No. Just stop.
You FR drama queens need to take a chill pill.
Nothing wrong was done here.
So millions of people without power in your state, people
dying and others freezing... you would honestly go on a
planned vacation?
What about the plans of people in your state? I’m certain
they had some plans they had to blow off.
I’m sure they didn’t plan to die or suffer from severe cold
related problems.
Note that Ted is now scrambling back for Cancun.
This is a disaster on the order of a hurricane, tornado, or
wildfires. There may not be anything you can do, but your
constituents have some expectation that you would actually
care.
It doesn’t take a Leftist to realize Ted blew it here.
Why did you change the subject? I don’t do hypotheticals. As a practical matter, there wasn’t and isn’t anything for Cruz to do.
And if people want communism, let them have what they want. People get the government they deserve.
I don’t buy his excuse that he was just escorting his family there. He would have stayed if he hadn’t been caught. I guess it’s the best lie he could come up with given the circumstances.
Yeah, nothing like realistic fakery.
Did you know the young mother pictured on the Ivory Snow boxes was Marilyn Briggs-Taylor, the one who later went under the name Marilyn Chambers (1952-1959)? The classic porn performer in Behind the Green Door. A friend of a friend of mine saw the movie. Ahem.
She lived 1952-2009. Not 1959. Sorry.
I think she lived more then 7 years, no?
I corrected it a minute or so later to 2009. Apologies to my ever vigilant colleagues.
1. Bad optics.
2. Spineless response.
I’m not sure which is worse.
You say, “no” to my comment, “One would have more luggage if one had planned to stay”, and what is it I’m supposed to ‘just stop’?
If his wife went also, then I would consider that a vacation. Otherwise, he did what he said he was doing. There and back.
PS was not talking to directly to you..just happened to be the first ‘reply’ button I came across. I’ll try to remember to not reply to you. Have a great life!
The local Houston news media are really piling on, they dedicated half their time on this non-story. Shameful really.
United States he had a return ticket for Saturday. He changed it this morning to come back. But now that he’s home, he will have to deal with whatever if anything comes from it. Maybe it is a dead issue now.
Let’s hope!
What the f*** could he do ? Why not ask why Biden stayed hunkered in the Capital?
Is this thread about Biden?
Is anyone here defending Biden? Is anyone defending Harris
here?
Ted demonstrated that he could go vacation in a tropical
zone while his fellow Texans were on death’s doorstep.
I couldn’t have done that. I see a big problem with it.
Reactively, perhaps, there was not much Cruz could do to help his constituents, though that is arguable. Proactively; however, he could have refused to provide his critics with a depot's worth of ammunition with which to go after him. This he did not do.
As Lee Atwater was fond of saying, in politics, perception is reality, and Cruz did himself no favors in the perceptions he formed by doing this.
Cruz said on Hannity he was going with his wife and kids to the beach. He wasn’t just making sure his kids got on the plane. Cruz said he originally planned to work remotely throughout the weekend, Wed to Saturday. Hence the suitcase. But then had second thoughts (after the backlash) and said we need to have boots on the ground.
HaHa no problem FRiend, I don’t know if I should admit to this; but I saw that movie and I knew she was older than 7, LOL.
