    What's he supposed to do? Not be a hypocrite.

    I gave you what I though but YOU said he got caught so you must have something in mind that he got caught at.

    This is nonsense. What can a senator do to fix the power problem?

    You are a Democrat correct?

    I'm not sure what you are getting at.

    1. He flew to Mexico for a few days with his family
    2. Public found out
    3. He hightailed it home less than 24 hours later

    Number 2 is the "getting caught," part. If it weren't a problem, number 3 would have been unnecessary.

    The public found out Biden was at Camp David last weekend, did he get caught something.

    Who cares?

    Fake outrage over nothing. Gotta dig deep I suppose.

    If people dont like it, they can feel free to vote him out.

    He could have raised money to help like AOC and Beto did, at the very least.

    I do know. He didn't. He tried leaving for a Cancun vacation after telling Texans they shouldn't get on the roads if they could help it. Trust me. I'm living through this. I'm following the stories.

    If cruz raised money, we would have heard about it. That guy never missed a chance at publicity.

    Cruz is the guy who spent 4 years grovelling at the feet of a man who called his wife ugly & implied his father was involved in he JFK assasination. Imagine having less self respect than Lindsey Graham. Probably lucky for his daughters Trump is attracted to his own child rather than Ted's.

    You are one of the most biased independents I have ever seen.

    For someone who is not a Democrat you sure have me fooled.

    Hypocracy is part of the Cruz brand.

    Yeah, the carnival barker cuts and runs in a crisis, and all the little Trumpistas make excuses for it!

    Ok, so you DO think Cruz could have defrosted the lines. Interesting. Your only response was to smugly label me as a Trumpista (wtf is that) rather than comment with substance.

    And now we have a VP who called the *president a racist and sexual abuser but now is his BFF.

    Bet you could care less.

    I'm a Democrat because Ted Cruz is a hypocrite? Hypocrisy is one of my pet peeves.

    You are a Trumpista.

    And here you are, doing exactly what I said you would do. Making excuses for Carnival Cruz.

    I'm not making excuses because there is no reason to excuse anything.

    Ted Cruz should have never went to Mexico when Texas needed him. Do you think that would be the right thing to do? Since he came back Texas has been on his case and even though he tries to apologizes for this, Cruz should be in the situation to either resign or catch hell for what he had done. Cruz should not get off scot free period.

    I agree that it looks bad for him to have done this but I don't know if it calls for his resignation. Is there some other way he can redeem himself to his constituents?
