It won’t be two years before FReepers are tearing trump apart.

They already do. Some list all the things he did wrong and because of it the swamp lives.

I'm laughing. This is just so stupid. We eat our own and wonder why we lose.

Perhaps you can share your laughter with Ted, because, I assure you he is not laughing... He would have been better off keeping his flapping tongue still... blaming ones children for hot Mexican beaches will not float for the average American.

By the way, do you have a clue how many Americans have been 'sharing' energy because of this freak of nature. I am in Missouri and Every energy has been shutting down power to neighborhoods in Kansas and Missouri ... NOT that we do not have enough energy but to 'share' the energy for states that were not prepared.

I was told today, of a young mother's power, in Johnson County, KS, (probably one of the most wealthy counties in the midwest) was shut off for 7 + hours, and she had to make arrangements for her child to be kept warm... She certainly did not have the option to take a vacation off to some hot Mexican beach.

People who think this is NO biggie, have no clue how many millions are suffering through this epic cold.

Because Hannity believes and keeps telling everyone that the little guys in the FBI and CIA are the absolute BEST there are!! I say BS if that were so WHY IN THE HELL haven’t one of them come forward with the utter corruption of the departments!!

"We eat our own and wonder why we lose."

We continually complain that the media is always out to attack conservatives and then we keep giving them ammunition, hand grenades, and bayonets.

There is not a single post on FR that will cause more damage to Cruz than Cruz's own handling of this matter.

Good video. Nice interview by Sean Hannity, one of his best ones lately.

It's 22 degrees outside. My heat is at 62 during the day and 56 at night. I'm cold most of the time. It's even worse when we lose power. Be careful when you make assumptions.

You choose:

1. Getting your wife and kids out of a potentially-life-threatening situation; or
2. Not getting your wife and kids out of said situation because the MSM, Democrats, liberals, and lefties will scream bloody murder, thereby affecting your reelection chances next time around.

He chose the former - he should never, ever apologize to the cancel culture for that.


It’s not cancel culture. It’s logic. How about just sending the wife and kids, or how about not going on Hannity to give them more ammo with “I Planned to Stay in Cancun ‘Through the Weekend’ But I Had ‘Second Thoughts Almost Immediately’.

Way to stomp on your own crank genius. As if the media needed ammo

His critics are moral pretenders. They are not trying to help me or my family here in Texas.

What's wrong with you?!@ You lost electric, your main concern should be if Ted Cruz cares. They are trying to help you. You have warped priorities. /sarc

We have a dementia addled old fool in the WH because of a stolen election. His VP is vicious and running things....but Cruz getting his family out of a 30 degree house and going to Cancun is the crime of the century. Is FR really the Twilight Zone? Apparently.
Adieu

Something is very wrong when a conservative forum is filled with people siding with liberals and dems in attacking one of our better senators who actually stood up to election fraud. Cruz is also a solid pro-life vote.

The left wants to destroy Cruz and a lot of folks here are eager to help them. What they fail to realize is that this is EXACTLY what has given us a Dem takeover.

We should be circling the wagons. Cruz did not get in a sex scandal. He did not commit a crime. Let him decide how he wants to spend his time and money, and how he raises and co-parents his kids.

A lot of people just don’t like Cruz. It’s a gut-feeling, and it’s largely because of how he has presented his own self.

Go figure.

This has become the Twilight Zone. There are so many important things threatening our freedom and country and people like you are upset that Cruz got his family out of a 30 degree house and went to Cancun. I didn’t think there were so many Democrats in sheeps clothing on FR. My mistake. Goodnight.

We had a 'heat' wave today, got to around 20 something... Barely hit 10 degrees if that, during the day this past week. Nights, zero or lower ... wind chill much lower ...

This past Saturday, my neighborhood and extended area lost power, due to a fire at a substation .. No power for nearly 10 hours, not sure we made it to 10 degrees, that day, as I have stopped keeping track of how cold it actually is. I found out that I could still start a fire and produce enough heat to function.

As a general 'rule' making assumptions is NOT one of my faults.. It is about 17 degrees here right now, and I am most fortunate to have power.

Don’t you think Ted has been of a bit of a hypocrite going after the mayor of Austin and Chris Christie for taking vacations during the Covid-19 crisis?

I do agree with you that it’s definitely not a major issue compared to what is going on in Texas. But, it really has opened him up to criticism that could have been avoided if he wasn’t thinking about himself.

If you’d actually read my post 19, you’d see that I am NOT ‘upset’ about it. I see no reason for demonizing Cruz for getting away with his family for a few days in the current circumstance.

(The fact that I just don’t like the guy and don’t think he’s ‘Presidential Material’ is entirely beside that point.)

Something is very wrong when a conservative forum is filled with people screeching that government (Ted Cruz) must be do something, just do anything.

So many have drunk the left’s koolaid and now are ideological soulmates and spouting the opposite of what Reagan said so many times: The nine most terrifying words in the English language: “I’m from the government, and I’m here to help.”

His darn kids, demanding a hot Mexican beach, really got him in trouble.
