Ted Cruz flew to Cancun with family amid Texas power crisis

Its a bad look for sure.. But telling people to not travel and then doing it is different then traveling when he should be home helping with the situation.

 

Be in communication with local power officials and communicate that information to local residents. I cannot do his job for him and give him ideas. He was elected to come up with ideas. So far he's only lied and blamed California which doesn't help.

 

With school cancelled for the week, our girls asked to take a trip with friends," he said. "Wanting to be a good dad, I flew down with them last night and am flying back this afternoon. My staff and I are in constant communication with state and local leaders to get to the bottom of what happened in Texas. We want our power back, our water on, and our homes warm. My team and I will continue using all our resources to keep Texans informed and safe."

 

Yup, except he only bought the ticket AFTER he was found out. He had no intention of flying back today.

He bought a ticket today, on stand by. He wasn't guaranteed a seat. There was no plan.

 

Sure; in that one regard, they are different.

Terrible look, though. He's really not doing himself any favors so far this year.

 

So you're only question is why did he fly home? You're not making any sense. Did he have the key to some giant heater to defrost everything? He didn't need to fly home, him being home solves absolutely nothing.

 

Like i said a bad look.

 

He's a senator, not a governor or mayor nor does he work for the power company. Most power is being restored now anyway.

 

Who cares, he can't do anything anyway, and the situation is improving as we speak.

 

Call Ted and tell him to stay then.

If he's doing nothing wrong, there's no reason for him to fly home early.

 

Exactly, but I've read at least 3 headlines this morning in the news about his trip. Dems just have to bitch about everything.

 

The article I posted is from Fox News. LOL.

You often appear savvy, politically. If you can't see why this was a dumb decision, perhaps you are too blinded by partisanship.

 

And dems would be bitching if Fox hadn't covered it.

 

Do you have a link to his constituents expressing anger? All I'm finding is media sights saying people are mad, but not the actual people saying their mad.

 

Optics, I can imagine the MSM hair on fire over it, probably get more coverage than Perseverance just landing on Mars!!!!!! Go NASA!

 

lol

Do politicians typically change their plans if their constituents are okay with what they are doing?

Cruz; I'm on vacation!
Constituents: Have fun!
Cruz: Okay, I'll come home.

lol

 

That seems to be the issue you're questioning? Why did he come home?

 

As far as I know Cruz isn’t part of Texas’s power or emergency management structure; the mayor on the other hand is.

 

So the answer is no, you don't have that information.

 

He came home because he got caught. Easy.

 

PAY ATTENTION LIBS! This person might be a lefty but isn't afraid to call out his own. Unfortunately even though this only makes up about 0.000000000001% of the liberal population, its nice to see. I will take this person's threads more seriously now before automatically calling BS. You could learn a lot from this person but unfortunately most of ya'll adopt this mentality (see screenshot)

 

Not a lefty. Sorry.

In order to qualify as a democrat, doesn't one need to vote for democrats?

 

Sorry I assumed! My bad. and i don't know what compromises "are you a lefty". I'm a registered democrat but haven't voted that way in a while. Regardless, apologies for assuming. not cool!

 

Not everyone is a member of a particular camp, just sayin'.

 

Got caught doing what?
