Does anyone here think Palin's endorsement will help The Donald?

I tried to find a list of prior endorsements by Palin. Google helpfully suggested further phrases to include such as "kiss of death" and "biggest failures".

Yeah, I'm a conspiracy theorist too. My money is on the RNC putting Palin up to endorsing The Donald.

I don't think the RNC has much influence over Palin's antics. Anyway, I'm not sure a Palin endorsement would do Trump harm in the Republican primary. In a general election it would be a kiss of death though.

One wonders if the rnc has much influence over anything. The tea party bloc? Trump? Anyone who isn't a Bush?

I think the Bush machine has the rnc by the balls and it will do whatever Bush needs, as long as he's still in the race. If he drops out it will probably swing over to Rubio.

Watched Christie on Chris Wallace this afternoon and think he'd be the best foil for Hillary. But if he should win the nomination - a very long shot - some Dem district attorney in NJ (or maybe the DOJ) will get a grand jury to indict him for Bridgegate AFTER he wins the nomination, of course. Too bad he's on the wrong side of the MaryJane issue.

How The 2016 Candidates Are Getting Their Money, In 1 Infographic : It's All Politics : NPR

Interesting to see where the candidates are getting their money from... Sanders and Carson look like they have a lot of grassroots support but no sugar daddies yet... Cruz is polar opposite.

The nuts seem to want to wall the US from both top and bottom.

Wisconsin Governor Thinks Wall Along Canadian Border Legitimate Issue

I agree with his position. The Canadians are not sending their best... (maple syrup and bacon).

The referenced article makes clear that the "why not Canada" issue keeps getting brought up by the journalists. It's clear they want to characterize any response whatsoever from the candidate as either racism (if he scoffs at the idea, but still wants one on the south) or crazy if he does anything other than grunt. It's just a clumsy attempt at "gotcha" journalism.

Eventually someone will suggest a dome. How else are we going to stop all those Irish bar tenders getting in.

I'd prefer a moat, personally.

OK people, sharpen your knives, bare your fangs: Ben Carson is in position to displace Trump as the front runner. Tell us why Ben isn't qualified to be President - other than that he is a Republican, which might be enough in certain circles.
