A conservative politician knows when he or she has arrived when someone in the mainstream media has consigned him or her prematurely to the dustbin of history. Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, has joined those dubious ranks, thanks to some media reports, including a January 17, 2014 article in Salon.

Ronald Reagan was thought to have had his last hurrah in 1976 when he failed to take away the Republican nomination from then President Gerald Ford.

Of course Reagan was elected twice to the presidency and, thanks to the Cold War victory he engineered, has since become a world historic figure, on par with Lincoln or Washington.

Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin has been written off by the mainstream media so many times, only to persist in confounding her enemies, that she seems like one of those immortals in the movie and TV series “Highlander,” to be cut down, only to rise again innumerable times.
