Ted Cruz insulted Donald Trump supporters yesterday in an interview on the Christian Broadcasting Network.
Cruz thinks the Trump voters are stupid. Nice.
On Thursday Trump supporter Sarah Palin responded to the latest insults. Cruzs latest dig strays from humorous into downright nasty. ....snip....
From Sarah Palin: GOP Majority Voters in Primary are Wayyyyyy Beneath Cruz, So Says Cruz
http://www.foxnews./ /cruz-says-trump-backers-have-relat
Calling GOP frontrunner supporters "low information" disengaged voters, Ted Cruz's insinuation reeks of all the reasons America knows "the status quo has got to go." The arrogance of career politicians is something at which the rest of us chuckle, but Cruz's latest dig strays from humorous into downright nasty. Cruz is right, though - independent, America-first, commonsense conservatives supporting Donald Trump ARE "low information" when it comes to having any information on Cruz's ability to expand the conservative movement, beat Hillary Clinton, unify and lead the nation.
* Where's information on any Cruz success whilst in his short, half-term U.S. Senate seat, proving his resume's advantage over another career politicians's lawyerly executive inexperience that includes never having created a single private sector job, but boasting of his constitutional law teacher creds? (Remember America experimented with that resume before; how'd that work out for the country?)
* Where's info on his reasoning in inviting more illegal aliens to flood our porous borders by enticing families with benefits and literal gifts (like teddy bears and soccer balls)? http://theconservativetreehouse.com/

Trump: “We have a $50 billion trade deficit with Mexico. The wall will cost $10 billion. It’s not hard to figure out.”
How’s that?
Sarah carries a lot of weight with me. But since Trump arrived on the scene, I’ve wondered at what history might be between Cryz and Palin. It seems rather personal.
...says the low information voter who chooses candidates for the most important office based on their looks. Sheesh!
Biden might have gotten hair plugs but he's still a moron elected by morons.
That’s the point. You want the morons voting for OUR guy.
Without some of them, there’s no hope.
Even on this conservative forum I’ve seen dozens of posts referring to Cruz as odd looking. You can imagine how that is multiplied in the general population.
Very wrong. It is you who is acting ignorant or worse.
Let’s take health care as an example.
The simple truth is the federal government has no constitutional authority to be dictating our medical insurance or medical care. None. That thing called the constitution enumerates what is in the federal government’s realm of authority and everything else is expressly left to the states.
If you want to “fix” health care, get the federal government out of it. Instead Trump wants a new plan, a plan still dictated from the federal level. Remember that thing about how the 25% who “can’t pay” for their health insurance that he says the “government’s gonna pay for”? Remember that thing about how he’s going to require coverage of preexisting conditions? Well guess what, you can’t require coverage of preexisting conditions if you don’t force people to “buy” the insurance. Because if you don’t no one will buy it until the need care - and why would they. He says, after some “clarification”, he’s against the mandate but said preexisting conditions will be covered - a logical fallacy - oh but we’ll just ignore that.
The problem is you and Trump already accept as a premise the federal government’s involvement in our healthcare - and many other areas of our lives. Never mind the constitution. Just another flavor of big government top down management of our lives. It is destine to failure because it starts out on a false premise at the federal level.
Conservatives are supposed to be for smaller less intrusive government. Government that is constrained to its constitutional boundaries. Trump offers none of that.
Ooohhh, more condescending comments from the peanut gallery!
How about YOU go and feel self-righteous in the corner over there and I’ll stay on this side, hmm?
Is that an invitation or is that wanting to try to hurt me?
Sarah Palin is one of my biggest disappointments. Very saddened!
I suspect she is showing early signs of dementia.
Because if it’s an invitation, I will take a deep breath, attempt to quell my rancor, and answer as honestly as I am able.
Trump has ripped off the masks of the GOPe thugs, and now we know their true loyalty is to the open borders thugs not us.
No, Cruz has many friends on Wall Street thanks to his wife.
it’s your own statement with a name changed.. It fits.. Sorry you can’t handle it.
It was an invitation to address the issue instead of devolving into accusations.
It was clever when I did it.
When you copy me copying him, it is no longer ironic; it’s just silly.
So there. Nyah.
</immaturity mode>
All right, where do you want me to start?
Doesn’t matter how you spin it, Cruz insulted all Trump voters exactly like Obama insulted the bitter clingers.
And yes, I freely admit, you got me.
I suppose I shouldn’t post while seeing red.
Gov. Palin knows both Cruz and Trump. Basically no one who gets to know Cruz personally continues to like him. She may feel his recent Elmer Gantry style religious conversion is suspect, but I believe it is most likely Cruz and his family’s history with alcohol.
Both of Cruz’s parents were alcoholics when he was growing up. His sister died from alcoholism and drug abuse. Cruz has had his own well documented struggles with alcohol. He recently told Anderson Cooper that he was a “Scotch Man” before going on to extol the virtues of whiskey and other hard liquors.
Much of Cruz’s behavior and his appearance can be explained if one realizes that he is likely a high functioning alcoholic from a dysfunctional family.
I mentioned the Cruz was referring to voters who weren’t aware of Trump’s inconsistencies and you brought up Cruz’s inconsistencies. My point was that the magnitude of Trump’s position changes were much greater than Cruz’s. I understand that people can change, but it does bring into question how firm that change is and if they would change again. And yes, there is a legitimate question on any of Cruz’s changes.
