Former Alaska governor Sarah Palin joined the Today show to talk about her endorsement of Donald Trump as Iowans go to caucus tonight for the Republican presidential primary.
is was probably a tough call for you, between Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX)97% and Donald Trump, began Savannah Guthrie during the interview.
t wasn’t tough,†Palin interrupted.
Really, Guthrie replied.
No, it wasn’t tough, she repeated.
Palin explained that she was happy to endorse Ted Cruz in his Senate race, because he was a fighter for the American people but that she wanted him to stay in Washington D.C.
want to keep him in the Senate, and I want Donald Trump to be our president, she said.
Guthrie asked Palin if Trump was necessarily “the godly candidate†for evangelical voters.
I hope voters aren’t trying to find the most Christian-y godliest candidate out there because who are we to judge one another’s level of faith – our Christian quotient if you will, she said.
Host Matt Lauer suggested that perhaps Donald Trump wasn’t enough of a true conservative, citing his Democratic record.
Palin referred to Ronald Reagan, pointing out that she was “glad†that Donald Trump was a candidate that had “seen the light.â€
Later in the show, Palin was asked by co-host Willie Geist about what she brought to Donald Trump’s campaign by endorsing him.
I’m very, very conservative, very much a right-winger, proudly clinging to my God, my guns and my Constitution, she said. “I think I speak for a lot of Americans who have those same values.â€

Not a tough choice. Whoa that’s going to leave a mark. But after shamegate I am pretty happy with Trump.
That should be bottom of 2nd column and top of 3rd column.

For every tree is known by his own fruit. For of thorns men do not gather figs, nor of a bramble bush gather they grapes.
Tough love.
“Follow the money...”
Exactly
Let’s burn her at the stake. Eh.
A perfectly logical position and one I also agree with. She’s a smart lady.
well, yeah but you’re not going to be running the country :)
or maybe you are, who ARE you anyway :)
if people on this board only knew the political reach and power i have.
none
“Really, Guthrie replied.”
“Well not at all”, said Palin. “Once I saw Ted on the same stage with his new best friend, I immediately saw who was the alpha male and I was thoroughly disgusted”.
Humm, I guess she was referring to Glenn Beck; wonder what she knows about him. /s
Anger and bitterness over reason IMO...
Still wondering what kind of deal she made with Trump....
Cruz bases his election on facts not emotion. Trump knows how to work emotions and facts. Conservatives hasn't had a candidate that can work emotions since Reagen. Which means Trump could win with a land slide if he doesn't destroy his own candidacy.
Palin, God bless her, has been known to make an occasional error in judgement. Recall that episode with her private Yahoo mail account, where she ridiculously selected for her “personal questions” for retrieving a lost password, something like “What is the name of your spouse?”, and some other equally foolish thing that anybody could easily find out, if they hadn’t known already. Basically, all a hacker needed to do to gain access to her private account was pretend they were her, which anyone who knew her Yahoo e-mail address could do, request a password change, and answer those ridiculously simple personal questions.
Didn’t he sign some sort of abortion bill in CA as governor even before Roe v Wade? But ended up a great president when he matured in values. But there are many here who think no one can change.
I think Reagan saw the light when fought so hard in Hollywood against the Communists. At least that was probably the beginnings of it because that was really when liberals started showing their hand.
Love Cruz, but he has not found a way to connect to voters. He is also not good at this time at dealing with the press or traps laid out by the press and opponents.
Trump is part populist but clings also to a lot of conservative views and has a eagle’s eye set on our financial issues.
Trump more than Cruz is a leader. He says all the things many have wished could be said for years.
I would only vote for Cruz or Trump though. No Rubio ever...

“In the latest presidential campaign Reagan was cochairman for Goldwater-Miller Committee—and a fiery, persuasive speaker.
A nationally televised Reagan campaign speech brought in more than $150,000 in small donations—more than was raised by any other speaker or rally, says Walter Knott, chairman of the Goldwater-Miller National TV Committee.”
“Reagan, who didn’t register as a Republican until two years ago, is a self-styled former “bleeding-heart liberal”. But he voted for Dwight D. Eisenhower in 1952 and 1956—”didn’t everyone?”— and says he has been making speech’s on limitation of government since 1954.”
What is your religious affiliation and of what evil are you publicly accusing Sarah Palin ?
Oh wow I just said the same thing before I saw your post. Seems to have merit maybe
I hope she is given the Director of Dept of Health because of her pro-life stand.
