I love Sarah Palin and I love Ted Cruz, so it pains me to read this. Unless Cruz cleans up his act immediately (and that means getting control of his campaign aides and supporters), I'm done with him. In my view, a politician should never so much as mention his or her rivals for office, much less make disparaging remarks or personal attacks. Just inform the voters of your beliefs, values, principles, and plans, and leave it at that. The voters can compare the candidates' views and vote for the candidate whose views they most prefer. I guess what I'm saying is that politics doesn't have to be personal; it can (and should) be philosophical. The way to send this message is to withhold votes for those candidates who go negative. I'm about to withhold my vote from Cruz.
