Palin Jumps the Shark @SarahPalinUSA @tedcruz

Considering that Palin’s former PAC manager is Trump’s current Campaign Director, the ties between the two of them are much deeper than a single endorsement. Thematically nearly everything Trump has done on the trail has come from what SP did before.
I would agree with Pamela: she sees that Trump could actually win, and if he does he’ll have few in his inner circle with a plan. Imagine Palin not as VP, but as White House Chief of Staff? Of course the chattering classes would piss on it but from her perspective she’s in a position to actually carry out a full remodel of the Federal govt bureaucracy.
All I can say is that RNC was cruel to her after the ’08 loss by not supporting her during trumped up ethics complains filed by Obama partisans in Alaska. The law there prevented her from raising money for a defense fund and made her choose between the governor’s job and bankruptcy. But RNC could have helped, instead of pushing her out the door. It’s been payback every since, and you know what they say about that.

Pamela You usually make sense but this time you are eating our own. You obviously don’t own a business. Trump made that donation because he thought it was for a good cause and if you are a billionaire you have to endorse both sides. Quit putting down Sarah Palin, you sound like the left! How do you know the pressures she was put under and how she was belittled. Do you have a child with Down’s Syndrome? Sarah will help us win and that is the goal. Trump will appoint people who are right for the job and if they don’t perform they will be replaced.

Pamella. I think you caught Beckitis.

You and Palin and Trump have a lot more in common than you are willing to admit. All of you are needed in the fight against Radical Islam, each in their own way.

CNN just covered the part where Trump criticized Cruz.

You can always count on Pamela Geller to tell the truth no matter what

The Dems are going to win if we keep snipping like this. Ugh.

Sarah Palin resigned to get the countless frivolous complaints against her out of the governor’s office, and the money they cost the state, away from the burden of taxpayers.

Sarah Palin served 32 out of 48 months the same percentage that Obama served of his Senate term (not including the two-year break he spent campaigning) and accomplished everything she set out to do in that time.

After Sarah Palin accepted John McCain’s offer to run for vice president and became the left’s (media) most attacked and vilified person she returned to Alaska to find a never-ending assault of frivolous ethics complaints paralyzing her ability to govern the state.

She saw that if she stayed on as Governor it would continue to cost the state millions of dollars in wasted time and resources to defend against false and maliciously ethics complaints and doom it to gridlock.

Those frivolous lawsuits had already cost the state of AK close to $2 million; Sarah Palin had over $500,000 dollars in legal fees. (Palin was responsible for her own legal fees ).

No sooner would one lawsuit go away then another was filed.
She resigned so the state could move forward.

She promised to keep the frivolous anti-Palin law suits away from the Alaskan people and to be more effective on the stump ( supporting candidates , fundraising, etc) Sarah Palin was truthful on both accounts!

She was the catalyst for the takeover of the House , twice as many Governships and lopsided Gop Statehouses with her endorsements and rallies all over the country during the 2010 election.

Sarah Palin also had a very strong hand in the party’s few successes during the 2012 and 2014 election.

Oh stop it Pamela – give up you personal dispute and the side politics,
Trump is our ONLY HOPE. He brought the Islamification topic to the table and no one else has or will.

I agree with Pamela. Sarah seems to be making this move for herself more than for the Tea Party. And that Voice….

There are very good reasons why she did it, at least in her mind. Something that cannot be discounted. I realize why those who advocate conservatism are disappointed but SP has been raked over the coals by the Democrat left, the MSM, the GOP establishment and everyone else in between. I’m a Ted Cruz supporter and this was a blow. But I suspect something is going on and until we get settled on the final Republican candidate, this is where we’re headed. Let’s just take a step back and breathe slowly so we can continue forward. And wait.

The fact that an Israel-before-America zionist shill like you hates Trump makes me want to vote for him even more. Trump 2016!

Cruz cannot win the general election because most Americans are not comfortable with his extreme views on social issues. Trump will carry the fundies and will also get the vote of the Blue Dog dems. Go Trump!

