I used to coach Little League, (I wonder if Obama even knows what that is). I used to tell my players, and then later to my two sons when they were growing up and playing sports when they were faced with a big game against a team that was vastly superior to them. invariably they would be down and depressed and of course scared to death about the match up before them.

I would say that, “In your life time the greatest experience of any is when you are about to play in a great contest, where you are not expected to win...maybe not even expected to show up. Where you are the underdog. Instead of being worried, anxious or afraid...you should know that those are times when you should be happy, excited and comforted because in such a situation you CANNOT lose. By first just showing up, when a weaker person wouldn’t, you win...BY playing your best and making it a close game....you win... but if by some chance you win...then you savor that for the rest of your lives.”

I think of Ted Cruz right now. He cannot lose by trying and fighting to the end. He will lose only if he quits or doesn’t try.

We should all pray for this man today. To give him strength to endure and persevere.

May the spirit of our Founding Fathers be in his blood and in his heart and speech. MAY THE SPIRIT OF JOHN QUINCY ADAMS BE WITH HIM WHEN HE SPEAKS.

GOD BLESS YOU, TED CRUZ!!!!!!!!!!
