sarah palin comes to the defens of donald trump's immigration plan with greta on fox news. after Donald Trump talked up the idea of putting Sarah Palin in his administration. Palin wrote Friday on the conservative Breitbart news site that Trump's candidacy will continue to appeal to "ordinary Americans" despite what she described as a bludgeon of attacks from GOP elites, pundits and the media. Calling Trump's candidacy "a shot in the arm for ordinary Americans fed up with the predictable poll-tested blather of squishy milquetoast career politicians," Palin argued that Trump's style and message is appealing to voters and that he is tapping into "major populist grievances." Sarah Palin surprised nobody by appearing on On The Record to voice her support for Donald Trump‘s immigration policies. She began by telling Greta Van Susteren that even though Trump’s plans are not yet complete, she praised him for looking at the big picture, and challenged his competitors to do the same. “When we incentivize people to come on over with any avenue, it sends the wrong message to illegals,” Palin said. “In fact, we are rewarding them taking illegal action as their first step as they are on our land. How much sense does that make? an Susteren then asked Palin about her opinion about Trump’s proposed idea to revoke birthright citizenship despite the challenge it posed by the 14th Amendment. Palin responded by saying that the notion that the GOP wants to separate kids from their families is a deliberate portrayal of heartlessness. She also expressed confidence that Trump’s inevitable policy proposals will teach children to stay in line and that their family unit will be maintained. Van Susteren’s last part of the discussion took a look at whether Palin’s enthusiasm implied an endorsement. Palin did not confirm either way, but responded by saying she was “so happy” with Trump: “He is the best thing to happen to the political class since the beauty of the Tea Party genuine movement rose up and shined light on crony capitalism and pulled the rug right out from under status quo politicians who just kind of embrace that permanent political class.” RELATED: The Donald Trump-Sarah Palin political love affair And Palin also defended Trump from criticism that is bubbling up in certain conservative circles that Trump's flip-flops on key conservative issues prove he is not a true conservative. "'But he changed his mind on positions!'" Palin wrote, echoing recent criticisms. "Reagan had been an FDR Democrat. Should we hold that against him or be grateful he saw the light?" Palin also defended Trump's contributions to Democratic campaign coffers, arguing in the same way Trump has that those donations are the cost of business in the largely liberal city of New York. "If he was building it in Salt Lake City, I'm sure he would have donated to Republicans," she wrote. Palin has yet to endorse Trump or any other candidate in the Republican primary but has been supportive of Trump's message, which appears to be resonating with Palin supporters.

Palin's op-ed came one day after Breitbart's senior editor-at-large published a piece headlined "Trump goes mushy, incoherent on immigration." But Palin urged that, instead of bashing Trump, the GOP establishment should "quit dismissing" voters who are galvanized by Trump's message. "If you want to win again, GOP, you need these good people," she wrote.
