Perhaps you’re right about not getting too bogged down in past decisions of Bush, though it’s certainly appropriate for Republican contenders to get into past decisions of Obama, especially his decision to turn victory into defeat in Iraq (though maybe even that is dangerous territory, I’ll grant you, since no one wants to be perceived as advocating another big incursion into Iraq).
But to be fair, we are commenting here on an article and the article itself brought up the point.
It also brings up the comparison between Cruz and Reagan. I just don’t think it’s a good comparison. Reagan was governor of California and a key player in national politics going back at least 20 years before he became president in 1980.
Who compares to Reagan?
Well, in my mind, Palin and Cruz do.
Only one of them was a Governor, but my interest is in their essence, who they are in their hearts and how they apply their incredible personalities and political skills, and what they desire for our nation and humanity.
