Washington (CNN)Sarah Palin told CNN's Jake Tapper on Monday that she took issue with recent mailers distributed by Ted Cruz's campaign to "shame" Iowa voters into caucusing, adding that it "wasn't a tough decision" to back Donald Trump over the Texas senator.

Like Sarah, but given the antics of her offspring, she is uniquely unqualified to be hectoring anyone about shaming.

Did I miss something? Because as far as I know that never happened.

Yes, you missed it where Cruz tried to defund Obamacare and stopped Rubio and Schumer's amnesty deal. He has been on the frontlines in almost every battle against this corrupt, POS administration.

That's why Palin endorsed Trump. She busted her @ss getting Cruz over the top into the Senate, Cruz was losing against Dewhurst, and just 2 years later he decides to run for President. He was very effective in the Senate fighting the GOP establishment.

That's why Mike Lee won't endorse him, and why most conservatives are distancing themselves against him. Cruz is arrogant and conceited and thinks his crap doesn't stink.

Yep. Not a few people in Texas are pissed, too.
Cruz used Sarah & he used the people of Texas to pursue his ambition to run for president. He didn’t even have the decency to serve a full term first. He just walked right over our necks & kept on going. AND he lied to us (by omission) on multiple counts in the process.

I’m assuming the comment that he was ‘’very effective’’ is snark.

No, I saw when cruz read Dr. Suess on the senate foor, when he voted for the corker bill and when he fought to pass TPA. I also see who has and is funding his campaigns. Crus is GOPe.

Track and Bristol Palin are grown adults. They’re not “kids” anymore.

Everything Cruz has said about Trump is objectively true. Almost everything Trump is saying about Cruz is a lie.

I said "almost" every battle. I'm aware of Cruz's support for Obamatrade. But he still has been very effective at speaking out against the Obama administration.

“Everything Cruz has said about Trump is objectively true. Almost everything Trump is saying about Cruz is a lie.”

And people have an issue with Cruz doing it, but are ok with Trump doing it because he’s been doing it from the beginning? What a great reason to support someone for President. SMDH

Do you have any experience with PTSD? That was a snide comment as for many military with PTSD psychiatrists are not able to help much.

Official appearing mail stating VIOLATION happens all the time right. Especially when it names neighbors personal info too. /s

No personal info. Public information.

As for “violation,” eh, it just means they have not been voting. In a republic, people need to participate. Why do local governments print the names of delinquent real estate taxpayers or court records and things like that?

I would not have chosen those mailers. Neither will I paint them as something other than they are. I have personally receive a boatload of various mailings and phone calls. The oppositions ALWAYS tries to turn the other guy’s mailings or phone calls into a scandal. I find the scandal hunters much more obnoxious than the mailings or phone calls themselves.

My point again is no other mailer I have seen from any organization was as tacky.

I know it doesn’t cause beating up women.

I also know Obama had nothing to do with it, why did she imply the care he got was to blame. She has millions, why didn’t she spend it on doctors??

Pretty low to try and blame the veterans dept when they had nothing to do with a guy beating up a woman.

A conservative takes personal responsibility......

I think I have received a mailer very similar. It is hard to remember exactly since I pay very little attention to any of that except to note the interest group endorsements. If I know a candidate is a liberal “republican” then I take note of who endorsed him. All those who aid the bum loose status with me.

I sometimes take my Right To Life endorsement mailer to the voting booth with me, along with a printout of my ballot. I circle who I am going to vote for and am all prepared before I get there.

I don’t care one iota about 99% of the mailers or phone calls. RTL and Family Research Council and those sorts of organizations I consider. Also Americans for Prosperity gets my attention. But I choose according to my own priorities. Mailers are a non-issue.

Seem not to know much as you have no idea that some with PTSD react with violence or irrational behavior under stress. You a doctor or just someone who hates Palin?

They got pregnant while preaching abstinence? Never mind a guy punching a woman in the face.

The Palin's have their problems like most families. The difference is, given the actions of her offspring, she probably shouldn't be lecturing others about shameful behavior. Rocks and glass houses being what they are n'all....

Cruz, the guy who wrote Bush’s open borders Immigration policies to be implemented during wartime?

Guess you didn’t get the message Cruz pretended he didn’t know he was a Canadian citizen until a few months ago...
