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
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:
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 cluesalong 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?
Cruz went to the floor of the Senate to publically call McConnell a liar . Cruz said that his vote for tpa was cast on the basis that McConnell assured him there was not a deal made with the Democrats to support the Ex-Im bank renewal. But McConnell made a separate deal with the emperor ,and the Ex-Im was added to the highway bill . Cruz has taken on the Washington establishment ,often by himself in the hall of the Senate .
Trump chastised Cruz for calling McConnell a liar .
Ethanol subsidies is a big deal . Cruz won't compromise his principles even if it may cost him the Iowa caucus .Trump on the other hand has no principles and is a corporatist who favors government subsidies at the tax payer expense to corporate interests.
You fear Trump like that piece of shit Eric Cantor
Unfortunately I do think that if there were to be a Trump administration the casualty would likely be trade, said Eric Cantor, a former Republican House Majority Leader and now vice chairman of Moelis & Company. Thats a very serious prospect for the world.

Cantor is right in this case . The last businessman who became President ;and signed off on a trade war was Herbert Hoover . He did that right before the market crashed and the Great Depression began.
Nobody "forces " Congress to change laws . That is the lie you bought . The Constitution, through the Commerce Clause, gives Congress exclusive power over trade activities with foreign countries.
The World Trade Organization has just given Europe the right to hit the United States with $4 billion in tariff sanctions to punish us for giving tax breaks to U.S. exporters like Boeing, Microsoft and GE.
Under WTO rules, we are not permitted to retaliate. We must stand and take the EU sucker punch, however hard it wants to hit.

Why does Boeing ,Microsoft and GE need tax breaks ? Talk about crony capitalism !
so you do like taxpayers subsidizing multi-national corporations . You like taxpayers subsidizing turning a food source into an expensive energy additive .
Don't you worry . The GOPe is warming up to Trump ....as is the K Street crowd . They recognize one of their own. The K-Street establishment prefers Trump because with Trump everything is negotiable .
You can coach Donald, Mr. Black said. If he got nominated, hed be scared to death. Thats the point he would call people in the party and say, I just want to talk to you.
We can live with Trump, said Richard F. Hohlt, a veteran lobbyist, reflecting his colleagues sentiment at a Republican National Committee meeting last week in Charleston, S.C. Do they all love Trump? No. But theres a feeling that he is not going to layer over the party or install his own person. Whereas Cruz will have his own people there. http://www.nytimes.com/2016/01/22/us/politics/donald-trump-ted-cruz-republican- establishment.html?_r=0
You like taxpayers subsidizing turning a food source into an expensive energy additive .
The food comes from corn. From a seed. There is plenty of land for food and ethanol.
Bush also supports it. But you like Bush. Rubio supports it but you like Rubio. Christie supports it but you like CHristie, they all support it except curz but you still like them all, except Trump.
So that isn't the reason you don't like Trump. That is you just regurgitating talking points.
