with helping him win his senate seat, today he announces that radio host glenn beck will join him on the campaign trail this saturday in iowa. it's a sign of where the gop center of gravity lies. that while the two leading candidates are competing over talk radio and reality stars, neither of them has a single endorsement from a sitting republican senator for governor. not one. beck has never been a big fan of donald trump's politics, and in a facebook post last night, he questioned palin's motives for supporting trump. quote, when sara and the tea party won a hard-fought election and were under attack in 2010, donald trump was giving money to pelosi, reid. i couldn't disagree more. perhaps she knows more than those of us still on the outside. maybe the press was right about her. but for all the wrong reasons. it's not clear what exactly ben meant to imply about palin's intentions but this was not the first time he has criticized her. >> i don't know who she is anymore. i don't know what she stands for. i saw a clip of her talking to donald trump. what the hell is that? i don't even know who she is any more. i don't know wh