You really have to be kidding me with this.
Pam, as a person who needs all the help and support that you can get these days, you did yourself a disservice by writing this. You just turned off a lot of people including yours truly. She quit? She resigned. You know that. I know that. People do it every day. For less serious reasons than Palin had.
You of all people should know what lawfare is like when it is directed at you. Lawfare is exactly what she was up against as a Governor. The GOP threw her to the wolves with no help or support. She resigned in order to take that power away from those people who were out to get not just her but her whole family.
She may have resigned but it is clear from yesterday and the past 7 1/2 years she did not quit. She just chose a road less traveled. A different strategy.
That strategy included helping a man who you now support into the Senate. And now, after just barely 3 years of cooking in the Senate, you all have him as a savior who walks on water.
The man who once said that “we are not a nation who tortures Muslims. Period.” That was around the same time Palin was saying “Waterboarding would be a baptism” if SHE was in charge.
The man who handed out ham sammys and soccer balls to illegal law breakers with the clown Glenn Beck at the border.
If it had not been for Palin’s endorsement of Cruz in the Texas primary, you’d all be saying “Ted Who”? instead of Ted Cruz today.
Good luck with alienating yourself Pam.

I love Sarah but I agree: “The Trump endorsement reeks of opportunism”

That being said her son was arrested for punching his girlfriend this past Monday. I know is not Palin’s fault(she didn’t do it) . But this is politics. The MSM and the left (same thing) will use that as part of the war on women they just can’t get enough of it.

You know how they usually smear people: Trump’s is being endorsed by the mother of a woman-abuser… Ohhh Trump is for men punching women blah blah blah.

So, I don’t know what this endorsement will mean going forward.

Pam sounds bitter and jealous, but serious, using ESTABLISHMENT and Liberal personal attacks and lies? Yuck poor you Pam. Didn’t expect that kinds of desperation out of you.

I do believe you just lost many supporters. I hope taking your marching orders from Rick Tyler go you some apparent needed attention. Ciao!

Here’s my take on Trump and Cruz, for what it’s worth.

I find Trump to be a rude, crude, obnoxious blowhard, who has never been a conservative in his life. Now he claims to be a conservative on many issues? I doubt it. The only way to judge a political candidate is by his past stand on the issues. Rhetoric during a campaign is useless, for there is no lie candidates will not tell in order to get elected. That is a universal rule of politics. I agree with Trump on the border fence and on banning muslim immigration, although I would ban it permanently and I wouldn’t claim we need to find out what is going on because we already know what is going on. Islam is going on. Since islam is the biggest threat to the US and Trump claims he will ban muslim immigration I will give him the benefit of the doubt on that issue and the border wall issue.

Cruz, on the other hand, has a political history of being a rock solid conservative. The GOP establishment hate him because of this. He is the leader of the opposition to the GOPe. He has talked the talk and walked the walk. However, he seems to be a bit weaker than Trump on islam. Where Trump supports a temporary ban on muslim immigration, Cruz only supports a 3 year ban from countries where ISIS or Al-Qaeda are in control. And he claims we are not at war with a faith. He insists we are at war with a political ideology and theocracy that seeks to murder us. But you cannot divorce political islam from the religious aspect. Islam is islam. It is all or nothing. And his insistence on focusing on ISIS and Al-Qaeda totally ignores the Muslim Brotherhood, which is more dangerous than ISIS or Al-Qaeda. The MB has infiltrated every political and cultural institution in America and are using stealth jihad to take over America. Cruz doesn’t seem to get this, as he insists on targeting only islamic terrorists. HIs opposition to Dr. Carson’s ‘religious test’ for a president further demonstrates Cruz’ inability to understand that the islamic religion mandates that muslims usurp the US government and bring the US into the Dar-al-islam. In his zeal to defend the Constitution he supports those whose main goal is to eliminate the first amendment’s Establishment clause and instill a caliphate in America.

Trump does seem to get the big picture of islam a little better than Cruz does. Then again, Cruz defended Garland while Trump criticized it.

