In his holy acceptance speech for being the godly winner in the Iowa caucuses last night, GOP presidential nominee Ted Cruz quotes a verse from Psalm 30: “Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.” Is this meant to be proof of his divine mission, or is he trying to console the losers last night, promising them a better tomorrow?
In any case, this being a democracy, we all deserve the officials we vote into office. To borrow a page from Eugene O’Neill’s Electra playbook, when this is all over, I hope the electorate will also welcome whatever “joy cometh in the mourning.”
