What? Ted Cruz thinks we should rule out ground troops to fight ISIS?
I'm looking for a president who puts that ahead of political concerns. I'm still hoping Ted Cruz is one of the options who would qualify, this disappointing-sounding statement notwithstanding.
I am generally a fan of Ted Cruz, and I don't get too concerned when I hear the heroes of the political class complaining that he doesn't work with them well. They're not working toward anything good, so if Cruz wants to become a headache for them, I say good work. But if he wants to be president (and I'll consider that an if until he says he does), the instinct he shows in the following statement about ISIS is troubling.
