Palin, whose endorsement of Cruz’s long-shot Senate bid in 2012 was credited by Cruz himself as the reason why he won the race that launched his national political career, gave the following statement to Breitbart after delegates booed Cruz off the stage at the Republican National Convention on Wednesday night:
Turns out Ted Cruz’s partner, Carly Fiorina, had a more graceful exit from the political stage than he had.
Cruz’s broken pledge to support the will of the people tonight was one of those career-ending “read my lips” moments. I guarantee American voters took notice and felt more unsettling confirmation as to why we don’t much like typical politicians because they campaign one way, but act out another way. That kind of political status quo has got to go because it got us into the mess we’re in with America’s bankrupt budgets and ramped up security threats.
It’s commonplace for politicians to disbelieve their word is their bond, as evidenced by Cruz breaking his promise to endorse his party’s nominee, evidently thinking whilst on the convention stage, “At this point, what difference does it make?” We’ve been burned so horribly by that attitude that voters won’t reward politicians pulling that “what difference does it make” stunt again. Politicians will see — it makes all the difference in the world to us.

Classic Palin
when the Constitution is used for personal aggrandizement
[their word is their bond,]
There’s that phrase again!!!
PLAGIARIST!!!
If Trump wins, Cruz will be a pariah in his own party, except with the other pariahs, McCain, Ryan, McConnell, and anyone named Bush...........................
Nice Sarah
Donald is brilliant. Set Ted up to show once and for all that he deserved his nickname all along.
BTTT
Palin is right, as usual.
I have never seen a man like Cruz, so politically flexible so as to bend over in front of 30 million viewers and stick his own head up his own ass.
That was sight to behold. Trump knew it and actually let Cruz do it.
Master stroke of strategery by Trump....masterful.
I predict that Trump will not only win, but that many of America’s detractors both inside and outside of the country will be doing the same as Cruz did....sticking their own heads up their own asses!
It was like a Jedi trick by the Trump.
I think Ted Cruz just flushed his political career down the toilet.
Yet Trump allowed him a speaking spot... who showed class and was the gracious one here? Oh the “rusty” irony!!!
Major fail, Cruz.
Sarah's Ping List :)
We need love, But all we want is danger.
We team up, Then Switch Sides like a Record Changer.
The rumors Are terrible and cruel.
But, honey most of them are true
I thought last night as I watched Cruz’s speech... “The only reason Trump would allow this is, if Cruz wanted to hang himself, Trump would give him the rope to do it...” and Cruz did it. He is utterly diminished, and will become the pariah of the Senate.
While I agree that Cruz immolated himself last night, I fail to see what was masterful about giving him a platform.
Can’t wait.
Ted does his impersonation of Pee Wee Herman at about the 25 second mark. Check it out ......

Draw back the hammer on your revolver, brace your wrist firmly, and SQUEEZE off the trigger.....
But damn it all, Ted, you should pull that six-shooter out of the holster FIRST, rather than aim at your own foot.
Some 95% of the personal woe in this world is self-induced.
