Ted is a Senator. He is not the Mayor, nor is he the Governor. There is only so much one Senator could do at this time. It is the instinct of any family man to protect his family. He should have stayed for a while in Mexico as planned.
Fake Mexican Beto isn’t a Senator. Doesn’t hold office.
And is doing more than Cruz. At least to the public eye.
He will have to come out and say what he has done to help his constituents.
