The simplicity of Trump's current attack against Cruz is just brilliant. He's turned the simple playground chant of "Nobody Likes You" into a campaign slogan.

I actually think that the fact that everyone who's ever come into contact with Ted Cruz hates his loving guts is a legitimate issue.

I like that Sarah Palin is such a piece of poo poo that she would endorse a guy who basically shat all over the guy who is the only reason she's a multi millionaire and we know who she is.

Ha, Ted got support-cucked by the Donald.


Trump just paid her for this right? I'm sure she doesn't do this bullshit without something in it for her.

The payoff for Palin is it gets her back into the spotlight and lets her take a hit off of Trump's uncut supply of populist Republican support. Her star had more or less faded but she still has some cachet among the kind of bottom feeders that make up Trump's support and getting back in the spotlight might help her revive some interest in her various products. Gotta get that grift on.

Trump could also bring her on to campaign for him and pay her expenses, but I think he's probably got enough experience wrangling reality-tv celebrities to know the dangers there. He's not as vulnerable as McCain to having to defend stupid things she says but prolonged contact risks some kind of petty celebrity drama coming up and spoiling the endorsement.

Knowing how the minds of the /pol/ crowd work, this is going to amp their cuck-memery up 100%. Palin was willing to latch onto Cruz back when he was the hot new thing for the Tea Party crowd, but now that he's old and busted he's kicked to the curb - and Cruz already made the mistake of preemptively cringing over losing the endorsement, which looks weak. This might not move a lot of hearts and minds exactly but it feeds into the general narrative about Trump being strong and rallying the Conservative base to him while Trump is unlikeable and slimey.

Can I just confirm, as a non-US person: Is calling someone progressive now genuinely an insult, to those on the American right? I mean, not "progressive" in scare-quotes, or a modified insult version like blowgressive or whatever, we're talking just the plain word itself, that's seen as a bad thing?

Was this todays "big announcement"? Really? Does anyone even remember Sarah Palin?

The frothing far right still loves her because she's a winner! You know, except she lost as VP in 2008 and couldn't even finish out her scandal-plagued term as governor. But hey, she didn't have an abortion when she found out her kid was going to be born with brain damage so she's a Conservative Darling and True American Patriot/Christian. Like, in 2008 when she was brought up the biggest thing people like Rush were saying about her was "Governor of Alaska/didn't abort special needs baby" and that's it. But she's loved by millions of equally stupid people who see her as the success story they want to be.

I'm really enjoying the conspiracy against Ted Cruz.

No, really. That's what it is. It's hosed up but glorious. He says something, everyone knows what he means, but they just run with the most damaging possible interpretation of it. The "New York Values" thing was hilarious, and this Palin thing is even worse. Of course Cruz never attacked Palin but, who cares? He's a weasel and deserves it.

Edit: Also, Sarah Palin genuinely seems like general election poison.

Yeah, and the worst part is a lot of the people they call progressive aren't even real progressives.
