“I don’t think she’d want to do it”, Trump said on NBC’s “Today” show on Wednesday. She continued, “Ready to make America great again, are you ready to stump for Trump?” And Cruz rejected Trump’s self-comparison to Ronald Reagan, saying he was “pretty sure” Reagan never supported or made large donations to Democrats.
Donald Trump seems to have regained some momentum after several weeks in which his dominance of the super-sized Republican presidential field seemed to have waned.
Now, the GOP system is cracking, leaving some in the establishment feeling they would be the outsiders in a party helmed by Trump – or by Texas Sen. “They come back wondering if there is that respect for what it is that their fellow soldiers and airmen and every other member of the military so sacrificially have given to this country”.
No more pussy footing around.
Palin posted a message on Facebook Wednesday afternoon (Jan. 20) that suggested she was heading to a Trump event in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and dismissed media reports about her no-show in Norwalk. “I would note Bernie Sanders chose not to attend”, Cruz said of the vote, where Democrats blocked an effort by Republicans to curb the flow of refugees into the US from Iraq and Syria.
A spokeswoman for Trump’s campaign did not immediately respond to questions about why Palin was a no show at the Iowa event.
A poll released Wednesday has Donald Trump firmly in first place in the state of Florida with 47.6 percent of support from likely Republican voters.
Palin was a virtual newcomer to the national political arena when 2008 GOP presidential nominee John McCain named her as his running mate.
She resigned as governor the following year but has remained in the public spotlight on the lecture circuit and as a conservative political commentator. “They need to stand for something or we’ll fall for anything”.
The endorsement from the younger Palin comes after Rick Tyler, spokesman for Ted Cruz’s campaign, said endorsing Trump would be “a blow” to the former vice presidential candidate.
He was recently spotted dropping by for a bite to eat at the famous Red Arrow Diner last week Tuesday, following another campaign in the state.
