I think Palin's endorsement was not to help Trump, but hurt him

I know that I might be crediting the Repukes for playing 3-Dimensional "Checkers", but they have tried just about everything to derail the Crazy Train known as Trump, and nothing has worked.

Considering her "Track" record, I wouldn't be surprised if one of the other campaigns paid her to endorse Donald. She does, after all, have the Tidy-Bowl Touch...everything she touches turns to s__t

Just my thoughts

Evangelicals make up a large GOP voting bloc there...they're dumber than your average Repuke and still think Palin has a brain.

Nobody else gives a shit.

I'm beginning to think the Donald is actually going to win the Repub nomination.

Palin's endorsement is big for Trump in Iowa. Remember the republican primaries are dominated by the loonies. Having Palin back you puts you at the top of the list.

Trump has gone out of his way to praise Palin, even suggesting she'll have a big place in his administration. She undoubtedly liked the sound of that. With Trump she's relevant again.

12. You are right for sure. The question is just how?

A wad of bucks from the Donald? A promise of a post in his admin?
Whatever it may be you can be sure that her endorsement had strings all over it.

This will float him even higher

Plus it will prolong Palin's so called relevancy
