Senators make laws, provide for the common defense, they don't shovel snow or repair power grids
Here’s what a U.S. senator does: Make laws, authorize and appropriate federal funds, provide for the common defense and the general welfare, regulate commerce among the states and with foreign nations, declare war and maintain and regulate the military, impeach federal officers including the president, advise and consent to treaties and appointments of judges and federal officials.
Cruz was seen boarding a plane and, with social media, the photos quickly went viral. What followed was the dumbest “scandal” ever.
The New York Times did some quality investigative reporting and penned a piece headlined: “Ted Cruz’s Cancún Trip: Family Texts Detail His Political Blunder.”
Text messages sent from Ms. Cruz to friends and Houston neighbors on Wednesday revealed a hastily planned trip. Their house was “FREEZING,” as Ms. Cruz put it — and she proposed a getaway until Sunday. Ms. Cruz invited others to join them at the Ritz-Carlton in Cancún, where they had stayed “many times,” noting the room price this week ($309 per night) and its good security. The text messages were provided to The New York Times and confirmed by a second person on the thread, who declined to be identified because of the private nature of the texts.
As the “scandal” was spiraling on Thursday, Cruz released a statement saying he had flown to Mexico “to be a good dad” and accompany his daughters and their friends. He also said he was flying back that afternoon.

He shouldn’t apologize or genuflect towards the hateful left. Tell them to piss off and say nothing else of it. His apology is nothing but a target for them to shoot at.
After this week I'm not so sure. But on the other hand Cornyn seems to be missing in action as well. For all we know he's on a beach in Hawaii.
Ahh, you do prove my point. Again.
What Exactly Is Ted Cruz Supposed To Do About A Snowstorm In His Home State?

Not go to Cancun, maybe
BTTT
Like Lyin Ted?
I’m in MA and our outside pipes are 30 inches underground,in Texas they are about 15 inches down.....big difference.
.
We used to live in a place where the water for the house came from springs. The elevation was 4500’ and it got down into the teens some winter nights. The pipes from the springs were on top of the ground and as long as we let them run the water did not freeze.
Most of the folks up there, emerald triangle, lived totally off the grid.
No problems at all as long as the water was running and moving it did not freeze.
It is not me with frozen pipes and no heat.
Reality makes a big point in this.
The issue I have there is what about quarantine for being outside of the United States? Why not just go to Florida? It’s warm in Florida now too, and Florida is still within the United States.
