I’ve said this for at least 4 years.
Ted needs to concentrate on Texas.
There are plenty of things to fix there.

Worst disaster in TX history,

Um, no.

you should cancel a vacation. This is a top-down massive failure.

Does Ted Cruz run Texas?

I don’t care, doing this during a state disaster is a real bad move. About as bad as biden is for ignoring it as well.

Doesn’t sound right. Mexico is quarantining anyone arriving from outside.

Good on him. After the whole election mess and the inauguration mess and the whole Pelosi-led fricking Capitol mess, yeah good on Ted.

Hope he is sharing a margarita with his wife right now.

Now if Ted Cruz instead stayed in Texas and was filmed scraping ice off his windshield and shoveling his driveway, all the Cruz-haters would suddenly become ardent supporters.

I'm pretty sure that's how it would have turned out.

Not that there is anything that Cruz personally can do about this - it’s mainly a state matter, federal disaster relief has been approved - but it’s still a lousy visual for him.

Maybe the author of this article should bring his Hot Air to Texas and generate some energy to warm some houses. Cruz isn’t even in Texas and airports here were closed until yesterday. People know you can work in DC or Cancun and still do your job, right? BS story and post.

So he takes his family out of a dangerous situation and that’s bad? Why?
That is what I would do. Maybe not Cancun but some where safe.

I’ve voted for him many times. This is about the #1 thing going on twitter now, makes the entire party look bad. Just ridiculous.

Yeah. He should have donned his hard hat and climbed a pole. This is stupid.

No it wasnt. Holiday weekend was over.

When there is a crisis of this magnitude you have to at least pretend to care.

And yes, many people are volunteering and trying to help.

Heck, he could have tried to organize something

This is totally tone deaf.

What would suggest he do?

Sit on the sidewalk wrapped in a blanket?

Kickstart a windmill?

My guess is that nearly “everyone” he and Heidi “know” did that as well.

During an emergency it is smart to get the family to safety.
