You’re all wrong - he’s going to get the Iowa Gov. endorsement. Game changer as it will push him from the pack (Cruz) in Iowa polls (more than he’s already doing).
I think you are probably correct. Gov. Branstad has also been knocking Cruz lately. Makes sense he would get on the Trump Train now.
No Establishment politician such as Branstad is going to touch Trump with a ten-foot-poll. Huckabee is all in until the caucus. His endorsement does nothing for Trump. Him staying in the race till the caucus to split a few percentage points of the evangelical vote from Cruz is his gift to Trump. Even 1% of the vote to Huckabee could be the difference in a tight race.
There really is nobody else but Palin that makes sense as a major announcement that would move Iowa numbers for Trump. Nobody.
If you’ve been following the tea leaves closely in Palin world, it’s obvious she’s in big for Trump. Her daughter and sister supports Trump. Palin and Trump had a meeting in the Capitol during the Iran rally in September. She supported his muslim ban and has written many supportive comments on Facebook including right after he announced in June.
