Sarah Palin Expected to Continue Endorsing Sarah Palin Today

Donald Trump has been teasing a "major endorsement" that he is scheduled to release today in Iowa, and the rampant speculation is that it will be Sarah Palin's. I don't really know if this particular speculation is true, but I do know that if Palin doesn't endorse Trump today, she will endorse him eventually. At this point, only a particularly aggressive hair splitter would concede that she has not endorsed Trump already.

The last few months have not been pretty for conservatives who have long denied with angry vehemence the allegation that many of the leading figures in the conservative movement were only in it for the money and/or the attention. Liberals have long claimed that this was true about people like Ann Coulter, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, and a long list of others, especially including Sarah Palin.

Oh, how we have been deceived by the dulcet tones of arguments that sound internally consistent and which fit with our own preconceived notions of the world. "Nonsense," we loudly declared. "These people believe things, and we can tell you with certainty what they are! See, we have their books that we have purchased where it is all laid out!"

The going narrative in and around DC is that the Trump assault has been an eye-opening phenomenon to the GOP Establishment. Maybe, maybe not. I have my doubts about Mitch McConnell and gang's ability to learn anything, and they are moreover already cozying up to the Trump organization anticipating that he will win the nomination.

I’ve not always seen eye to eye with Rush on everything. I like the guy and think he plays an important roll. In this type of situation I make up my own mind. I’m not so sure Rush doesn’t fully agree with that.

Several weeks back Rush had a day where he praised Trump quite a bit.

It’s disconcerting to see someone go on about someone you don’t support. It won’t mean much in the long run.

I do wish he’d follow up with another good day for Trump.

Let those that want to follow the pragmatic approach do so. Let those that want to follow Ted's staunch conservative values do so.

Thank you. And thank you for the use of the word, pragmatic. I have seen a few lionize Trump for his pragmatism. Perhaps that is the right word, perhaps not. It's probably to much "in the weeds" to be of any consequence, but...

Pragmatism as a philosophy was developed and popularized at the end of the last century by philosopher William James, along with such other noted intellectuals as John Dewey and George Santayana. It was James who gave the new philosophy its name and shape. In 1907, he published a collection of lectures entitled Pragmatism: A New Name for Some Old Ways of Thinking, and thus defined a whole new approach to truth and life.

Pragmatism has roots in Darwinism and secular humanism. It is inherently relativistic, rejecting the notion of absolute right and wrong, good and evil, truth and error. Pragmatism ultimately defines truth as that which is useful, meaningful, helpful. Ideas that don't seem workable or relevant are rejected as false

If he wins the nomination I will never vote for him.

So, are you on record as saying that if the vast majority of primary voters choose Trump as our presidential candidate, you are going to stay home and potentially give the election to Hillary Clinton as your predecessors did back in 2012?

Just curious, is that decision a "in your face and screw you idiots who are ignorant enough to vote for Trump" retaliatory response to everyone who doesn't happen to agree with you?

Keep in mind it was the idiots such as you who gave us Obama but yet you "stay at homes" have the audacity to blame US who voted against him...........Go figure!
