmentarian]

Sarah is fabulous. McCain was a fool not to feature her. Trump should do it now.

It really is silly talk to talk of "Iowa Loss" when there is a virtual three way tie in delegates coming out of Iowa. Ok, Ted Cruz did good last night but his 5,000 vote plurality was equaled by the crowd that showed up for Trump tonight in New Hampshire.

If the situation was reversed, the same would apply to the Trump supporters. Winning a caucus by 27-24 percent does not make the other guy a "loser". Then you have Rubio right behind them at 23 percent.

None of these candidates should be feeling cocky right now.

This reminds me of the 2012 caucus when Santorum, Romney and Ron Paul finished a close 1-2-3. And it was even closer than this one was.

And cruz only won because of beck's endorsement.

[patriotspride]

7 delegates to 8 for Cruz is not a big margin. The media won’t point that out

[jwalsh07]

Cruz won because Iowa voters did not buy New York values. That’s the story that everybody missed.

Yahoo asks Speculative Questions and gets a companionable answer.

"I've not asked for a thing. He's not promised a thing, except to make America great again," Palin said referencing Trump's slogan. "So there's been absolutely no discussion about any kind of future whatever, all that speculative stuff. No."

Yet Again, Drive-By-Media lives up to their name.

Trump had big crowds in Iowa. Big crowds and big endorsements are not votes.

As Bush 41 used to say it’s all about the Big Mo.

[Finalapproach29er]

Cruz,Santorum,Huckabee,Pat Robertson....

See a pattern?

[gov_bean_ counter]

One of those is not like the others.

[VRWC For Truth]

Cruz has the blow ....

[SamAdams76]

Actually they did turn out to be a lot of votes. In 2012, Santorum won the state with less than 30,000 votes. Trump had 45,000 votes this go-around and Cruz picked up nearly 52,000. So definitely a huge improvement on turnout - due to the big crowds and enthusiasm.

Whut she say?
