Heidi Cruz is the high-powered political spouse we've rarely seen since Hillary Clinton
Washington Post ^ | 1/8/16 | Katie Zezima

Posted on 01/08/2016 6:20:03 PM PST by jimbo123

When Heidi and Ted Cruz came to the Atlanta suburbs to campaign a few weeks ago, she perfectly played the role of political spouse: a loving gaze for her husband as he spoke, hands on the shoulders of their two daughters, beaming smiles for supporters.

A few days earlier during a solo swing through Missouri, Heidi Cruz made clear that her other identity - hard-charging career woman with ambitions of her own - was never far from her mind.

"I want to tell you, I did take a leave of absence from work," she told her audience, standing among shiny motorcycles on the sales floor of a Harley-Davidson dealership. "I wouldn't have given up my job and the time with my girls if I did not really believe in my heart that Ted Cruz would win this election."

-snip-

But the more apt comparison for Heidi Cruz may be Hillary Clinton. Since Clinton's years as a campaign partner and first lady, few political spouses have redirected their own ambitions to the degree that Heidi Cruz has this cycle. And few since Clinton, now trying to follow her husband into the White House, have demonstrated as Heidi Cruz has the kind of political talent and experience of her own to prompt speculation among those who hear her speak that she, too, could some day be a formidable candidate.

“I support the Task Force report and its recommendations aimed at building a safer and more prosperous North America. Economic prosperity and a world safe from terrorism and other security threats are no doubt inextricably linked.” -Heidi Cruz, Building a North American Community, Council on Foreign Relations

I would like to learn more about her, if she’s ready for her close-up. Sometimes Alpha get along with other Alpha personalities. They usually chose their fiefdom and keep it that way as long as successful. I presume she is the Money Czar of the family, while he may be the Faith&Education Czar.

Especially when you remove the borders, language, cultures, currency and eventually sovereignty.

There's the key to victory.

Just bring Heidi out front and center and say she'll be the next Hillary Clinton.

As far as I can tell, someone discovered that Heidi Cruz helped write the "Building a North American Commmunity" paper that had people all hyped-up about ten years ago.

And that's the sinister thing about the CFR . . . they publish a paper, and nothing happens. It's all part of the plan.
