The tRump supporter who matters more to Iowa conservatives than Palin

https://www.yahoo.com/politics/the-trump-supporter-who-matters-more-to-iowa-215629893.html

Given Scheffler’s credentials of both expertise and relative objectivity, his take on Sarah Palin’s endorsement of Donald Trump on Tuesday was an interesting one....

But as endorsements go, Scheffler said, Palin’s – while moderately helpful to Trump – was not even the most significant of the last few weeks.

He said that it was the support for Trump from 91-year-old conservative organizer Phyllis Schlafly that is “the one that has kind of turned some heads.”

For older conservative caucus-goers, it was Schlafly’s glowing praise for Trump that signaled to those who have followed her over the last few decades that “maybe it’s safe for them to go ahead and support Trump.”

I know she had 7 kids, IIRC. She is such a mean-spirited, negative person it is hard to imagine anyone wanting to do what was necessary to impregnate her even once.
