governor and 2008 vp pick, sarah palin. it's an endorsement that trump hopes could sway late to his side caucus goers. and governor terry branstad delivered an anti-endorsement when a reporter asked him if cruz needed to be defeated, the governor simply said yes. >> he hasn't supported renewable fuels and i believe it would be a big mistake for iowa to support him. i know he's ahead in the polls, but the only poll that counts is the one they take on caucus night and i think it could change between now and then. >> that was the second stomach punch for cruz today. the governor said he would not endorse a candidate, but he would not remain neutral in the fight over ethanol subsidies. cruz reacted to the blow while campaigning in new hampshire. he's a little bit upset with the governor in trying to group him with the republican establishment. >> it's no surprise that the establishment is in full panic mode. we said from the beginning that the washington cartel was going to panic more and more. the washington cartel lives on cronyism. it lives on making deals. >> what's interesting here

points in the last month. cruz had a rough couple days. sarah palin endorsed donald trump. and the governor of iowa urged people to vote for anyone but ted cruz. and bob dole warned of cataclysmic fears if cruz won. >> they don't like him. he did not have one senator stick up for him because people are saying he is a real problem with running. he was born in canada. he was born in canada and he was a citizen of canada until 15 months ago. he said he didn't know that. he didn't know about his loans. he don't know about goldman sachs and citi. he didn't know he was a citizen of canada and now he's running for president. >> republican voters want a conservative. they don't want a deal maker and supported hillary clinton and mitch mcconnell and john boehner and chuck schumer. >> donald trump and sarah palin were together for a second day with trump calling her a very special wonderful person. cnn's sunlen serfaty has the latest. >> reporter: good morning, john and christine. donald trump and sarah palin hitting the campaign trail in oklahoma rallying supporters at oral roberts universi

that is. a lot of political insiders and watchers seem to think it could be sarah palin. that is unconfirmed but it would be interesting because we haven't seen trump supporters in this state or any state move as a block. if you look at the people supporting him, it's not just tea partiers, not just social conservatives and not even just sort of independent leaning voters. it's a mix of those folks. if she does come and join him on the trail today, it will sort of be interesting to see what their star power is like combined. now, trump's schedule today is a very heavy campaign schedule for him, at least. it's three stops throughout the state as well as another one tomorrow morning. and just a sign of how much the campaign is ramped up, as we're just two weeks out from the iowa caucuses. like you said, ted cruz and donald trump are neck and neck and doing everything they can to edge each other out at the last minute. >> absolutely right. sara murray is there for us. sara, we'll get back to you shortly. >> the other question is, is she the only sara who will be in iowa today with d

sarah palin. mrs. palin, who ran as senator john mccain's vice presidential running mate during the 2008 election is popular with some conservatives for her vociferous 07 signatures to president obama. how much will sarah palin's endorsement help donald trump? to susan ferrechio and welcome. susan: i think donald trump's teflon nature goes in both directions. when he says something that seems outrageous to people, it has no changes in the poll. and on the other hand i think a palin endorsement is going to neither help nor hurt him. i think trump is a rising star on his observe merit with the conservative base and with republican voters. it may help bring in some of the ehave been gel cal vote, which is what he needs flown iowa. she's very popular with those voters. in that sense she may help but he is rising ahead of the pack so far nationally, it's not going to have a huge impact on him. eleanor: i think it's a short-term ploy for iowa. she does have some appeal among the evangelical voters and that arer a large part of the electorate in iowa. but let's remember, she helped destroy
