As we wait to see if today’s mystery guest for Donald Trump in Iowa is indeed Sarah Palin, Palin did just link to a blog post by her daughter where Bristol goes after Ted Cruz’s campaign for slamming her mom:
Is THIS Why People Don’t like Cruz? https://t.co/Qv3iih071S
— Sarah Palin (@SarahPalinUSA) January 19, 2016
Some excerpts:
Is my Mom going to endorse Donald Trump for President of the United States?
That’s the rumor, and I’ve been too busy with diapers to delve too much into politics these days. But the rumors were enough to cause staffers from Ted Cruz’s office to slam my mom.
And:
After hearing what Cruz is now saying about my mom, in a negative knee-jerk reaction, makes me hope my mom does endorse Trump. Cruz’s flip-flop, turning against my mom who’s done nothing but support and help him when others sure didn’t, shows he’s a typical politician. How rude to that he’s setting up a false narrative about her!
America doesn’t need that. We need someone who has a vision for economic prosperity, who won’t let us get kicked around in the world, and who will fight for our future.
Bristol Palin is responding to Cruz’s spokesman who said that her endorsement of Trump would hurt her, not Cruz:

Trump won't say if it's Sarah Palin but said he's a big fan of hers.

If there's 1 person that can give Trump the "conserv bonafides" nod… it's #Palin. She has huge Tea Party /grassroolts/evangelicals support

Sarah Palin is free to endorse Trump. But in doing so you might as well rip up the Constitution and throw it out the window when you do.

Palin has been a big supporter of Cruz in the past, and we can see why he’s disappointed not to get her support this year:
