Ted Cruz has been pictured jetting off to Cancun while millions in Texas remain without power, heat or water amid a devastating winter storm.

Not surprised. Just like Chicago!
You mean like putting your political ambitions over any concerns for your family’s well being? I guess if you ever evacuated your family during a hurricane or flood you can kiss off that political career.
If you live in Texas you’d do a lot more good by helping your neighbors than worrying about the next election.
That isn’t what he was doing. His daughters wanted to jet off to Cancun.
If he wanted to evacuate he could have gone anywhere in the US. Stayed in the country. Wouldn’t face quarantine issues for reentry. He has to have a negative covid test.
Amen
Plenty of people are born here of citizen parents and are natural born citizens as the founders required.
And what is he suppose to do? Would cancelling a planned vacation return warm weather and power?
Looks like Ted figured out that we “low IQ types” were correct:

Talk about shutting the door after the horse left the barn. But hey, nothing he could do any way at all except go on vacation...
Exactly. Cruz is a US senator. The founders envisioned US senators as being the state's representative in Washington.
Cruz's JOB is to coordinate between the federal and state governments. That includes pounding the table to get FEMA help to Texas.
Instead, he went on vacation.
Gotta start destroying any potential Republican candidate now. Saint Joe the Chomo must not be challenged. Next up. Rand Paul eats ketchup with his steak and Ron DeSantis shamelessly has two scoops of ice cream.
Not good. And believe me, he also gave the Dems something to use against him and probably the entire GOP, as well as knock Cuomo out of the news. They’re already using it.
Jealousy of others’ wealth is a characteristic of the socialist left.
Yup . We’re taking care of ourselves and staying in contact with neighbors . There’s nothing he can do for us that we can’t do for ourselves .
There are currently two threads on this subject and many comments support your position. But what I don’t see are many comments about Biden just ordering FEMA assistance today or any comments on how Governor Abbot is responding. My point is that worrying about what the optics are just creates more fake and phony virtue signaling politicians.
If you do live in Texas, I hope you and your neighbors are getting through these tough times as best as you can.
Much Ado about Nothing....
I’m shocked at how many morons think Cruz is somehow involved with Texas state politics.
Do you understand leadership? Perception?
How are voters going to respond to him during the reelection?
Let me say this, I have seen people fired for much less. They couldn’t fix much, and left he plant/office in the middle of a disaster.
The reason conservatives struggle is we don’t realize perception is as much of a thing as acting. The perception is that Cruz does not care that hospitals in Austin don’t have water and are pooping into bags.
That WILL bite him.
That's Faulkner. ;)
Who cares....
What was Ted to do, shovel little old ladies sidewalks?
Bigger issue is how an oil rich state like Texas is dependent on wind turbines...
And enough of the “freezing”, it was 19 degrees today when I shoved off to work again today. It’s frigging winter ya know.
