Ted Cruz camp: 'Blow to Sarah Palin' if she endorses Donald Trump
Washington Times ^ | 01/19/2016 | David Sherfinski

Posted on 01/19/2016 5:27:37 AM PST by GIdget2004

A spokesman for Sen. Ted Cruz's presidential campaign said Tuesday it would be a "blow" to former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin if she endorsed businessman Donald Trump for president.

"I think it [would] be a blow to Sarah Palin, because Sarah Palin has been a champion for the conservative cause, and if she was going to endorse Donald Trump, sadly, she would be endorsing someone who's held progressive views all their life on the sanctity of life, on marriage, on partial-birth abortion," Cruz campaign spokesman Rick Tyler said on CNN's "New Day."

Maybe Palin is trying to get a new reality show. Who knows.

I'll be pretty surprised if she does endorse Trump. Of course, I was surprised that Shlafley endorsed him, too

Maybe they don't believe Cruz is eligible to run?

Agree that this is not the Texas Senate race...Palin has the right to endorse anyone for POTUS. She has said very favorable things about both Cruz and Trump. We’ll soon find out if the rumors are true. If so, it may help Trump in IA...

“Palin didn’t win”

What on earth are you talking about?

McCain was the one running for president.

Palin got Cruz elected, got Nikki Haley elected, got the current governor of Iowa elected, etc

Conservative America is deeply disappointed by
Sen. Goldman Sachs Cruz going after Gov. Palin.

Doesn’t he have an ObamaTRADE bill
to help pass, instead?

I don't know if the rumor is true, but if it is I can understand her support. Trump was always very supportive and kind to Palin. Ever after certain Republicans joined the pile on, Trump never wavered.

And I doubt you will hear one negative word against Cruz come out of her mouth.

And McCain, when he was running against a real conservative.

She endorsed conservatives in primaries where they had no chance. To be true to her beliefs she should support Cruz or not endorse anyone.

Let me explain something. When Palin was dispatched to pull McCain’s arse out of the fire and after she landed in Ohio and became his special pleader for the duration I did not see her give her speech, I listened on the radio. I had no idea what she looked like until late that evening. It didn’t matter, I was already convinced that she was a genuine person and rock solid on the issues. She has never let me down. Likewise, during the debate with Biden I listened to it on the radio and thought that she destroyed him. In my humble opinion her looks allow shallow people like yourself to discount her as a public figure. Shame that.

Which candidate in this race gave $250,000 to the Clinton pay for play Foundation?

Money talks. Trump’s money says a lot about his core values.

There’s probably coin to be made for Palin Inc.?

Ted really is proving to be a “nasty” guy...on cue, they didn’t get the endorsement so now savaging Sarah, of course through surrogates. If Sarah endorsed Ted she’d be the greatest person ever according to the Cruz supporters...

PDS has been in remission for years, but by the end of today it will be back stronger than ever.

I think what most people do not see in Trump supporters is the abject disgust with the government and all things democrat/socialist

We have attempted over the years to vote ourselves out of trouble and haven't done a damned thing

We gave the nation, via elections, a Republican majority and it didn't do one bit of good

It is no longer a cliche to envision what happens when you back someone in a corner

Coming out swinging is not the scene for a hellywood movie ... it's ugly and damned determined


Every old fart that gardens understands that they don't want anyone to ever see them in the garden ... our bodies don't work right

The same is true now, in American politics

We don't look right, but we know what we want and we're gonn'a try to accomplish it no matter WHAT we look like.

Cruz supporters are becoming some of the nastiest people in politics. They are worse then Dems they are so bitter and angry.

Pray America wakes

Palin has had private conversations with Trump. I’m sure she has vetted him thoroughly. Sorry, but she like a lot of us, is convinced that Trump is the answer at the moment. I trust her judgment more than the next 25 so-called conservative political pundits combined.

Just because she supported Cruz for senator does not mean she would support his higher ambitions !

Maybe she took high school civics class, too. :-)
