There is certainly a disconnect.

Sarah Palin and Ted Cruz are both Trump fans.

It certainly seems like Trump & Cruz have partnered up.

With something "BIG" planned together.

So, with Palin & Cruz squarely in Trump's corner, why all the push back?

Your bullet points are valid ones.

May mean nothing, but on her OANN Point of View programs last week, SP was playing up her identification with the word "libertarian".

I think that a lot of it has to do with the fact that the conservative base has been burned too many times, and the abysmal events surrounding the presidency of GWB, plus the John McInsane campaign plus the Mitt-Witt debacle of 2012 was the icing on the RINO cake. For those reasons, there is natural (and truth be told, justified) concern over Trump because as a businessman, he HAS taken liberal positions in the past, has donated to both Democrats and Republicans, and has not always fit the definition of a hard core conservative. I take Trump at his word, however I also apply the Reagan maxim of "trust but verify" and so far, our 'verifiers' are the likes of Sarah Palin, Ted Cruz, and based on his recent actions, Senator Jeff Sessions of Alabama, whose views on immigration have been embraced by Trump and there appears to be mutual agreement and respect between the two of them.
