“Don’t underestimate Sarah Palin’s ability to excite conservative Republicans”, said Steffen Schmidt, a political science professor at Iowa State, who pointed to the boost she gave U.S. Sen.

The girlfriend told authorities she was punched in the face by Palin, who is the oldest child of Sarah Palin, the 2008 Republican vice presidential nominee and a conservative leader.
Trump’s campaign touted what it called the “coveted and influential” endorsement of the former Alaska governor, saying she’s praised Trump’s leadership and “unparalleled ability to speak the truth and produce real results”.
In a campaign rally at Iowa State University on Tuesday, Ms Palin asked cheering supporters.
In recent months, Palin has been complimentary about the billionaire tycoon as well as Texas Senator Ted Cruz, Trump’s main rival.
Trump, who has no previous political experience, has run a deliberately provocative campaign that has shaken the Republican establishment and propelled him into the lead in national polls.
Those comments prompted Palin’s daughter to pen a bitter blog post in which she criticized Cruz for his “arrogance” in stating that her mother’s endorsement might somehow harm her conservative credentials.
Not surprisingly, Sarah Palin didn’t mention her son Track’s arrest.
New York City’s two big tabloids embraced Donald Trump’s latest presidential endorsement with their Wednesday-morning front pages.
“He’s going rogue left and right, that’s why he’s doing so well”. The impact of Palin’s endorsement is relegated to certain parts of the country, according to GOP strategist Ron Bonjean. She has previously said she would be happy to be his energy secretary if he became president.
AMES – Sarah Palin, the politician-turned-reality TV star, offered a passionate endorsement on Tuesday to Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump, the reality TV star-turned-politician, declaring that “the status quo has got to go”.
“I’m in it – to win it. Because we believe in America, and we love our freedom”, she said.
The plea for help came from Track Palin’s girlfriend of one year, who as the victim of domestic violence was not named in the police report. “Without her friendship and support, I wouldn’t be in the Senate today, and so regardless of what Sarah decides to do in 2016, I will always remain a big, big fan of Sarah Palin’s”.

Earlier, Cruz campaign spokesman Rick Tyler told CNN that if Palin endorses Trump, it would be a “blow” to her reputation because, he said, Trump has held progressive views throughout his life. June Heidn said she was “inspiring” and might help Mr Trump appeal to female voters.
