He would have been fine if he just discussed what ice cream was in his refrigerator.

My God what a waste if time this story is.

Yeah, it was bad optics. No, it was not bad in substance. Get over it.

What was bad in substance was Cuomo's nursing home mismanagement, which resulted in the deaths of thousands and has resulted in a fraction of the press attention Cruz has been getting.

Daily Mail I’m not a big fan of Cruz’s after he attacked Trump but, good grief, get a damn life, there are things that really matter like a brain dead president and a stolen election and people freezing in their camp trailers in Texas due to EPA dictates.

This reminds me of the attack on Senator Allen in Virginia.

The reason this keeps going is because he originally said it was just an overnight trip to drop off the kids.

If he were a Democrat it would be not even be a news item.

He’s not a Dem so he needs to think. I thought he was brilliant.

Cruz invited his Princeton roommate to join him on Cancun family vacation

That's a bit odd because Cruz said he never intended to stay and planned on returning directly. Was he inviting his friend to keep his wife company while he went back to Texas?

Maybe he should practice law and let Abbott appoint his replacement.

Maybe you should take Ted’s place.

“ Why are we still talking about Senator Cruz?”

Oh please. Even NY talked about Bloomberg when he likewiseskipped town during a blackout then a blizzard. Ok he was mayor. But he’s a democrat. It’s taking them a year to even look at cuomo

Cruz want us to pretend the democrats will stop their double standard. They won’t. This was a disgraceful move compounded by w
Cowardice.

“Dumb move politically, but who cares.”

Sadly, far more people than needed to hand the seat to a Democrat. They SHOULD only care about how he performs as a Senator, on Senate business, and that he’s not owned by anyone or being blackmailed. But that’s not how politics works, and Cruz shouldn’t have had to figure this out after he’s been in the US Senate for 4 years.

Those people, more than enough to throw in on the streets, SHOULDN’T give a Shiite about Cruz going to Cancun, and they should understand that any help he could offer would be more than negated by the distractions associated with his presence there - but we’re stuck with them voting, whether we, or Cruz, like it or not.

I only hang out with one person from college. We see each other every day. I married her.

I actually only had a roommate for one term. He was a total psycho. Like legit psycho. Even threatened to kill me once.

Since I transferred in as a junior, I was able to live off campus and I moved out as soon as I could. I hated “dorm life.”

But, there’s nothing untoward about having a lifelong buddy who’s families vacation together on occasion.

I know. Enough already with this Ted Cruz “scandal”. The attention *should be* completely on Andrew Cuomo!!

Cruz isn’t up for reelection until 2024. It will be fun to see how long the media and their leftist puppet masters will try to milk this story.

“Friends” should not be put in a position to defend stupid decisions.

My beef with Cruz is that he apologized. If you grovel, they’ll just kc you when you’re down. He should have doubled down.

“Yeah I took a Cancun vacation. Mexico is a great place. Lots of fine people down there willing to work hard and I’m proud to help their economy in any way I can. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’ve got some rays I need to catch”.

“The reason this keeps going is because he originally said it was just an overnight trip to drop off the kids.”

While I agree he didn’t help himself there, it keeps going because THEY own the media and can keep it alive as long as it sells copy.

That’s why Cruz, if as tone-deaf as he appears, should have hired a decent PR firm to pre-clear him for every time he steps out of his front door...at least if he wanted to remain a viable politician.
