It Was a 'Dark and Stormy Night' (for Cruz, the Media, and Hillary)

By Clarice Feldman

Cruz’s “Conscience”

Cruz played dog in the manger at the Republican convention. Someone should have whispered in his ear these words from Omar Khayyam:

 

" “The Moving Finger writes; and, having writ,

 

Moves on: nor all thy Piety nor Wit

 

Shall lure it back to cancel half a Line,

 

Nor all thy Tears wash out a Word of it.”

 

Some say his phrase “vote your conscience” was just a call to support the entire ticket. I don’t. I think the delegates who booed him had it right. As my friend JM Hanes observed:

 

"Vote your conscience" is a veritable NeverTrump theme song, so it seems entirely fair to construe it is asking folks not to vote for Trump, even if not actively soliciting votes for Hillary. Hence the need to remind folks of down ticket races, so the folks who abstain from the presidential vote won't just stay home.”
