Do you understand leadership? Perception?
How are voters going to respond to him during the reelection?
Let me say this, I have seen people fired for much less. They couldn’t fix much, and left he plant/office in the middle of a disaster.
The reason conservatives struggle is we don’t realize perception is as much of a thing as acting. The perception is that Cruz does not care that hospitals in Austin don’t have water and are pooping into bags.
That WILL bite him.
When I see even one similar reaction to a Democrat, then I will pay attention. This is completely contrived.
And... Where was POTUS? Trump would have been there the first day and in his case, he should have been there. As I recall Biden took a snow day off.
