I'm sorry to admit I was a Cruzer in 2015. Boy, did we dodge a bullet in Nov 2016, from both r's and d's.
I believe the right side is the original Teddy.

Ted Cruz invited his college roommate from Princeton and Harvard Law to join him and his family on their Cancun vacation, it has been revealed.
The Texas Senator flew to Mexico last Wednesday afternoon with his wife Heidi and their two daughters, aged 10 and 12, while millions in their home state struggled without power, heat and water.
He flew back the next day amid outcry over the trip, and defended it by saying he was just being a 'good dad' and appeasing his 'girls', who'd asked if they could jet somewhere warm while Texas froze.
After planning the trip apparently at the last minute, Cruz also invited his David Panton, his roommate from Princeton and Harvard Law, who lives in Atlanta and works in private equity.
Panton accepted and flew to Cancun, where he also got a room at The Ritz-Carlton, Axios has revealed.
It's unclear when he flew back. Panton grew up in Jamaica before attending college in the US.
He and Cruz graduated from Princeton in 1992 and from Harvard Law in 1995.
It comes after text messages show how Heidi Cruz told neighbors and friends that they were 'escaping' the 'freezing' temperatures.
She asked the others in a group text for women who live on their Houston street if they too could get away.
The family also left behind their poodle, Snowflake.
The trip and his attempts to defend it have been a PR disaster for the Senator.
Since returning last Thursday, Cruz has been working overtime to mend his image and tackle the ongoing crisis in Texas.
Over the weekend, he served barbecue to first responders in Houston to 'thank them' for their work.

“Must be nice to be able to invite your friends and neighbors to see if if they too want to jet off to some tropical venue at the drop of hat, because the weather sucks.
These people clearly don’t live in the real world.”
What do you think a flight to Cancun from TX and a couple nights at a hotel costs, like $150,000? I wouldn’t be surprised if there are $599 3-night packages commonly available.
Don’t live in Texas. Is Teddy the only conservative in Texas?
I’m a Texan and I really don’t give a rip.
Abbot on the other hand is on my fecal list.
Weak sister.
meow meow meow
Then you obviously don’t speak for Texans.
He didn’t help himself? I guess that’s the nice way of saying he was lying his butt off.
“ I wonder why the Daily Mail is so obsessed with this piece of news which has little to no national significance, while totally ignoring news like Andrew Cuomo’s criminal neglect of the Covid-19 infected Elderly by putting them in ill-equipped nursing homes ”
Exactly why they are trying to grow legs on this story: to disgrace from Cuomo. Plus they think they can get another scalp. The way the media is, Christ himself would be vilified as a sinner. A dem can do no wrong.

Of course he was. It was hard to see how jetting off to Cancun while your voters are literally freezing to death can be topped...but yea, in his lying about it - he managed to even top that off!
Never said I did.
What actions could Ted have taken to ameliorate the storm and the electrical failures? I don’t think he is a state official in charge of anything in Texas and he is not in a position to issue Decrees.
You just gotta keep posting this crap don’t ya?
Exactly what crime are you accusing Ted Cruz of committing here?
I hang out with plenty of my friends from college, as do most people I know.
Nothing new or strange about that.
Cruz goes to Cancun, and is ostracized. Obama goes golfing immediately after American journalist James Foley is beheaded. Crickets.
Mike stayed in Bermuda.
So by the left’s logic we should just cancel the right and have no opposing viewpoints then. Makes sense.
Much more impotanter than coumo’s nursing home killings. Cancun story, 😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴
Mike who?
“Dumb move politically, but who cares.”
Ahhhh, VOTERS who hadn’t ALREADY figured out what a PHONY, PLASTIC, FAKE person Ted Cruz is.
Oh, NOW we can include LIAR!
FUTC (Frost You Ted Cruz)
Well, it wasn’t smart because once his opponents found out they donated millions to disaster relief.
It's better than inviting your mother-in-law.
