Sarah Palin, who became a Tea Party sensation and a favorite of grass-roots conservatives, will endorse Donald Trump in Iowa, the New York Times reports.
“Mrs. Palin… could amplify the news media-circus aspects of Mr. Trump’s candidacy: Like him, she is a reality-TV star accustomed to playing to the cameras and often accused of emphasizing flash over substance. But Mrs. Palin, who despite her waning visibility within the Republican Party retains a sizable following, provides Mr. Trump with valuable new currency at a moment when he is being attacked over his conservative bona fides by Sen. Ted Cruz, with whom Mr. Trump is neck-and-neck in the Iowa polls.”
