Bristol Palin: I hope my mom endorses Trump
The Hill ^ | January 19, 2016 | By Jesse Byrnes

Bristol Palin on Tuesday urged her mom, former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, to endorse Donald Trump over Republican presidential rival Sen. Ted Cruz (Texas).

The younger Palin took to her blog to note that her mom "has consistently supported" Cruz and accuse the Texas senator of "arrogance" for thinking a Trump endorsement could hurt her.

"After hearing what Cruz is now saying about my mom, in a negative knee-jerk reaction, makes me hope my mom does endorse Trump," Bristol Palin wrote in her blog post

that her mom shared on her Facebook page and tweeted to her 1.2 million followers.

"Cruz's flip-flop, turning against my mom who's done nothing but support and help him when others sure didn't, shows he's a typical politician. How rude to that he's setting up a false narrative about her!" she added.

Bristol Palin was responding to remarks from Cruz spokesman Rick Tyler earlier in day Tuesday, when he suggested Palin's endorsement of Trump would "be a blow to Sarah Palin."

"I think it would be a blow to Sarah Palin, because Sarah Palin has been a champion of 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, he supported [the] TARP bailout - it goes on and on and on," Tyler said on CNN's "New Day."

"I didn’t go to Harvard Law School, but I know this: You can like two people in a race, but there will only one president," Bristol Palin shot back in her blog post.

"The audacity to suggest that because she chooses one over the other will somehow 'damage' her just shows arrogance," she added. "I hope you're right, and that she endorses Donald Trump today for President."

Speculation has been rising that Sarah Palin would be endorsing Trump during a campaign event in Iowa on Tuesday after Trump touted a "big announcement."

Today wasn't Sarah, so we'll have to wait & see.

My bet is she'll keep her powder dry and support the nominee.

No doubt.

There certainly is a cottage industry of politicians’ celebrity children.

LOL.

There's got to be a Jeff Foxworthy joke here somewhere:

"You might be a redneck if ... you're named after a NASCAR track."

Before I make *any* important life decision — such as who should run the best country in the world — I ALWAYS like to know what Bristol Palin would do.

And not just because she managed to get herself knocked up out of wedlock by a total loser — but also because she DANCED on dancing with the doggone STARS!!!!

That’s gravitas with a capital G.

This what happens when emotions occlude logic and rational thought. Oh, and babies born out of wedlock too!

It’s a bit more newsworthy than usual when Sarah Palin shares the post on her Facebook page, which she has done.
