Oh please. He can be a leader and a role model or an as# hole. He chose the latter.

You're allowed a different opinion. Haters have been after him since 2015. But he still supported Trump....and tried to kill AOC. *sigh*

Trump had to face about several thousand of these phony contrived outrages by the DNC press and hack liberal sources. He showed what you do. NEVER, EVER play their game. Punch back twice as hard. Troll them and mock them without mercy.

He is a member of a legislature body - the Senate.

As such he has no control of anything going on in Texas. The Executive and his staff of the state and municipalities have all the authority and responsibility. Other than it gives the loony left some ammunition, I see nothing wrong with getting out of town.

I like Cruz. He is one of us and has a brilliant mind. He has been in Trump’s corner since the primary season ended.

Weather caused a statewide emergency. I recall landing in Dallas around mid nite on a business trip. One inch of snow they shut down the airport. We were all stranded. A taxi driver from PA got me to the hotel.one week no room service or maid service cause of one inch of snow.

So it’s haters fault that Cruz flew he and his family to Cancun while
3 million of his fellow Texans were left without power, water and probably food.
Freezing to death.
Cruz admits his mistake. Why can’t you CruzBots?

For God sake, if a guy screws up, admit it.

This was a very clear and easy decision to make.

None the less, it’s one more act of idiocy that this guy
has made.

We’re siding with the Communists?

Are all the citizens of Texas Communists? Who knew?

Why do you have to call names simply because we disagree?

What purpose would it have served for Cruz and his family to freeze with them? This is on state officials, Cruz is federal. Hate is a consuming emotion.

Exactly so! And it’s that inability to observe and assimilate that irks me. We’re out here accruing acid burns on our skins from the smarmy condescension of the GOPe, and this guy goes out and does this.

His ego will not allow himself to hire a crisis team.
He is smarter than everybody or so he thinks.
Well, he thought wrong.

It’s cold, let’s get out of here, doesn’t really square with the initial pre planned family vacation.

It’s always the cover-up.😂😂

NEVER APOLOGIZE.

Our side is run by frightened little virtue signalers like you.

THAT’S why we lose. You lead the way.

A brilliant mind...

That’s what you call acting as if you support the NeverTrump
movement for months leading into the 2016 election?

About six weeks before the election he began to see the
optics everyone else were seeing, but too late, and he
came off looking like a jackass then too.

That’s what you call a guy supporting a 400% increase in
H1-B visas, in that political climate when everyone was
against them?

That’s what you call support for that Pacific Trade deal,
supporting the legislation to pave the way for it to happen?

Just a couple of week ago Cruz tore into Trump big-time,
and you think he’s brilliant?

Oh may gosh...

You left out the part where you called those of us who disagree with you
“Haters”. Last I checked that’s namecalling.
Cruz admitted his mistake. Why can’t you.

Bad optics, but what exactly does a senator have to do with state governance?
