Actually, the fact that Ron chose to run at all, even with loudly voiced objections from some in the Party, is one of the reasons I liked him. I liked the boldness and the decisiveness.

This is America, where no republican should have to place all their faith in the antiquated tradition of ‘waiting your turn’. That didn’t work out very well for Bob Dole, and with Dole, everyone in the party knew from the very beginning that his campaign wouldn’t be any more than a dud.
. Dud = A person or thing that is ineffectual or a failure.
. Dud = A missile that fails to explode after being fired.

In national politics, you need to stake your claim on the future of this country and describe your place in that future. No republican has to limit their ambition to proverbially shining Donald Trump’s shoes or polishing another one of his rings.
Those don’t sound like expectations of a merit based society to me.

If Ron does not secure the nomination this go round, so be it, but it is his right to try. He owes it to no one to conceal his ambition.

Commitment should come before self ambition.
