Trump’s Mystery Guest: Social Media Speculating Palin Might Endorse
Yesterday, Trump revealed that the “big” announcement his campaign had been touting was actually an endorsement. There’s just some speculation, and Trump has announced a forthcoming “major event” at his 5pm rally in Iowa.
“We’ll talk about that later, but it’s a very big event planned, and I think everyone is going to be very impressed”, Trump said.
However, Falwell Jr. said in an interview with Sean Hannity Monday night that he would not be endorsing any political candidate for president, explaining that he can not do so because Liberty is a non-profit organization – meaning the university is barred from participating in political campaigns.
The pair have known each other for years, publicly sharing a pizza on the campaign trail back in 2011.
If a Palin endorsement is in the offing, she would likely fly from Iowa to Oklahoma with The Donald in his personal jet tomorrow morning after he finishes a two-day swing through Iowa.
Sarah Palin, however, is not the only speculated “special guest”.
Is she going to endorse him? Cruz’s base, her endorsement was unlikely to convert many moderate or Establishment Republicans to Trump’s side. Though Ms Palin was a deeply controversial choice to be Senator John McCain’s running mate in 2008, she remains hugely popular among some groups of American conservatives.
In September, Palin told CNN’s Jake Tapper than she would be happy to join a Trump administration and suggested she would be interested in leading the Department of Energy. “That’s a good problem for voters to have, because we know that, as you say, they are both strong and very decisive and someone who would take the initiative”.
On Tuesday, Reporters also had questions for Trump about Cruz’s latest round of attacks on him, including the accusation that Trump lacks the temperament required for the presidency and for making military decisions. “Because I think if Trump is the nominee, as others have said, I think Trump gets creamed by Hillary”.
