10. And Katrina Pierson, in Texas lost their primary this year

Lizabeth Benacquisto, in Florida also lost their primary this year. As did Taylor Griffin, in North Carolina, Karen Handel, in Georgia, Chris McDaniel (LOL!), in Mississippi, Steve Lonegan, in New Jersey and T.W. Shannon, in Oklahoma. All were Palin 2014 endorsements, and they all lost. Handel's loss was the biggest tell. Palin did more than say she endorsed them, she went so far as to do commercials in that race.

She's no Midas. She rode the now waning wave of the Tea Party. As establishment Republicans have been lashing out at the Tea Party's influence, she's been forced to endorse in more obscure races to find someone willing to accept her. There are a few states where she will still be of use to the candidates, but in all honesty they're dwindling with every election cycle.
