For that, I will never vote for Sarah Palin for any office. I would hope that Reagan, seeing where the country is now, would be smart enough to at least withhold his endorsement. Perhaps if he had ran third party back then, we’d have a party who represents conservatives today.
It’s one thing to give up and say, “all we’re ever going to get is an R who’s a little bit worse than the Rat, so we’d better pull the lever every election.” I reject that. If Cruz won’t, then he’s part of the problem. His vote for McConnell, TPA, and the Corker bill tells me a lot.
So if someone pulled you out of a sea of 320 million people and made you the potential vice president of the United States, you wouldn’t at least give them a perfunctory endorsement the next time they ran for office, out of politeness and loyalty, if nothing else?
