You realize if Cruz runs, he will have served in the Senate the same amount of time that Palin was Governor.
So it’s OK for Cruz to be a “quitter” but not Palin?

If I recall correctly, she didn't win the election sending her to Washington resulting in her having to quit as governor. She/McCain lost, but she quit her governorship anyhow because the media turned up the heat...and she got out of the kitchen.

In a word, yes. Being elected to higher office is different from quitting to work for Fox News and sign books at the Mall of America.

Before anyone tells me that she “had” to quit because of lawsuits, allow me to say that if you can’t work your way out of a local issue, how much promise can you have on the national stage? Not much, in my estimation.

Russia, Iraq, Iran, the economy, the enemies of Israel? On a good day, any or all of those are more dangerous and complicated than being sued.

I am slowly warming to Ted Cruz, and admire the fact that he knows both sides don’t like him and make it hard for him, and yet he persevers.

Perseverance in the face of adversity is a rare and valuable trait.
