This makes me think it is Palin who's going to endorse Trump today and that Team Cruz knows it. Otherwise Rick Tyler would have answered this question differently, in spokesman-ese. You know how it goes: "Oh, listen, I'm not going to speculate about who's endorsing who. Ted Cruz admires Governor Palin, she and Ted Cruz have been allies since he joined the Senate, but endorsements aren't going to win this race. Iowans are going to decide based on who has the better record standing up to the Washington cartel and that's obviously Senator Cruz." He doesn't say that. What he's doing here is a sort of "prebuttal" -- surely, surely, an icon of populist conservatism like Sarah Palin isn't about to throw in with the biggest RINO in the race, a guy who was busy praising Barack Obama in the media on the very day that the tea party was born. If her endorsement's still in play for Cruz, why would Tyler antagonize her by saying backing Trump would be a blow to her credibility instead of saying something flattering instead? He must know something.
Leon Wolf's own "prebuttal" is less diplomatic than Tyler's:

Yikes.
He's as passionate as many Cruz supporters.
I thought his mock up of outraged people hating on Trump was really pretty funny.
At least there will be a record of all this. Amazing really.
Well worth repeating....
Trump is such a loser -- an even bigger loser than Mitt Romney, and that's saying something.
I disagree, I think the abuse goes both ways and it is fairly even.
But hey, no biggie, I still would prefer Cruz.
I think you deceive yourself.
You don't have FACTS to support your own arguments.
Yeah, Trump even donated to ted Cruz!!!!!!!
LOL

I voted for Romney as the lesser of two evils.
Trump is a bridge too far for me.
Satisfied that you are sadly deceiving yourself and that I creamed you in this particular debate/discussion, yes. Thanks (and no thanks ...)
I gave you a link to hard evidence.
You chose not to read it and deny the “hard evidence”.
Well said! Many people refuse to see that though. It's like they can't see the forest for the trees.
The country IS at a crossroads, and we've been good little pub-bots for decades. (Remember! Hold yer nose and vote!) We've seen how it works out when we do it their way. Maybe it's time to try it ours.
FALSE.
You gave a link to another discussion on FR.
I asked you and expect you to:
a) Post the exact quote, the actual words, out of Cruz's mouth that qualify as a lie.
b) Supply a link to a credible source IN CONTEXT -- the entire written news article, perhaps, and/or a video where you can see the entire interview and hear the guy speak the words.
As long as you FAIL to meet those very simple requirements ), then you have failed to link hard evidence.
Be accountable for what you say as well as what you vote for.
No. There are no conservatives who support Trump. You are not a conservative.
Mussolini was an Alpha Male, how did that work for Italy?
I personally don’t want an “Alpha Male”, I want a Constitutional Conservative with a foundation of Judaeo Christian values. Trump meets neither of those criteria.
If its Trump or Hillary, I’ll vote Trump. But don’t be surprised that if he wins he’ll start making deals with the existing Washington power base. That’s what he does, he makes deals. And I fear that the deals he will make are not the ones we are hoping for.
....”if Bristol Palin had said such things about Donald Trump”.....
It would have made zero difference to me.
Sure.
Bridge. Brooklyn. For Sale.
Yeah, I think you’re a hypocritical four flusher and you’re lying through your teeth.
That clear enough for ya?
Keep the number of your local crisis center on speed dial, your fellow Trump-hating goons are losing their minds over Sarah Palin endorsing Donald Trump.
You DID get the news didn’t you?
And your opinion matters because?
