Palin Appears To Attribute Her Son’s Domestic Violence Arrest To PTSD

Of course, Trump mocked McCain’s war record in Iowa last summer and Palin stepped around that.

Richard Schwarm, the former chairman of the Iowa Republican Party, said Palin’s popularity
remains solid in the state’s conservative circles.

Court documents say 26-year-old Track Palin, who is alleged to have battered his girlfriend in the incident, is charged with assault, interfering with the report of a domestic violence crime and possessing a weapon while intoxicated in connection with the incident. “Because I think if Trump is the nominee, as others have said, I think Trump gets creamed by Hillary”. Palin endorsed Trump at a rally in Iowa Tuesday. June Heidn, 62, said Palin was “inspiring” and might help Trump appeal to female voters. Meanhwhile the billionaire brushed off the House of Commons debate over whether he should be banned from Britain, saying: “I am honoured by the tremendous support in the United Kingdom – by the way people have stuck up for me”.

It’s not the first encounter with the law for Palin, who appeared on “Sarah Palin’s Alaska” reality TV show with his family.

“I don’t think she’s really credible anymore”, said Bruce Dodge, 66, a retiree.

Palin offered her full-throated support for Trump and slammed President Barack Obama as the “capitulator in chief”. The woman said she went inside after getting her phone.

Sarah Palin’s support is the highest-profile backing for a Republican so far and it came the same day that Iowa’s Republican governor, Terry Branstad, said he hoped that Senator Ted Cruz would be defeated in Iowa.

After the event, Trump said, “We’re going to give ’em hell”. It was less an interview in the journalistic sense, and more a chance for Trump to run through the bullet points of his early stump speech.

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.

Iowa’s governor, Terry Branstad, said Cruz was not the candidate his state should be supporting. Mr Trump said he was “greatly honoured” to receive her endorsement, adding: “She is a friend, and a high-quality person whom I have great respect for”.
