This is nice. Yesterday morning, I posted THIS about how I felt that Ted Cruz shouldn’t criticize my mom over the speculation that she might endorse Donald Trump.

Here’s his gracious response:

I was a nice tweet by Cruz. The Palin endorsement was a real sting for Cruz and he responds like this...classy :-)

[dschapin]

Glad to see Bristol’s classy response to Sen. Cruz’s classy tweet.

Good grief a Bristol Palin blog!!

I sympathize with Ted. I know losing Sarah’s endoresment was a hurtful disappointment. My guess is Sarah is quite aware of this too, but she had to make a tough choice. Which of the two impressive men is most likely to be elected based on present factors. I suspect after the first few primaries are done, Sarah will communicate that message directly to Ted.

Sometimes the practical thing can seem cruel or disloyal.
I’ll bet Heidi Cruz, Ted’s wife, had a lot to say about the matter in private. They may have been banking on Sarah’s help.
I do suspect that Sarah is using her daughter Palin’s Twitter Account once in a while, and under Bristol’s name. These ‘Mini-Me’ greek chorus remarks from Bristol are just too convieniant , a little too helpful.

Ted Cruz Shows Class in Gracious Response to Criticism

January 20, 2016 by Bristol Palin

This is nice.  Yesterday morning, I posted THIS about how I felt that Ted Cruz shouldn't criticize my mom over the speculation that she might endorse Donald Trump.

Here's his gracious response:

I love @SarahPalinUSA Without her support, I wouldn't be in the Senate. Regardless of what she does in 2016, I will always be a big fan.

- Ted Cruz ([at]tedcruz) January 19, 2016

Thank you, Ted, for your Tweet.  As I mentioned in my original post, I have always liked Sen. Cruz and his wife - they were kind to me when we met a while back.

In fact, I even met his dad!

They are a great family.

While I'm at it, I appreciate all of the candidates who are sticking their necks out to run in this race.  Hillary Clinton must be defeated.  (Well, I'll take it if she's indicted and put in jail.)  Thank you, Ted Cruz, and everyone else, for having the guts to run.

“I think it [would] be a blow to Sarah Palin, because Sarah Palin has been a champion for the conservative cause, and if she was going to endorse Donald Trump, sadly, she would be endorsing someone who’s held progressive views all their life on the sanctity of life, on marriage, on partial-birth abortion,” Cruz campaign spokesman Rick Tyler said on CNN’s “New Day.”

I like Cruz, but what was he expected to tweet.

a politically suicidal “screw you”?

[Patriot Babe]

ROFL

I agree, Ted had to be gracious. He can’t come out sounding like a defeated angry person.

[SmokingJoe]

Screw you would be fine with me. Donald Trump does that all the time.
But hey, Ted Cruz is a really classy guy. That’s why Trump has one of the lowest net favorability rating with the general electorate amongst all the GOP candidates, while Cruz has the highest net favorability rating.

[SmokingJoe]

Ted Cruz will win Iowa. He hasn’t been defeated in any race by anybody. And Trump has never won any race for political office in his life.

[nickcarraway]

Palin will regret it when Trump turns against her, as he always does.

[libbylu]

Cruz is always classy.
Now as for DT = haven’t seen it yet. He is full blown Alinsky and seems to have lived his life that way.

[lee martell]

Hopefully, before that (betrayal and abandonment) happens, Sarah will be already placed into a position of influence.
I have no doubt Donald can be brusque and cold blooded when he want’s somebody out of his life.

[Bobalu]

I like Trump but he does have a strong ‘Business is Business’ attitude... this cannot be denied with a straight face :-)

[Irenic]

Cruz didn’t criticize, Rick Tyler did, and Cruz wasn’t responding to Bristol.

[dp0622]

then why is he so far behind? it’ crunch time if he wants to win.

i’m from NYC and i NEVER Thought i would see the day a NYCer, not just a NYer, would be president.

kind of blows the mind.

two tough competitors, should be an interesting eight weeks

[dp0622]

i just looked at realclearpolitics

everyone here says cruz cant win, but trump is the only one losing a head to head with her. hmm.

[dp0622]

if trump wins the nomination, i will vote for him in the generals and hope he is telling the truth in what he believes,

i’m a fellow nyc guy.

but i will always wonder, in the back of my head, what if he DIDN’T run?

would Cruz have taken it.

he beats trump one to one.

i wonder which supporters of other candidates are going for cruz and going for trump.

my guesses:

Carson goes to Cruz.

Jeb goes to trump all 3 percent lol

rubio goes to trump.

huckabee would have gone to cruz, but with his backing trump, i dont know.

anyone have an opinion on where these voters will go if their guy drops out
