Palins son arrested as she spoke yesterday for domestic violence.
Who knows what caused him to become an alleged abuser but It seems best form to leave the children out of the politics of their parents unless they are more than just a photo prop on the campaign trail.

"I think it’d be a blow to Sarah Palin, because Sarah Palin has been a champion for the conservative cause, and if she was going to endorse Donald Trump, sadly, she would be endorsing someone who’s held progressive views all their life on the sanctity of life, on marriage, on partial-birth abortion," Cruz spokesman Rick Tyler said on CNN's New Day.
That didn't sit well with a certain member of the Palin family. Daughter Bristol Palin made clear on Tuesday what she hoped her mom would do in a blog post titled "Is THIS Why People Don’t like Cruz?" She wrote that she liked Cruz and believed all of the candidates were better choices than Hillary Clinton. However, she added, "after hearing what Cruz is now saying about my mom, in a negative knee-jerk reaction, makes me hope my mom does endorse Trump." She also noted that her mom supported Cruz in the past and blasted him for "turning against my mom."
Bristol Palin's broadside against Cruz seemed to be based on Tyler's comments on CNN, not anything said by the Texas senator. In fact, Cruz himself was more conciliatory in a tweet Tuesday, saying he would not have won his 2012 Senate race without Sarah Palin's backing and that he "will always be a big fan."
