Drawing a parallel between the long-term efforts of her husband's supporters and the fight to end slavery, Heidi Cruz said Tuesday that it took "a lot longer than four years" for the latter fight to be successful.
On a conference call with the campaign's National Prayer Team, Heidi Cruz portrayed Ted Cruz's presidential campaign, which ended a week ago, as one part of a broader journey similar to the abolition of slavery.
I dont want you to feel like any of this was in vain," Heidi Cruz said. "I believe in the power of prayer. This doesnt 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," she continued. "Think that slavery it took 25 years to defeat slavery. That is a lot longer than four years."

Please lead your followers out of America into whatever hell of a Promised Land you think you deserve! We'll let your people go!
(Freeing the slaves like Moses did? That's the only meaning from the coded talk I can discern)

(21,702 posts)The slavery struggle took so long because of the strangehold that racism and greed had on the government and the South, as opposed to Cruz's struggle to be president that is taking so long because everyone knows he is a complete and total nutbag. So the situations are a little different.

(12,601 posts)If Ted would just take the loss and go back to the Senate, where he collects his government-paid salary, then he wouldn't have the chance to make millions on speaking tours and book sales.
it's the "Palin strategy" -- quit your job to make more money. He could even have his own "TED Talks."
