“Palin is done and out of the game. Now it looks like it’s Ted’s turn.”
Palin is done because of her own lack of strength of character and determination. Who forced her to quit as Alaska governor? Who stopped her from running for President in 2012?
Ted Cruz and his wife Heidi aren’t going away so easily. Heidi Cruz took an unpaid leave of absence from her Goldman Sachs Managing Director job to back her husband’s campaign, and she doesn’t have a track record of making losing investments.
Ted is another mound of money to be made, to her? I hope you had a higher view.
Palin bowed out for one simple reason. The lack of strength and character of her base.
I fought the PDS wars. I watched her so called supporters go fully liberal and attack her personally, attack her kids and throw her aside for the staunch conservative, Mitt Romney and a host of RINOs before the primary even came close to beginning. So don’t tell me about anyone’s ‘strength of character’.
As a scheme, it's a little twisted, like leaving a loaded gun in the hands of a 5 year old or giving a 15 year old who's never driven a car a brand new Z-28 with 500 hp, but the end result is the same.
Had she waited until she had finished her term and had more time and success on the job, she would have been extremely formidable. Not good for the PTBs. Her charisma was potent!
I think "they" used her ego against her by offering her something her ego couldn't refuse before she was ready for it and she's wired in such a way she could NOT pass that up when she should have.
The rest of her story is history and so seemingly is she in American politics.
To me, I get the sense that a similar ploy is being used against young Mr. Cruz.
And, if all that is true, by drawing attention to this possibility, as he is at this time, it's easy to see Trump as purposefully coming to the timely rescue of a lot of people, including young Mr. Cruz, before real damage is done.
Setting his persona aside for a second, Trump seems to have a better view of things than pretty much everyone else, so I think I'll just mentally place my bets and wait and see what happens next.
The last time I got schooled, "Always choose Black" was an eye and heart opening truth I learned the hard way. I think I'll do better the next time I play, but then, that would be cheating.
