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...

Actions have consequences. Always.

Supporting Donald Trump doesn’t mean you aren’t a conservative. Please cut this crap out.

[nickcarraway]

She was so great It’s sad she would sell out to the establishment like this.

If you support Hillary does it mean you aren’t a conservative?

[Bidimus1]

But it does mean you support some one that for the most part is not.

[diverteach]

Title should probably be more like “Palins fans who support Cruz say she’s being disingenuis”.

[dforest]

I would think, if anyone Palin knows that. The people who are flaming her should also keep that in mind.

Facebook is dopey amyway.

Yes, support for partial birth abortion is a bedrock Conservative position.

He is pro abortion. He is anything but a conservative."

He WAS pro-abortion -- 17 years ago. As was Ronald Reagan, 13 years before he was president and signed the right to abortion as California governor. Trump said he changed his views 8 or so years ago, as did Reagan.

I guess Reagan wasn't conservative enough for Ted Cruz and his supporters.

[VanDeKoik]

Those that refuse to submit to the warm loving embrace of Cruz will be punished severely!


Praise be! Amen!

Supporting Donald Trump doesn’t mean you aren’t a conservative. Please cut this crap out.

Yea, support for a Single Payer healthcare system paid for and governed by the Federal Government is also a bedrock conservative position, right?

[Artcore]

Cruz supporters are abject hypocrites!

You side with the Clintons in their upcoming document dump on Trump, but bring out your long knives for Palin!

Interesting who Cruz supporters go to for solace.

[Norm Lenhart]

Yea Farcebook is a sewer, but if she knew it, she either forgot it or made an intentional choice to alienate a good portion of her supporters. It is what it is.

He WAS pro-abortion -- 17 years ago. As was Ronald Reagan, 13 years before he was president and signed the right to abortion as California governor. Trump said he changed his views 8 or so years ago, as did Reagan.

He is still Pro-Abortion:

JANUARY 2015

First he states he is in support of Abortion for Rape, Incest and Health of the Mother.

Then Trump was asked about a abortion by a woman being pregnant, and not from rape or incest, and Trump answered that it depends on how far along the baby is.

“It depends when”

INTERVIEWER: “So say a woman is pregnant, and it is not in any of those exceptions [rape/incest]categories, and she chooses to have an abortion” TRUMP: “it depends when, it depends when”

LMAO! Preach it, brotha! :-)

I second that motion.

[rwilson99]

He IS in favor of Single Payer Health Insurance.

Right now... and in favor of massive ethanol subsidies.

[Sacajaweau]

The ONLY thing her support for Trump did was take supporting Cruz off the table.

I'm sure Cruz flamed when he heard this...despite what he said. But I could hear a few choice other words under his breath.
