Was Palin's endorsement of Trump the flop of the year? | TheHill
Actually no ... Ted Cruz cheating helped Trump lose Iowa.

One thing to keep in mind is this is not a very Republican seat. It does lean Republican, but Romney won it by 4, so it is one that could become interesting if Ryan loses to a Primary challenge from the Right.

Thank you for finally addressing the topic.

It would be quite interesting to see a Speaker of the House, especially this Speaker of the House, taken down in his own primary. Canter, the majority whip, got an unfortunate lesson in such an impossible thing.

I doubt Paul Ryan cares much about the opposition of a person with the intelligence of a 7 year old. I'm probably being too generous.

The likes of Donald Trump and Sarah Palin have made the likes of Ryan, Romney, Bush, etc. much more palatable than they used to be. I'm as much against the establishment as anyone else, but I prefer candidates who at least have a few brain cells and are capable of putting forth a coherent policy position rather than just lashing out at everyone.

LOL It would be hilarious if they lose the seat to a democrat. I would call it "the Palin Effect"

Sarah Palin "the quitter" can't just go away. If Trump's campaign thinks she will help them, they are more delusional than what I thought.

The Democrats would have to run a very competitive candidate and the DNC would have to invest in the election. Got any info on that?

Yeah I agree. They are making them look like the good guys.

“His political career is over but for a miracle because he has so disrespected the will of the people.”

Paul will be ripped from his seat and taken out, Trump style.
