What I said to a friend who switched her support from Rubio to Cruz

I received an e-mail from a friend who is concerned about the direction of our country.

At one point, she supported Marco Rubio in this campaign cycle, but has just switched her allegiance to Ted Cruz. She likes Cruz because he is a pro life Christian conservative.

For the record, so is Marco Rubio.

She opposes Trump, but now thinks Mr. Cruz is the best candidate. She asked what I thought. Here is how I replied:

Will the weather favor Trump or Cruz?

The great quarterback, Peyton Manning, isn’t so great when the weather gets cold.

His record is 0-5 in play-off games when the temperature at game time is 40 degrees or less.

I see a comparison with the upcoming Iowa caucuses. Donald Trump is a warm weather team; Ted Cruz has a cold weather team.

The politics of contempt

American politics has always been a rugged sport.

A particularly ugly strain of the sport has taken root at great cost to public discourse. I call it the politics of contempt.

Good news: Trump slips in Iowa

Ted Cruz has taken a slight lead over Donald Trump in Iowa.

This is good news, because Donald Trump would most likely get trumped by Hillary Clinton in a national election…

An NBC/WSJ poll shows Hillary beating the Donald by 10 points, fifty to forty.

However, the same poll shows her only beating Ted Cruz by 3 points, forty-eight to forty-five.
