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.

“What Exactly Is Ted Cruz Supposed To Do About A Snowstorm In His Home State?”
One option was to sit back and read a novel, if not at home (because it’s cold), then at a friend’s house. No one would have known, no one would have cared.
Instead he just sent the Republican image back to what it was before Trump - a bunch of arrogant, selfish, SOBs (even if it wasn’t true, that was the perception by half of the country).
Really smart, Ted.
It is a liberal mindset that they are all small gods and can affect any situation by their mere presence.
Now, take that flaming bunny, and project that onto anyone, in this case Sen. Cruz, and begin the tirade why he hasn’t done “blank”.
“Changing the subject from failed “renewable energy”
Don’t forget its also an attempt to distract from cuomo killing old folks in ny.
In the mind of the Libtard media what Cruz did is every bit as horrible as what cuomo did.
Nobody has said ‘crime’. Just inept stupidity or something. It’s almost like he’s trying to get TX to go blue faster.
He’s supposed to have press conference and posture about how is interfering with local authorities trying to get things done.
One of the things I find so interesting about this and then during the whole time of President Trump’s term.
First question to the Left and the media......Who is responsible for ANYTHING?
When President Trump wanted to do something, the Left/Media/Liberal State Admins said...Stay away, it’s a state matter.
When they needed help due to their incompetence and indifference and knew they were in over their heads, they cried for help(California, always). When that happened, everything was the fault of the federal government and the federal government had to fix everything. But, once it was fixed, the federal government had to leave.
So, what is a US Senator to do, when Texas has a Governor, Lt Governor, County commissions, city councils, public and private sector workers working on things? Is anything that has happened or will happen in Texas the responsibility of a US Senator?
Anything for a headline, I guess. Anything to distract from the increasing evidence that this is yet, another, Green Energy boondoggle that they want to ignore and bury.
I said yesterday, if had been a long planned vacation, then you owe it to your family to not cancel. At least not them. But you just don’t abandon your constituents to a natural disaster and sip umbrella drinks at the last minute, because you can.
If you do, then have the brass ones to stand up for your decision.

And the CruzBots need to get over it. Trump beat your Canadian like a drum. And, the back stabber sealed his fate with the interview where he blamed Trump for Jan. 6.
Lyin Ted
Might as well be hanging out at one of the other social-media cesspools.
Cruz only beat the nightmare by 2.5%. Don’t forget that. It’s getting real close, and this crap doesn’t help. Not to mention his history of TDS.
More importantly what DID John Cornyn do?
The fact that he truly does want to be President despite the fact that he is not a natural born citizen means I will never trust Ted Cruz.
He as born in Canada to a Cuban father.
If he is a natural born citizen so are Anwar al-Awlaki’s kids, born in Yemen to one citizen parent.
So would Winston Churchill, who also had an American mother and was granted “honorary” citizenship by Congress.
All children born outside the US have a file that describes how and when they acquired citizenship, we need to see his.
We know he gave up his Canadian citizenship in 2014.
Exactly what is Ted Cruz supposed to do when electric power goes down in some places in Texas?
Is he the one in charge of electric power in Texas?
Not go to Cancun
The first thing he should have done is get to hell up on top of a pickup bed and scream like hell about how pig face Biden and his ho aint doing a GD thing for the people in that area.
People need heroes. They need heroes at a time like this in Texas. They need leaders to be heroes that’s what leaders are expected to be, em what we hire them for
Hero not in a superhero sense but in the real sense of the word. Someone to follow for good reason
Could we all do what he did? Run away to the tropics with our family? Leaving the help behind to take care of the pets?
It was an ugly scene. It will stick in our minds. The opposite of the hero we need
If Texans don’t find a lot of dead hypothermia victims in the wake of this it will be a joke that will live on. If they do find that then Cruz will be run out
He will never live this down not because we are not judeochristian normal forgiving people but because he will continually mishandle this. He is as fine deaf as the guy who elbowed his wife In the eye on the world stage. Who went over the line to insult our beloved Trump
Spur of the moment according to Ted.
