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.
I would tell them that the people who will scream the loudest about some phony contrived “scandal” would never, ever have voted for you in the first place. Just like those who turned blue and hysterical over Trumps 3,897 similar MSM/DNC/LEFTISTS contrived “scandals”.
Those that value GOD, FAMILY, GOVERNMENT in that order will commend you for putting time with your children first, instead of putting some phony virtue signaling show for government first.
