...

The former Alaska governor maintains a community of millions of Facebook fans, and while some cheered her backing of Mr. Trump, others called her a sellout who was only seeking another moment in the political spotlight.

"Very sorry to see that Sarah Palin has decided that being a maverick is more important than being a conservative," said Dale Roberts, of Calvert City, Ky. "Trump supports gay marriage. He is pro abortion. He is anything but a conservative."

John Guy Lockwood Burpee, of Fort Worth, said that he was disappointed that Mrs. Palin would be...

Is that like Whoppi’s rape rape logic? You can support liberal positions and be conservative? Who knew?

It’s simple. Moderate is the word for people supporting Trump. They have some conservative positions and some conservative ones. Accept what you are folks. Embrace it.

As was Ronald Reagan, 13 years before he was president

No, Reagan was always pro-Life. Always.

Of this you can be sure...if Cruz doesn’t win the GOP Primary, most of his supporters will not vote in the general election. They will instead sit home on election night having a pity party.

If Trump doesn’t win the GOP Primary, I (and most Trump supporters) will gladly vote for Cruz. Sanders or Hillary are NOT options!

People who refuse to stand for or fight for what they claim to believe in always complain about those that do. Because, simply put, we are better people than they are. Their inaction proves that conclusively. People they know they do not have it in them to be. So they can only bitch in their self loathing while destroying everything around them. And pointing the finger of blame away from the actual problem. Themselves.

Norm, you should also accept and embrace the fact that Cruz supported H1B Visas, and that he joined Glenn Beck on the Southern border passing out Teddy Bears and Soccer Balls to illegals. You didn’t forget about this...did you?

If it no big deal, why do Cruz supporters keep posting articles about it.

Go post articles about Glen Beck supporting Cruz.
Cruz got Becks endorsement. Isn’t that good news for Cruz supporters?

I didn’t forget Donnie’s Soros connections, Hillary donations, Sharpton associations or Dreamer guided tours either.

Or Trumps “Sorry conservatives” healthcare promise or touchback Amnesty either.

Address those before throwing crap at Ted Cruz.

He IS in favor of Single Payer Health Insurance.

"for the most it's going to be a private plan
and people are going to be able to go out and negotiate great plans
with lots of different competition with lots of competitors with great companies
and they can have their doctors, they can have plans, they can have everything."

D.Trump

Doesn't look like single payer to me.

People who don’t vote in the general election will be those bitching the loudest about how bad things are.

If Cruz supporters spent as much time touting him as they do trashing Trump, maybe he would be doing better?

Funny coming from a guy that always backs the lesser evil no matter what. If you wanted to do better you’d elect conservatives.

As to Ted doing better, you can either help that along or continue supporting lesser evils. Your choice.

Palin politically prstituted herself by supporting Donald Trump and ethanol subsidies for the sake of getting even with the Old Guard Republicans.

No, Reagan was always pro-Life. Always.

Nonsense. That's like me saying I am completely against illegal drug use, while snorting a line of cocaine.

Gov. Reagan signed the Therapeutic Abortion Act in 1967...at the time the most liberal abortion rights law in the nation -- a full SIX years before Roe v. Wade.

Reagan also signed the Mulford Act in 1967, which repealed a law allowing public carrying of loaded firearms. Here's a quote that Cruzheads should read -- and then blast Reagan as a radical progressive (or stop lying about Trump):

Reagan was present when the protesters arrived and later commented that he saw “no reason why on the street today a citizen should be carrying loaded weapons.” and that guns were a “ridiculous way to solve problems that have to be solved among people of good will.” In a later press conference, Reagan added that he Mulford Act “would work no hardship on the honest citizen.”

Sounds like Obama on guns there. I guess Reagan wasn't conservative enough for super-conservative Teddy Cruz (when he's not pimping a 500% increase in H1-Bs, ObamaTrade and a pathway to citizenship)
