Donald Trump said Wednesday that there “certainly would be a role somewhere” in his presidential administration for Sarah Palin, who announced her endorsement for him Tuesday, but he hasn’t discussed that possibility with her.

Track Palin, the former governor’s eldest son and a former military service member, was recently arrested and charged on domestic violence charges in Wasilla, Alaska. “Without her friendship and support, I wouldn’t be in the Senate today”, Cruz said Tuesday, minutes before the endorsement was confirmed.
One of those evangelicals is Nelson Montalvo, who lives in Sunset Park, Brooklyn.
“Are you ready to stump for Trump?”
Cruz, perhaps getting out front of the pending endorsement, tweeted his appreciation for Palin on Tuesday. “I’ve always liked her a lot and respected her a lot”, Trump said.
Trump did some footwork around the question, stressing that Palin was very supportive and “never tried to make a deal”, despite speculation that she was angling for a position on the ticket.
“I think it helps Trump overwhelm the news cycle with Trump coverage at a critical time”, he said.
“Endorsements alone don’t guarantee victory, but Palin’s embrace of Trump may turn the fight over the evangelical vote into a war for the soul of the party”, he said.
Former Republican vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin has thrown her support behind frontrunner Donald Trump for the party’s presidential nomination. “As he has said since Senator [Lindsey] Graham exited the race, he will not be taking sides and endorsing a primary candidate at this point in the race”.
She contrasted them with conservative Republicans: “Right wingin’, bitter clingin’, proud clingers of our guns, our god, and our religions, and our Constitution”. Several referenced what many saw as her poor performance as a vice presidential candidate.
Declaring that the “status quo has to go” she even asked the crowd at Iowa State University: “Can I get a hallelujah?”
Palin has previously said that she would be interested in being Energy secretary, though she added to CNN in September that she would eliminate the federal department.
