No one I know gives a damn what any politician feels or thinks that can’t directly help them. You really don’t get if you think all the people with out electric or water are worrying about that right now. They don’t.
Well then perhaps Cruz ought to get busy doing things to directly help his constituents.
1. Has Cruz conducted any coordination with the Governor of Texas or Texas State agencies asking if he could provide any intervention on behalf of the state he is supposed to be representing in DC?
2. Has Cruz spoken to any of the Texas House delegation to get a better understanding of specific issues in their respective districts so he has a more comprehensive understanding of the problems impacting different parts of the state so he can better represent the state as a whole?
3. Has Cruz made any written or telephonic inquiries to the White House or FEMA regarding what appears to be their complete inaction?
4. Has Cruz sought any national media outlet so he can discuss the problems in Texas and apparent inactions, delays or obstacles for assistance that have been put in place by the executive branch?
5. Has Cruz volunteered to offer any time with any relief agencies? We know damn well in the past he was able to go to the border to distribute teddy bears and soccer balls to Mexican kids. Perhaps he could find some time to hand out blankets or serve soup to American kids in Texas.
The office of a United States Senator, while technically a legislative (and oversight) position, has the ability to exert a lot of influence on officials at the state and local levels.
The only thing Cruz has managed to accomplish so far in this fiasco is to star in campaign ads for his 2024 opponent, when he could have been burnishing his own ads and actually helping the people of the State he was elected to serve.
