"A Sarah Palin endorsement of Donald Trump would do more damage to Palin's conservative credentials than it would to Ted Cruz."

She will own the New York values.

"I think it'd 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 spokesman Rick Tyler told CNN's "New Day," adding that the Manhattan businessman supported the TARP bailout.

Seems like a case of proactive whining, to me.

:D

IF, IF, IF Palin endorsed Trump, it would encourage me as a Trump supporter because I have questions about his seriousness on social issues. I have enough faith in Sarah’s character that she would have vetted Trump in this department and will be a thorn in his side if he was elected and went astray of conservatism on these issues.

If Palin jumps on the Trump bandwagon, then I shall write her off just like so many others who I used to support and admire.

I am beginning to believe that Trump is a shill for Hillary to destroy Cruz.

“A Sarah Palin endorsement of Donald Trump would do more damage to Palin’s conservative credentials than it would to Ted Cruz.”

Nope. It will give the people who really don’t like Cruz, but will vote for him because they are evangelicals and believe they should, to consider voting for Trump.

Palin is choosing Trump because he is the most conservative candidate in the race. Cruz is weak on immigration. He should get out.

Why doesn’t Cruz ignore Trump and get on with getting elected?

So are Cruz supporters going to smear Sarah now? Glenn Beck, Cruz’ good buddy, has already smeared Sarah.

Cruz spokesman Rick Tyler should be fired today.
What a politically inept statement to make.

Cruz would never demean or dismiss Palin, even the slightest.

If Palin endorses Trump today, Cruz will be beaten like a drum in Iowa
in two weeks.

And Trump will prove he was serious about winning Iowa.

[”Gov. Palin has been a staunch supporter of Sen. Cruz]

She always comes back on the scene just to tease everyone into thinking ‘will I or will I not’ and the media waits with bated breath on the answer.

I love her but enough is enough.

Palin’s attempt to stay relevant. She has to maintain the value of her brand, after all. Trump will serve the purpose...

If Cruz gets the nomination she’ll suck up to him in turn.

Why would it hurt a conservative...uh...whatever it is Palin does...to endorse someone who gave 84,000 to Mario Cuomo? I’m sure Palin will negotiate her new political network well enough. She has the street cred to jet set with Chuck Schumer, de Blasio, Bloomberg, and the Davos set one day, and then have a BBQ with John Nolte at Breitbart the next day. She’s smart, I’m sure she calculated this out carefully. And just like a lot of Freepers, she’ll have her version of a tagline in which she gives lip-service support to Cruz while bashing him from the left. She can be like Rush and gush at Trump’s revolutionary popularity and throw in some cold “Cruz is a consistent conservative” just to keep selling books. It will work with the battered wives conservatives who keep McConnell, McCain, Lamar Alexander, Mike Pence, and Branstad in their cushy jobs.

Meanwhile, If what she wants to happen does happen, the conservative movement (which is simply people who recognize reality) will receive its final blow. So why should that hurt her with conservatives. Who are they? If Trump wins, there will not be any significant conservative movement. She can just sell her books to Nationalist Pragmatists.
