“I am a big fan of Sarah Palin, but I’m not saying”.

Ted Cruz, who is now way ahead of Trump, slightly behind Trump, or neck and neck with Trump in Iowa, depending on which poll you’re looking at, is quite displeased by the prospect of today’s announcement.
Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has been teasing a “major announcement”, set to be released in Iowa today, sending Twitter abuzz with speculation that his “special guest” might be Sarah Palin.
If the endorsement turns out to be true, it could not come at better time for Trump, who is in a neck-and-neck race with Sen.
Many observers thought that guest would be Liberty University President Jerry Falwell Jr., who spoke highly of Trump Monday during Trump’s address to the university’s convocation. “From there, it was scheduled to go to Tulsa, Oklahoma, where Trump has a rally on Wednesday”, the Independent Journal reported.
Palin has been extremely supportive of Trump throughout his campaign, going back to last summer, so it wouldn’t be a major surprise if she does end up endorsing Trump.
Bristol Palin was responding to remarks from Cruz spokesman Rick Tyler earlier in day Tuesday, when he suggested Palin’s endorsement of Trump would “be a blow to Sarah Palin”. And I assumed that she would jump on the bandwagon of the candidate she considered to be the most like her. But I really, really wanted to believe, somewhere deep down, that Sarah Palin was above endorsing, of all people, the least conservative man running for President, Donald Trump. “And if she was going to endorse Donald Trump, sadly she’d be endorsing someone who’s held Progressive views all their life on the sanctity of life, marriage, partial birth abortion”. While the jury is out as to whether or not this is actually going to happen, at least one person really hopes the former Alaska governor endorses Trump: her eldest daughter, Bristol. A Cruz aide told Politico that he would be “deeply disappointed” if Palin indeed backed Trump.
