Did he think or hope that by slamming Trump for his speech and causing the Jan 6th “riot”; that the MSM would leave him alone?

Wrong again Cruz.

Could this be a much earlier planned vacation? He is on break from the congress right now and many folks I know go someplace warm for a week or two in the winter.

BUT all those who do not know just jumped on the band wagon of:

BALD AND BOLD FACED LIARS

Posting as if they actually know all of the details and plans.

For those of you who are indicating that Cruz is not a smart person I get this picture in my head of him being on a nice warm beach while you are sitting at home being very very clod.

Then you have an attack of stupidity and call him less than smart.

It seems to me that he is the smart one and that your IQ is in the low double digits.

“In other news, Biden pushes gun control and the unemployment rate is on the rise due to leftist policies, but”

It’s no longer leftist. It’s “far-leftist”

Just to let you know what you’re dealing with.

You’re welcome!

People who get upset when others try to live their lives because there is a crisis going on are virtue-signalling creeps.

Oh, stop. Just stop. Ted Cruz made a mistake, a big one.

When people in your state are freezing to death, literally, you don't run away for some fun and sun in Mexico. And, no, it doesn't matter when he booked the trip.

This is another self-inflicted wound. Sometimes the smartest guy in any room sure acts like an idiot. Either this or he's caught the swamp entitlement disease.

By “tone deaf”, do you mean “doing something the media may criticize you for”???

Give me a break. I thought we were past being afraid of the what the media thought. It isn’t 2004 anymore, friend.

Ted, stay safe and don’t worry about stupid people back here stretching to embarrass you.

He's already decided to fly back home. I believe they're all coming home tomorrow.

TX energy is not his job as a TX representative, got it. Glad he stays in his lane during a state emergency.

What could Ted do about it anyway?

Outages in Tx are down from 4.6 million to 0.5 million.

No federal interference is going to fix this. It’s up to the power companies and the state.

...and what exactly do you think an overweight Senator can do to help the situation?

Go on camera and cry about it? Would that help?

Well, at least Ted Cruz and his family are off the power grid for now. In a small, but measurable way, this leaves more power for the rest of us in Texas.

I was able to get to a place with power. Millions haven’t. And commercial/residential areas are being destroyed as we type by the hundreds all over. If you think this is a minor thing, it’s not.

That’s really it: you snooze you lose. Dems never let a good crisis go to waste. We’ve heard them brag about this for decades, yet it still hasn’t sunk in.

This is absurd. He has a family and vacations are a big deal to family. What is he going to do to fix this?

So you defense is he's useless anyway?

No wonder the GOP laughs at us if they aren’t even doing what they’re paid to do. This could swing Texas WAY to the left, it was inevitable anyway but 2022 could be very nasty.
