Cruz “represents” the state in Washington DC. He isn’t the guy that the people of Texas voted to be the Governor and handle these things. That’s what the Governor, state legislature, county commissions, and city councils are for.

It’s amazing how so many say they hate big government, but at the first sign of a problem they all want to run to Uncle Sugar for help.

Abbott is escaping a lot with this ridiculous story.

Does anyone here think that Abbott was wrong asking Harris & Biden for permission to run the plants at full capacity? I do. A real leader would have told the current administration to pound salt up their a$$es and got everything going. He would have ordered the power plants to run at full capacity and not wait on CornPop or his boss, Harris. He should be fully aware that they don’t give a sh*t.

Look at what Schumer said....Texas learned a lesson.

Maybe he’s right. But the lesson should be, DO NOT depend on the federal government for anything. NOTHING. NADA. NIL. Do what you want and what needs to be done. The state can survive perfectly fine on its own.

Not that there are any competent Democratic Governors, but do any of you think any of them, in a similar situation would have asked President Trump for permission? They ignored any federal law they wanted. They either would have done what they wanted or they would have been on the media 24/7 railing against the President. They don’t care about people dying as long as it can hurt their political opponents.

Oh wait....that was already done and now Cuomo is feeling some heat, although nothing will come of it. They’re just getting him out of the way for 2024, that’s all.

Aside from the lives it may have saved and misery avoided, this would have been a perfect time for a state to stand up to and ignore the incompetence in the White House right now. That may sound too political, but this whole thing is political. The Dem’s have made it that way.

The one person who tried to do things the right way, isn’t in the White House anymore.

Sad thing is, President Trump would have ordered the power plants to increase their output, himself. But we don’t have that kind of leadership anymore.

Sorry,but until Democrats start paying for their criminal behavior, I could care less about this BS. Cruz was tone-deaf for taking this trip, but he didn't commit a crime.

I have a sneaking suspicion that she’s no more liked among her peers as her husband is with his.

did n’t she and the kiddos come back early after the SHTF?
she does not owe anybody of where she goes, paid with her own money.
I’m sure even in her circle of friends, she has a frenemy or 2....women can be bitchy.
