He should have gotten some long PVC pipes glued together and started whacking those windmills.
Nothing more than Beto’s senate campaign doing dirty work.
Deflect from Biden’s failing to even acknowledge the disaster.
He did nothing wrong. But he’s a tone deaf simpleton and his wife is an unsupportive selfish idiot.
He should have been standing in front of a frozen windmill for a press conference.
He could have done like Alex Jones and visited ERCOT headquarters, looked through the windows and pointed out how THEIR light and heat was still turned on.
He could have prepped himself to be ready to fight the green new deal push.
Hell, he could have worked at a warming center or soup kitchen pretending he cared.
Last on the list should be a trip to Cancun because his wife and daughters whined. He said he was just being a good dad? Then cool, go be a dad. Leave the work of government to real men.
***For the record, a U.S. senator doesn’t do anything when a snowstorm hits his or her home state.***
It is simply a do-feeling symbolic gesture that achieves nothing. Much like Jimmy Carter locking himself in the White House as a symbolic prisoner during the Iranian Hostage Crisis. It achieved nothing.
Exactly but bad optics.
If they are going to beat up on Cruz, where is Cornyn the do nothing spinator from Texas?
He is a Senator from one of the most powerful states in the Union.
He has the power and connections to make things happen.
Stop giving the guy a pass due to his idiotic blunder.
Senators call the President and pitch a fit that he hasn’t sent any aid or even called an emergency for their state.
Sorry, I like many of Cruz’ positions, but he blew it big on this one. And it’s going to have an impact on the GOP in Texas and probably even on Trump, since Cruz has been very supportive lately.
I used to live in Austin. It’s filled to the brim with commies of every variety. Soy Boys, hippie, feminazis. So I find this very entertaining.
And the fact that he caved shows he lacks leadership strength.
OT but I’m spreading the word, Donald.win, now Patriot.win is compromised. Heavy hate being thrown at Texas and Texans there, mods encourage it/allow it.
Nasty stuff about how Texans are lazy, deserve to freeze to death. Mods are aware but allow it. Won’t even remove posts spewing the hate.
So just know if you are a member there it is now under the control of the enemy.
They lead and leaders don’t lead from Cancun when their state is being devastated by a freak winter storm. He better turn this around or it’s gonna bite him hard.
What Exactly Is Ted Cruz Supposed To Do About A Snowstorm In His Home State? Senators make laws, they don’t shovel snow or repair power grids
______________________________________
Stupid Question. Ted himself has already answered this question.
Look. I’m as big as a Cruz supporter as they come. But it’s past time for the Deniers to shut up. And accept the fact that Cruz screwed up.
He admitted it. Why can’t they?
He can do literally anything that’s not fleeing the state for a vacation.
He could be on the air constantly telling US that Resident biden is ignoring this catastrophe and the good people of Texas!
So much so that he has time to visit a FungYouFlu factory today!
But then the resident and the texas Trump hater don’t work for US they work for enriching demselves!
Senators make laws?
Maybe he should have made a law outlawing these stupid azz windmills that turned into junk in severe weather.
Good and sensible article.
This excuse is what you hear from a lot of CruzBots here.
But they never answer why Teddy felt the need to rush back
to Texas, admit his mistake numerous times and hurry to Hannity’s show to do damage control. If he wasn’t needed in Texas, why rush back?
Why not just stay in Cancun and until Saturday(His original schedule)
and soak up the Sun and drink a couple beers.
It’s symbolism. Be a part of the people you’re representing or not. Bailing out is bad optics.
