“Cruz’s broken pledge to support the will of the people tonight was one of those career-ending ‘read my lips’ moments,'” Palin wrote. “I guarantee American voters took notice and felt more unsettling confirmation as to why we don’t much like typical politicians because they campaign one way, but act out another way. That kind of political status quo has got to go because it got us into the mess we’re in with America’s bankrupt budgets and ramped up security threats.” (RELATED: Sarah Palin Goes On Rant About Trump-Ryan Meeting, Accuses GOP Of Helping ‘Transform America’)
“It’s commonplace for politicians to disbelieve their word is their bond, as evidenced by Cruz breaking his promise to endorse his party’s nominee, evidently thinking whilst on the convention stage, ‘At this point, what difference does it make,'” she added. We’ve been burned so horribly by that attitude that voters won’t reward politicians pulling that ‘what difference does it make’ stunt again. Politicians will see — it makes all the difference in the world to us.”
