There’s plenty of things to find fault with Cruz, but this seems overblown.

Cruz, has done nothing wrong here....except create an optic that can and has now been exploited by the MSM and the opposition.

It shows that he is “tone deaf”. Not a good look for him but all Senators think they are better than everyone else.

Of course it’s going to be overblown, specially if it’s a republican, but if it’s true, it definitely fits with how privileged and self serving career politicians usually are. Kinda reminds me of Chris Christie taking a family beach outing during the early lock downs.

Hmmm. Only 18 deg at our place in NV and the power is on. Should we fly to Dallas so we can suffer along? 😕

Yeah because no other Texans have the means to go to Mexico or California to get out of the cold /s. Apparently this Frumpy Fruen character had nothing better to write about. Wondering if “she” is on Beto O’ Dorks payroll?

We looked at going to Vegas. I can’t blame Ted for this.

I do blame Bidet for not doing a tour. If Trump had sat in Camp David playing Mario Cart with the grand kids during an event like this, he’d have been impeached a third time.

It does seem a little insensitive, but not outrageously so. A smarter move would have just been to fly them to DC.

This is absurd. He has a family and vacations are a big deal to family. What is he going to do to fix this? Good for him! It’s not like his office is closed or is not helping constituents and now seems like a good time to vacation in Texas vs sitting around in the cold dark.

This whole debacle seems to be the inevitable result of a lack of preparation by utilities that have invested most of their money in “green energy” and did not anticipate a rare weather event and its impact on their infrastructure.

If I can keep my gutters free of ice with electrons in the north, it boggles my mind that a natural gas power plant cannot do the same. I know its more complex than that, but not having power (i.e. heat) at the plant seems goofy to me.

Yeah I agree. There are certain people who find fault with everything Cruz does. There was once a time when only Dems did that. But Trump brought a lot of Dems into the GOP and they brought their prejudices with them.

Any other Texan leaving the state wouldnt even raise an eyebrow. Why cant a man take a vacation? What kind of sick bastard wants someone to suffer when the person can get out of a situation? .. dont be a hater just because you cant have something someone else has. Thats a sin called jealousy! And its the root of most sins. Or is it envy, another deadly sin?

Fault? This jack ball attempted to stab Trump in the back while coming off as a total leftist.

I guess they want ol' Ted to be up there on the windmills chipping off the ice.
