Ted Cruz’s Wife, Heidi, Compares His Presidential Run to the Battle to End Slavery

Rough couple of weeks for Heidi Cruz, eh?

Ted Cruz ended his bid for the Republican Presidential nomination last week, finally bowing out of a race that was all but decided weeks ago, when Donald Trump emerged victorious from a large portion of the significant primaries and caucuses. After Cruz made his formal withdrawal announcement to a room full of fans and supporters, he elbowed his wife twice in the head during an unfortunate attempt to gather those on stage with him in a group hug.

Today, however, Heidi was not blindsided by the elbow of her failed candidate husband. She instead compared her failed candidate husband’s run at the presidency to the decades-long fight to abolish slavery in America. Those words came out of her mouth, according to the Texas Tribune, during a conference call with Cruz’s national prayer team today.

I don’t want you to feel like any of this was in vain. 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.

Wait for it…

Be full of faith and so full of joy that this team was chosen to fight a long battle… It took 25 years to defeat slavery. That is a lot longer than four years.

Oh, Heidi. Was that the only politically-related battle you could drum up? One pales so much in comparison to the other, it’s not even funny.
