I don't know that he had anything to do with it. Do you? It's certainly not stated in the article that he did.

She certainly has no problem interjecting herself into everything on her own in her attempt to remain relevant.

But the rest of the voters--you know, the ones who are appalled by the stupidity of Palin--are completely turned off by her, and her inclusion in his campaign in any way, shape or form will have those on the fence rethinking their support. We saw that with many Republicans who couldn't vote for McCain precisely because he chose her for his running mate.

And as there are more people who know how stupid she is than there are who think she's brilliant, it's a net loss for Trump.

The Trump Train will run over Ryan and his posse without hesitation.

She has no need to "interject" herself into Trump's Wisconsin campaign, as Trump has already used her in his campaign in there. He had her up on stage giving speeches across the state. He must think she helps him in that state or he wouldn't have put her up there to begin with. And I haven't heard anything about him denouncing or distancing himself from her comments, have you?

How do you know she wasn't asked by Paul Nehlen?

You are ignoring the fact that Cruz was the establishment choice by the time Wisconsin voted. He was the face of the anti-Trump movement.

Not really. If it came down to the establishment getting to pick a candidate it would have been Kasich. They were just using Cruz.

C'mon....... you're a Trumpie, don't underestimate him. As with everything in politics, there is a strategy, Trump may have to work with Ryan if he survives. So why not let Palin do the dirty work she so enjoys?

And that is when Cruz peaked. Once he sold out to the "establishment" in Wisconsin, he lost, badly the next 7 races then withdrew from the race.

What he did afterwards isn't relevant because the people in other states can't vote in Wisconsin...

In Wisconsin he was viewed as 'establishment' and anti-Trump so his numbers SHOULDN"T be ignored in your analysis.
