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."

Money, money, money, money .... money.
Or fact fact fact fact fact:
"And I'd like to make a final point to those advocacy groups that are very engaged in this issue and rightly concerned about addressing our immigration system, and in particular about addressing the situation for the 11 million who are currently in the shadows. If this amendment is adopted to the current bill the effect would be that those 11 million under this current bill would still be eligible for RPI status. [Registered Provisional Immigrant] They would still be eligible for legal status and indeed under the terms of the bill they would be eligible for LPR status as well [Lawful Permanent Resident], so that they are out of the shadows, which the proponents of this bill repeatedly point to as their principle objective -- to provide a legal status for those who are here illlegally to be out of the shadows. This amendment would allow that to happen.
And a second point to those advocacy groups that are so passionately engaged. In my view if this committee rejects this amendment, and I think everyone here views it as quite likely this committee will choose to reject this amendment, in my view that decision will make it much, much more likely that this entire bill will fail in the House of Representantives. I donââ¬â¢t want immigration reform to fail. I want immigration reform to pass, and so I would urge people of good faith on both sides of the aisle, if the objective is to pass common sense immigration reform that secures the borders, that improves legal immigration, and that allows those who are here illegally to come in out of the shadows, then we should look for areas of bipartisan agreement and compromise to come together and this amendment --I believe if this amendment were to pass the chances of this bill passing into law would increase dramatically, and so I would urge the committee to give it full consideration and to adopt the amendment."

Accusing Palin of selling her endorsement is pretty insane, by the way.
Just another fickle female!!! Very disappointing!!!
Now she’s lying. I said nothing about Palin until now but here she is fos.
Sarah, FYI, your candidate has flipped and flopped and done it again on just about every issue under the Sun. He should make beach sandals his official footwear.
Cruz has been the most consistent conservative in the Senate and in this race.
Are you insane?
“She Who Must Never Be Questioned” is the subject here.
Get your mind right. QUICK!
"What Mr. Cruz has tried to articulate in both word and deed is a middle ground. It got no support from Democrats in Washington, but it goes further than many on the far right want to go by offering leniency to undocumented immigrants here already... Asked about what to do with the people here illegally, however, he stressed that he had never tried to undo the goal of allowing them to stay. "The amendment that I introduced removed the path to citizenship, but it did not change the underlying work permit from the Gang of Eight," he said during a recent visit to El Paso. Mr. Cruz also noted that he had not called for deportation or, as Mitt Romney famously advocated, self-deportation." http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3372213/posts
Palin endorses TRUMP!!! because of Cruz’s inconsistencies??? What a load of crap. No credibility for Sarah.
Wonder what her price is?
Maybe that is Trump's plan to staff his cabinet with former reality TV personalities.
Just can't wait to see where you place Silas Robertson.
Sarah Palin is a joke.
Here is He who Must not be Questioned dodging direct questions about legalization:
CHUCK TODD: You still didn’t say what you’d do with the 11 million.
TED CRUZ: Well, my view is first, we secure the borders and solve the problem of illegal immigration. And then I think we can have a conversation about what to do about the people who remain here. I don’t think the American people will accept any solution until we demonstrate step number one, we can secure the border.
CHUCK TODD: So anything’s on the table? Potentially deportation or not deportation, but anything’s on the table for the 11 million—
TED CRUZ: I think we should secure the border and then have a conversation at that point. Stop using the Washington approach of I’ll gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today. The American people aren’t going for it.

Yes and so are you. But hell at least you two have convinced a vote for a New York liberal would be insanity.
Wonder what was Ted Cruz’s price from his donors in order to say stuff like this?:
“Texas Sen. Ted Cruz declined to close the door to a potential pathway to legal status for the 11 million people in the U.S. illegally Friday, saying he wouldn’t elaborate on his plans for them until after the border is secure.”

Rep. Steve King was ahead of me. Now tell me what a RINO he is.
Palin hits Cruz..... with her high-decibel screeching.
