Does Palin's endorsement of Trump help or hurt Trump win the nomination?

I have been struggling with this question. What do you think?

It will gain him or shore up a small number of insane Republicans and the somewhat smarter but male chauvinistic Republicans who hate her will know he is just using her and give him credit for being clever at using a women they don't like, to gain him power.

Those who think it's a horrible move and cant stand her will forget about the endorsement by the time the General Election comes if he makes it that far.

... and keep momentum.

He is riding a wave of invincibility and is worried that an initial loss will shatter it.

he'll have to dump her before the general, though. She's worth about a 20 point drop in the general.

None of the Republicans are going to win against Bernie, so the endorsements doesn't even help the Republicans. It just reminds them of how stupid the Party has truly become.
