Ted Cruz has been pictured jetting off to Cancun while millions in Texas remain without power, heat or water amid a devastating winter storm.

The article says Cruz is flying home today.
Fault? This jack ball attempted to stab Trump in the back while coming off as a total leftist.
You really smell like a concern troll provocateur. I used to have fun doing that over at DU many, many years ago.
Bet Mejico don’t have windmills and solar but gas and coal.
If you were advising a political candidate who wanted to run for office in Texas - whether House or Senate- what would you tell them to do in Texas?
Jet off to Cancun or find a way to help your constituents even if you don’t give a damn about them.
Start making calls.
Start putting pressure on the idiotic board members (most not in Texas) for ignoring the recommendations to do things like winterize the water lines.
PR ops.
Again, you work the problem. Can he unfreeze a well? No, but he can put pressure on those who allowed it to happen.
The man’s whole life is perception. He is a politician, and that means he lives and dies in the public eye. That means you get in front of a major issue and start controlling the narrative.
Let me give you another example. I was working on a project were there was a major accident. It was in the middle of the night, and when we informed the project major he went back to bed. Nothing for him to do since the plant blew up.
He was fired by the end of the week. Mainly because when the disaster happened, he went back to sleep.
The disaster happened, Ted went on vacation. Right or wrong, that will not play well.
He aspires to become President .. (remember 2016?) .. or are you suggesting that he's reached his 'Peter Principle' in being a Senator?
What was that fat slobs name who closed a beach to the public then they found him alone with his family on that same beach. Christy?
Meant to ping you to 169.
It is called Leadership.
FR needs a like button. The Cruz derangement syndrome is rampant here
Send the family but go to DC instead of going with them? Almost anything would be better than what he did. Sorry if criticizing a Republican is such a major deal. This is going to backlash so insanely bad.
Do you want democrats running Texas? Cause stuff like this and do-nothing Abbot are how it happens. We’ll be another Virginia or CO.
He was never going to be President. But now he has no chance of it for sure. Dukasis and the Tank level of killing off your career.
I don’t know how he turns this around but he better get on the ground and do something.
He is a very smart man but he just isn’t likeable. He would have been a better SCOTUS than some on the bench.
I like when Cruz, sounding just like a lying leftist, attempted to blame Trump for the Chicago riots when Trump was scheduled to do a rally there and had to shut it down due to all the violence.
Right then and there this guy showed exactly who he is. Never Trust Cruz.
There ya go.
Exactly.
In a crisis, you don’t go on vacation.
Ted Cruze just stepped in it, rubbed it all over his face, and people are blaming those who say “That was very stupid”.
That should be inordinately obvious to all these posers defending this stooge.
