Republicans need good senators and have suffered because those who were elected have enabled Obama to have eight years in office to reshape America into a socialist impoverished country. Ted Cruz and Marko Rubio have spent at least a full year on running their campaigns and undoubtedly a good part of their previous years in the senate preparing for this political Presidential campaign. Bob Dole resigned his senate office to run for president because he believed it unfair to neglect the job he was elected to do. Cruz and Rubio should now, at the very least, return to the full time work they were elected to do and for which they receive pay and benefits and retirement pay. Their recompense for govt employment is far and away beyond the paycheck most other Americans receive for their full time jobs. It seems that enough of our elected senators are spoiled rotten to the point of feeling free to neglect their duties to the citizens who voted for them. I will not vote for any candidate for senate without asking them if they are planning a run for another office.

I tend to agree with you.

Do we want to elect a politician who will stay in his elected job and work for us at least for one full term, or do we want to elect professional campaigners, always on the road soaking up the audience applause and accomplishing little back at the office except cashing their paycheck?
