Palin's endorsement of Didier was just a throwaway endorsement. Remember when she tweeted her endorsement of Angela Mcglowan after she was clearly in a distant, distant 3rd in her GOP primary?
What in the world are Palin's motives I wonder? Is this designed to enhance her speaking fees?
I think some of these decisions are made haphazardly without any thought and others, like Branstad, are made strategically to enhance her profile, and others, like Paul, are to enhance her anti-establishment creds
Palin's endorsements are pretty formulaic. Endorse the longshot candidate; if they win, it's because of Palin power, if they lose it's because they're a sh**tty candidate - endorse longshot unless frontrunner is a woman, unless said woman is Lisa Murkowski.
How does that explain Branstad?
