Cruz has said he stands with the clerk unequivocally.
And today Cruz is in Texas and the clerk is in jail.
What’s he supposed to do? Take his bacon wrapped rifle and bust her out?
Ted Cruz is not going to get her out of jail.
I’d agree it would be a nice touch for him to go there and visit her or support her. I hope he does that actually.
What I’m not going to do is criticize him because he didn’t drop whatever else he had to do in order to book it to Kentucky today.
I wouldn’t criticize any of the candidates for that. And to be honest, if certain candidates (Jeb, Lindsey Graham, heck maybe even Rand Paul) made a special effort to do that even several of us here would probably look at it as pandering.
