Heidi Cruz, wife of former republican candidate Ted Cruz, had an interesting way of comparing the presidential campaign experience. On a conference call with the campaign’s National Prayer Team, Heidi compared her husband’s campaign to the abolishment of slavery.
“I don’t want you to feel like any of this was in vain,” Heidi Cruz said. “I believe in the power of prayer. This doesn’t always happen on the timing of man, and God does not work in four-year segments. Be full of faith and so full of joy that this team was chosen to fight a long battle. Think that slavery — it took 25 years to defeat slavery. That is a lot longer than four years.”
While I get where Heidi was trying to go, I can’t help but to think the comparison is borderline ridiculous. The race for presidency and the abolishment of slavery are by no means similar, and if she’s comparing the amount of time it’ll take to get it done, I don’t know if we can fix America’s problems in 25 years and I doubt her husband is going to keep sticking it out for that long.
