Elliot Spitzer resigned but off the top of my head I can’t think of another.

Fox news has confirmed he took off his mask while eating the free snack on the flight down. I think that’s going to be fatal. No far left Karen will ever vote for him after that. Millions and billions died from COVID and he showed he just doesn’t care.

Sounds like a good idea to me. Probably pre-planned.

I don’t believe it. I think it is crisis management

Exactly what does Ted Cruz have to do with power generation in Texas? He’s a freaking senator. It’s not like he’s the Gov or LtGov.

It would nice to know if they already had reservations for the trip. If so no big deal. If not it is a big deal.

You don’t have to beg...after visiting Houston years ago; I would never come near that hellhole again...heat, humidity...you’re welcome to it! As for Cruz? I wouldn’t drink a beer with him, much less vote for him. Ick. (By the way...I am one of the most humble people you could ever meet. Superior attitude? LOL.)

Perfect. Make fun of.....deride.....scoff at people who are going through a crisis. We never lost power. Never had to boil our drinking water. No burst pipes. Get off your high horse and realize that there are people who have suffered greatly.....lost their lives..... because of govt. screw ups. Cruz is part of that. What is so wrong with insisting he be here to experience....to see.....what those bad govt. decisions caused? Do you honestly feel he should be put on a pedestal and protected from ANY criticism?

Leaders are to lead-set an example.

This was just another poor example by a leader.

Not exactly. Many school districts closed for the week. That was not know ahead of time. Good for Ted, taking advantage of that opportunity to take his kids someplace nice and spend time with them. That IS what we claim is a priority over PHONY VIRTUE SIGNALING, YES?

Apparently taking care of your family is an “unforced error”, “bad optics”, etc. I’m sure Cruz knew he’d get blasted for this but still put his family first. Can we just stop looking at everything in life as a political plus or minus?

A big SO!!! this is not something that he can solve or help solve by being in the state... I hope he had a good time with his family and was able to recharge so he can continue to fight the good fight.
