I pray that he does.

Then in my humble opinion, your prayer is foolish. It discounts the importance of what Cruz is doing. It blows off successful conservative administrators like Mike Pence. The demonization from the left would divide the nation worse than it is while sharpening their shallow arguments against conservatives in mass media (and I want you to envision endless campaign ads and "news" reports (same thing) showing Cruz reading Dr. Suess on the Senate floor). Meanwhile we need his advocacy in the Senate to defeat the left in Congress, at which he has shown himself most able.

The left will demonize any Republican and/or conservative that threatens them. Cruz or Pence, it doesn’t matter to them. If they haven’t messed with Pence yet, it’s because he hasn’t emerged as a serious threat to them.

IMHO, we need something more than a competent administrator as president. That was Romney’s main (perhaps only) selling point.

What Romney couldn’t do was inspire people, he didn’t advance a discernible agenda, and he gave the voters no particular reason to trust him. Worst of all, he never acted like he really wanted the job.

And that’s why Obama got a second term.
