I'll admit it -- when this speculation began mounting yesterday, I wasn't remotely sold on the idea that Palin was poised jump aboard the Trump Train when so many influential figures within the conservative talk radio constellation are at long last blasting The Donald and rallying to Cruz. The Palin speculation seemed even less plausible when this rumor leaked: Multiple little birdies tell me Jerry Falwell, Jr. is going to endorse Trump for president and come to Iowa with him tomorrow.— Steve Deace (@SteveDeaceShow) January 18, 2016 Wow. Palin's jet following Trump campaign; endorsement imminent. Broken via flight records: https://t.co/BALN6KGFSE https://t.co/Z4rFX0mirY— Matt Popovich (@mpopv) January 19, 2016 @LPDonovan did you see it went to Tulsa next https://t.co/s6q4PMgPSG— Andrew Kaczynski (@BuzzFeedAndrew) January 19, 2016 Gonna watch the Trump/Palin rally with the largest bottle of bourbon I can find.— Guy Benson (@guypbenson) January 19, 2016
Falwell bestowed a fulsome introduction upon Donald "Two Corinthians" Trump just yesterday -- much to the dismay of many in the evangelical community -- so Deace's report made sense. Surely that's the big announcement and "special guest" Trump's been pumping on social media, right? Not so fast, my friends:
Interesting. But so what if there's a private jet bound from Anchorage to Iowa? That could be a coincidence. Or...uh, maybe not:
Oh my. The jet is headed to Ames, then hopping over to Tulsa? Exactly mirroring Trump's campaign itinerary? Dude. This might actually be happening. And what a splash it would make less than two weeks before Iowa. Should Palin's endorsement both come to fruition (there have been clues along the way), and push Trump over the top, emotionalist nationalistic populism will have officially supplanted principled, policy-driven, limited-government conservatism as the currently dominant strain within the American right-wing. I'll leave you with this, because why not at this point?
Buckle up, amigos. If you need me, I'll be passed out under my desk:

Quis custodiet ipsos custodes? Frankly you're not being honest. You have said you would support Rubio in the past. Rubio support Ethanol and Sugar subsidies and a whole bunch of other stuff. So you are not consistent. You don't like Trump because he is for American workers and not in favor of hedge fund managers and companies that take their companies overseas. What I am saying is you are an ultra liberal on trade and putting America first.
yeah me and Reagan ,Milton Freidman ;all ultra-liberals . Unlike those conservatives like Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren.
Reagan is dead and wasnt part of any of this. Again making you a liar. You think Hillary and Obama who share your view are conservative. You're the dim bulb of the family. Or the knife that is dull. Take your trade ideas and shove them up your obama.
wrong again . NAFTA was Reagan's baby .
NAFTA was signed by Clinton. Reagan didn't negotiate NAFTA. He didn't sign it. He didn't support it. in fact he was a protectionist. Ask Harley Davidson.

It was the Reagan administration that launched the Uruguay Round of multilateral trade negotiations in 1986 that lowered global tariffs and created the World Trade Organization. It was his administration that won approval of the U.S.-Canada Free Trade Agreement in 1988. That agreement soon expanded to include Mexico in what became the North American Free Trade Agreement, realizing a vision that Reagan first articulated in the 1980 campaign. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hcTPwHY-LpY It was Reagan who vetoed protectionist textile quota bills in 1985 and 1988. During Reagan’s eight years in office, Americans eagerly expanded their engagement in the global economy. In 1980, the year before Reagan became president, Americans spent a total of $334 billion on imported goods and services and payments on foreign investment in the United States. By 1988, his last year in office, American spending in the global economy had nearly doubled, to $663 billion. If Reagan was a “protectionist,” it had no discernable effect on the ability of Americans to spend freely in the global marketplace. Fittingly, one of the major federal buildings on Pennsylvania Avenue is named the Ronald Reagan Building and International Trade Center. “Voluntary” import quotas for steel and Japanese cars and imposing Section 201 tariffs on imported motorcycles to protect Harley-Davidson. were the exceptions and not the rule. They were tactical retreats designed to defuse rising protectionists pressures in Congress. The Lou Dobbs, and Pat Buchanans who claim to represent the conservative causes Reagan defined ignore the fact that he was very open to multilateral free trade agreements .
