“ TX energy is not his job as a TX representative, got it. Glad he stays in his lane during a state emergency.”
It’s outside his powers as one of the State’s Senators to do so, so he’d better stay in his lane. Removal from office for not doing so is a possibility.
Unless you just want him to squawk pointlessly about it.
Here’s the folks who have that job: https://www.puc.texas.gov/
Ok, so they don’t have phone service in Cancun?
Plus why would Cruz know what to request from FEMA? Those are all state level back and forth calls. He would just be getting in the way.
I would bet they couldn’t find ONE SINGLE RAT that went to Mexico during this. NOT ONE!
Wow. Good to know. Really.
It wouls also be a REALLY Good thing the media, politicians, and other hateful people doesn’t use this and other disasters to try to undermine efforts to ACTUALLY HELP.
Makes me very Glad he flew back to help since he has so much power and responsibility to get this fixed. And so few are taking responsibility. Maybe he can really be a huge help. He strikes me as someone who would do his best on this.
Why is this non-story in Breaking News?
Cold weather is an excellent time to take a family vacation somewhere south and warmer.
Also - right now there is some down time while the dems prepare their legislative onslaught. Thus a perfect time for Cruz to do this.
“let them freeze”
We can land a rover the size of a VW on mars but
we can’t keep Texans warm.
A sad sad day indeed.

Let who freeze? So Cruz is supposed to do what exactly? Screw that.
The dems make up these non-stories and unfortunately some people fall for it.
Yeah, better to go on vacation during a disaster and then come right back after he’s already destroyed himself. Great move!
And biden isn’t doing much better at all. This is a complete failure all around. I haven’t heard a peep from Cornyn either.
One has to ask, how many trips does Pelosi make, per month, to SF and back on her government plane to get her hair done and stock up on ice cream. Afterall, homeless people are sleeping in the streets, schools and businesses are closed, people are starving.
Yep. I’m fine with it. Much ado about nothing.
Would you be fine with it if a dem took off for vacation?
Who were the good guys Trump stabbed in back?
This is the 3rd time I've asked you this question. Why so evasive? You made the statement, back it up!
Fredo strikes again. 😃
He’s the only Texas politician that got caught doing it.
Two strikes:
1. Flying during a pandemic to a foreign country - baaaaad optics.
2. Fleeing his state while his state is in a major humanitarian crisis. Maaaaaaajor optics problem - shades of Marie Antoinette.
He *barely* won re-election. This will not be forgotten by the masses of voters who *couldn’t* leave and were stuck huddled together for warmth, slowly freezing to death in the dark.
It does not matter that “other people have gone to Mexico.” He is a leader who is now seen as abandoning his post instead of staying with his men.
So, you have no problem with a staff officer bailing out from his unit in the middle of a battle? Because that’s basically what he did.
There’s a lot of people who haven’t been heard of, possibly because they don’t currently have power. :P None of them seem to have been caught flying to Mexico.
“Looks like Ted figured out that we “low IQ types” were correct:”
The morons who shut down all of the power plants were not supported by Ted so why in the hell should he stick around when their shortsightedness freezes their asses.
He is all warm and toasty and he was damn right about the lefty stupidity of shutting down those power plants.
Now that they know he was right they want to blame him for being right.
Typical lefty logic. You were right but now you have to stay here and suffer for our stupidity.