My disappointment is with you, Ms. Geller, in this statement. Not Palin. You defended her resignation rather vocally at the time and in the following years. Were you not being truthful then or are you not being truthful now?

Check your premise.

It was my understanding that the leftists piled up so many lawsuits against Palin if she remained governor, that she could not afford to remain in office. I would not call her a ‘quitter.’ She stood up to the oil barons in Alaska and won.

More than anything, I do not like listening to people that I support and admire go after and belittle and judge other people that I support and admire. I am for you, Pamela, despite your not being a perfect human being any more than Sarah Palin is.

I would appreciate it if you would not tear others to shreds, especially when it is obvious that you did not research Sarah’s decision, nor did you call her to find out about any of this. She may have just been too busy to get back to you on the Ground Zero Mosque, for she is no coward. Nor would she seem to be the sort to support a candidate just because he might be going to win, so she could get in on the gravy train. She has been despised in the major media and pummeled far more than you have, even for giving birth to her down syndrome son, and yet she has not folded, nor seemed like the sort who only wants to be on the winning side.

Be careful before you judge people, Pamela. Yes, you are a fighter. But so is Sarah as far as I am concerned, and I don’t like to hear you try to take her down.

Pamela – I have been following you for years…….and I have been closely following Sarah Palin for years. You are dead WRONG about her Pamela – on so many accounts I don’t know where to start. I’ve seen the response that Mr L wrote you and concur with him 100%. Sarah Palin is the most honest, ethical, consistent leader/politician in this country….and she has worked tirelessly to help get other good people elected. Sen Cruz would NOT be a senator, if not for her.

I say that, having met and talked with Sen Cruz on several occasions when he was running – I donated to him, worked for him, voted for him. Yet – he has done a number of things in a sneaky way that has me disillusioned – he helped get the Trade bill passed before he voted no at the end, when it made no difference. He is for a huge expansion of the H1-B visa program, and has taken lots of money this year from the big money boys in New York. There are other things, but what I am getting across is NONE of them are as we want.

I will tell you what those of US who have closely followed and talked with Sarah Palin are sure she did do – she would have talked in some detail with Trump regarding his positions and pronouncements – because, if he starts switching on those most important to Sarah and US, she will not hesitate to speak up – just as she did with the incumbent governor in Alaska that she eventually went on to beat.

I expected better of you than this Pamela. What you wrote is so wrong and filled with errors – that, in my humble opinion, you owe Gov Palin – and many of us an apology.

Bob Blumentritt

Another consideration is that Schlafly is also endorsing Trump and she is as conservative as they come. The campaign loans that Cruz didn’t report that came from Goldman Sachs didn’t help his cause…people still hate the banks from the mortgage fiasco days. He also has a natural born citizen problem like Obama and people just do not trust politicians anymore after having been betrayed time after time.

Palin went for the guy with the New York values.

I mean,
talk about a gut punch from a woman we on the right fell in love with.
However, as much as it hurts those of us who stood behind her, in the
long run I see this endorsement hurting Palin more than it helps Donald.

Think about it. Since she was chosen by McCain as his running mate,
Sarah has crisscrossed this nation campaigning and endorsing every right
wing conservative who decided to take on the establishment. Say what you want, but her nominees have won more times than they lost.

However, now that one of her greatest endorsements, Ted Cruz, is on the
verge of making our dream come true by dethroning the establishment,
Sarah Palin, the darling of the right, decides to endorse Donald Trump.
It really is quite puzzling when you consider the fact that almost every
Tea Party conservative candidate she endorsed in the last 7 years has
thrown their support behind Ted Cruz.

I think that Sarah has
fallen for the same thing that many good Americans fall for when they
spend too much time in the beltway or become famous. While Sarah and
her children have been hobnobbing with actors, producers, screen
writers, politicians and political pundits.

Sarah it seems has
became enamored with the same world that sinks every politician who
spends too much time in the spotlight. She lost her moral compass and
found that the people with New York values are more attractive to her
than the old down home Americanism she used to spout.

Well, good bye Sarah. It was good to know you, but now we hardly do anymore.
