Former Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin suggested that Donald Trump lost the Iowa caucuses because he didn’t show voters enough of his “conservative side,” Yahoo! News reported Tuesday.

When asked why she thought Trump lost Iowa, she told Yahoo: “I think he just had to have seen more of his conservative side out, because Iowa’s so good and conservative.”

Palin recently endorsed the real estate mogul and traveled to Iowa on Monday to help him campaign in the Hawkeye State. But Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) ultimately was triumphant with 27.6 percent of caucus votes, leaving Trump in second place with 24.3 percent.

Palin told Yahoo while walking through the airport that she thought Trump still was “going to do well” in New Hampshire.

  2. “…because he wasn’t conservative enough…”

    Stock response to any conservative loss.

  3. By his conservative side she must mean his long and tawdry history with women including three wives one of whom he beat up, hots for his daughter, and the Trump gold embossed plane which takes him to the Palm Beach mansion after Iowa rallies and later to the gold encrusted apartment on Fifth Avenue.,

  4. Trump will grow tired of her very soon… he deserves her…

  5. Just what my cat said.
