He’s never going to get GOP nom and that image of him leaving is going to brand him forever. A shame, he’s a smart guy, but as they say, some of the smartest people out there lack common sense.

Too late, damage has already been done.

OAN just reported the mayor of Del Rio just asked for trucks of food and water because they have NONE, and Biden said NO! What he does have is busloads of Illegals on the way to dump in South Texas.

Right.. Then they will all cry when Cruz is replaced by an AOC type crazy leftist. And it will be the conservatives fault. Now everyone needs to use their heads and figure out who is really responsible for the mess in Texas. That is who needs to be attacked. But conservatives are stupid and they fall for this Alinski tactic every single time. It would be one thing if Cruz was actually responsible for what happened there. But I don’t think that he is.

It Ted loses an election over matters like this, it won’t be conservatives’ fault. It will be Ted’s fault for being so obtuse. Put the blame where it belongs.

Tell yourself that all you want. You are helping to form the public perception that a Democrat Liberal needs to control his seat. Even though Cruz did not create the mess down there. That makes your responsible, And guilty.

And for the record I have never been a great Cruz fan. I don’t hate the guy, but I don’t cherish him either. He seems wishy washy to me. But attacking on this scale for this is just wrong and foolish. The democrats are loving you for it though. They are really going to gain from it.

Its not great optics for him with his trip to cancun

However, its interesting the same media puts absolutely zero pressure on Biden and Harris having no response or aid or putting any blame whatsoever onto them and their lack of anything regarding this.

Same with Pelosi. Nothing in the house going on.

Biden and everyone on the left get a pass, only Cruz is targeted for any scrutiny.

The lid day “present resident” who’s,in bed by 7pm and unable to talk to world leaders, no press criticism on his non-handling of this ongoing event.

Even Lyn’ Ted realizes how much of an embarrassment he is and how big an error he made, from Breitbart: Lyn’ Ted is quoted “obviously a mistake”. Yes, just resign please.

You don't see liberals backbiting liberal politicians like this. Only conservatives do this - politicians and posters on forums.

“What is worse is people on the FR defending Lyn’ Ted.”

You’re a fag.

This is Mitt Romney level insensitivity at the least.

I for one am delighted to defend Senator Cruz:

1. He is a member of the federal legislature he has absolutely nothing to do with the administration of electricity in the state of Texas that being a state power under the control of the state electricity board.

2. In fact he used the levers of power at his command to alert the governor of the oncoming weather situation well before the storm hit.

3. In fact he used his avenues of communication throughout the state after the storm hit to respond to the emergency.

4. Texas is as big as the Northeast of the United States, his physical presence in one part requires him to be absent in another. In the digital age of communications he can even more efficiently communicate remotely than in person.

5. He left day 1, overnighted returned day 2. Hardly more than if he had slept through the night.

6. Those attacking Cruz here are consciously lending aid and support to the enemy by combining with leftists.

Those Trump supporters who reflexively hate Ted Cruz because Cruz was upset that Trump effectively accused Ted Cruz' father of murdering John F. Kennedy, might take a breath.

If the Senate was in Session, he'd be in DC.

In the meantime, Biden has gone into hiding again. This is his job....getting the National Guard out. They are always delivering and helping alleviate nasty situations.

Apparently Ted is the only politician and/or resident who left Town. Wanna bet??

Texas goes through hurricane disasters every year and people leave Town. Turn off and drain your water pipes and go...just like you've done in the past.

The left always circles the wagons for one of their own and defends them to the death where so many who CLAIM to be on our side rush to form a circle firing side, trying to kill someone who votes for what we want 99% of the time. The stupid is so painful to watch.

The fact that a seasoned politician was so obtuse as to not realize the backlash from this is astounding to me.

Coupled with the fact that he could have been made to stay out of the country for weeks if not months if he tested positive for Covid shows how out of touch he is. People have tested positive for weeks after getting the disease.
