Sarah Palin appeared on CNN this afternoon to explain why, despite endorsing him for Senate four years ago and being good friends with him, she dropped Ted Cruz for Donald Trump in the presidential election.
Tapper asked, "What tipped the scales?" Palin said, "It became a much less difficult decision once some inconsistencies started coming out about Cruz's position on amnesty, on building that wall and securing our jobs and our homes."
She even said Cruz would be "more of the same."

Well, then it must be Ted’s fault that both of his parents were married once before marrying each other and are now divorced. It’s also his fault that they were both drunks at one time. Such stupid logic some of you use. Never judge a person until you walk a mile in their shoes. Now, let’s talk about your family members and the skeletons in that closet, shall we? Her kids are adults and they make their own choices. I’m sick of you Cruzbots with your self-righteous, holier-than-thou attitudes who think Cruz is the Messiah. Shame on you!
You are basically a monkey who has been trained to type on a keyboard I think. You press the right buttons and you get a banana.
Sorry I should have framed it within Cruz’s position of power as a Senator.
Where are his wins as a Senator? You know, the reason Palin endorsed him for office? So he could change the power structure there?
Lotsa grandstanding. Lotsa talking. Lotsa even saying all the “right” conservative things.
No wins. But now Cruz pretends he didn’t know he was a Canadian citizen until a few months ago?
To my knowledge, Cruz didn’t blame that on Obama.
Oh his definition of consistency isn’t the only joke. His support of Trump using the state to attempt to take a woman’s property is downright hilarious.
Oh, God forbid that anyone should say anything negative about St. Teddy Bear, Soccer Ball, Canadian-born Cruz. It’s perfectly okay to trash all the other candidates though. Is thqat your logic? Pitiful!
While she sides with keeping ethanol subsidies and that tells me she has been bought out.
If Palin had run for President in 2012, you would have voted against her?
Bananas and monkeys? How clever!
No. Palin endorsed Cruz for Senate, but seeing what a disappointment the inexperienced junior Senator has been, she found a better candidate to endorse for President.
It’s really just that simple, we all have free will and her reasons are good enough for Rush.
She’s full of crap. Trump has been inconsistent on about every issue other than his support for socialized medicine, which he has consistently supported.
It’s one thing to grow and mature in one’s positions over the years and quite another to change them in the middle of a campaign.
Well, Obama is the President, and oversees the VA - so, if it’s in a shambles - yes, the buck stops there.
You guys need a software update to your conservatism.
It isn’t the Bush-era anymore. We got wise.
(Bush/Rove/GOPe funded Planned Parenthood for the full eight years)
Her track record was frightening enough to bring on the entire wrath of the RINOs and the Dems (the Uniparty).
Interesting how you have to qualify when I said nothing about gender.
Palin’s brand is history. She has lost all my respect, and I used to be one of her biggest fans.
Trump either paid her off, or is blackmailing her. I tend to believe it is the latter.
Good riddance......
You know what I think:
I think there are a bunch of people that work for Cruz sitting in a room with their computers, laptops, whatever, and they hit this site as fast and hard as they can...why else would people who have been zotted off here know about this site they go to....it's Cruz and they are getting paid to do it...
I don't listen to them...they aren't what you call stupid, but they know they will be paid by the Cruz campaign to do this just like Jeb! today paid people to sit in his whatever you want to call it and interrupted it so they could get their money...
She’s gone full clown. It’s been coming for a while. I used to love her. Now, she’s just a pathetic publicity hound.
