Cruz is a US Senator. He has no authority or authorization to get involved in state actions.
He has no power, no authority to intervene. He could go to the floor of the Senate and make a speech.
The governor and his staff and the power company are responsible.
I do not want Cruz wandering around the state of Texas, knocking on doors and such, as this would rightly be seen as a blatant political ploy, politicization of the problem.
Robert is a shame, failed political hack trying to grab some press.
Robert wasn’t recruited by ANY Texas university, so he approached my university (Texas State), offered his services as an unpaid adjunct political science teacher (not a professor). He’s a guy with just a B.Sci. in English Lit to teach university political science. Wow.
He was “hired” but will bnever be alone in the class, he will alweays have a full-time instructor over-seeing his actibities.
And Yahoo. . .up to their usual lying: “who have INACCURATELY placed most of the blame for the power failures on Texas’ renewable energy sources.”
25% of the Texas grid is powered by wind turbines, most all built in China and spare parts from there as well. So, they DID freeze and dropped power generation by a quarter and our grid was overwhelmed. Spare parts to repair fractured composites and tubing necessary for hydraulics circulation. . .China is back ordered with other customers in the world, so when China will deliver spares to repair what is broken? Who know. . .

Please see Post 61.
Beto "making all those calls" is no different that some politician or celeb/athlete standing at a soup kitchen for 5 minutes for a photo op. Nothing but posing. Ted should claim he called 200,000 people.
Yes, we know all about “community organizing.” It’s not what people think it is.
Please see Post 61. There is nothing he could do just get in the way.
Reference this cold/power situation. . .how exactly did he shoot himself in the foot?
Please see Post 61.
Best post. Well stated!!
Yeah , right . Where’s the proof that Beto has done squat ?
“I do not want Cruz wandering around the state of Texas,...”
No one wants to see any Texan with money and power skipping town to the Mexico beaches.
No one except the left. The leftist Media and any Beto beta male will poster boy this until Cruz is long gone out of politics until he bashes Trump daily.
“What is the solution for Cruz’s lack of political sensitivity? Oh, I know, a democrat senator for Texas would make things much better.”
Bundled up and wandering in the cold. . .an obvious and blatant political ploy and posturing. Imagine the media and dem (one and the same) howling if he did the same thing Robert did.
“But we hear nothing from Biden. “
Not true. He was playing Mario Cart with his grand kids.
And do what?
He is a US Senator with no authority to dispatch state resources and direct the actions of state employees, agencies and resources.
Post 61, Please.
“Beto is a leader. Ted is not. Beto’s actions show this.”
In before the ZOT!
Beto’s many things. A fool. A failure. A grandstander. A gun grabber.
Not a leader.
Going after someone that has no authority to contrail state employees, budgets, priorities, agencies. . .those people need a refresher in basic US government and why we have states.
I’ll second your IBTZ.
Well stated. Great post.
Any Texan with dough seen skipping town, let alone a prominent republican politician, will be made notorious over such a thing.
We have been freezing here. Most of My friends Have had no running water. 400 k neighborhoods. The biggest And best hospital in town is without running water.
Cruz can’t be seen being political so he’s not going to assist?
Do you know what it’s like to spend three nights in an apartment in sub freezing weather with no husband and a baby?
That’s what we’re about to find out. The phot of Cruz skipping town will be juxtaposed on that right or wrong
He is tone deaf.
I think you just insulted MORONS! LOL
