It's hilarious all the people posting their outrage on what Cruz should be doing to help his fellow Texans....while dicking around on a message board instead of helping their fellow Texans.

Just a reminder that all of the libs on here who are frothy were OK with Cruz and other senators being in DC on a sham impeachment while millions more Americans were suffering due to government mandated 2 week lockdowns, which are going on a year now.

Holy crap, are y'all serious right now? Ted Cruz flying to Cancun is him somehow fulfilling his constitutional duty? Did he tell you how it tastes too?

He's no Texan. I can't fix a power plant but I'm here finding food for my neighbors or helping them unthaw pipes or calling to friends to see if they are ok and to help them find shelters. To say there's nothing he can do is to say he's not even a person. An Ag doesn't leave their neighbors in the cold and a real Texan isn't in Mexico when Texas needs us. This man doesn't deserve y'all's excuses.

Funny how libs show up in mass at 5:50 am. Look at all the blue stars on lefty posts on page 4. As a system analyst I'd say there is a chance we have a either a bot problem given the bad math or some level of coordinated propaganda.
My account was created in 2005 - what difference does it make? Why are you calling people out for posting at 5:50 when you are responding at 5:58?
Because I want to and can smell a rat. Basic math and pattern matching. Lots of stars to new accounts at that time is not likely to be a real thing.

But as a lib you probably aren't much into critical thinking, thus missing the point.

Yep funny how the rats all show up at once with all this outrage. *****ing on a message board while their fellow Texans are hurting.

They cant even offer advice how to help anyone. Just Cruz is bad. What idiots

Well that's an intelligent response. Never understood kindergarten name calling in political discussions. BTW - as a fellow Aggie - we should do better.

I know there are a lot of trolls on here jumping on anything that will make Cruz look bad. I'm not trying to bash Cruz, but it's undeniable that going to Cancun during the middle of a natural disaster appears out of touch and unengaged.

I'm done with this thread, enjoy your mental gymnastics trying to spin this as a positive.

Only thing I called you was a lib that wasn't into critical thinking. Made a case about numbers, timing, irregularities and that is a Kindergarten response? Well expect more of the same.

There are some who might not care but it's undoubtedly a terrible look for a leader to be seen as leaving their constituents in what could be considered their hour of greatest need.
Even if it's true that there is little he could do by remaining, the optics don't look good.
You realize several of the people that oversee the Texas electrical grid aren't living in Texas. They aren't there in their constituents' hour of need. They are in their state with power living comfortably with six figure salaries.

The timing couldnt be worse for his vacation. Most likely it was planned a while back, but he is an elected official in public office. This is the job he signed up for and he should know more than anyone the optics of doing something like this during a natural disaster in the state he was elected to represent. He could at least tweet something out regarding a resource or a phone number or something people could use for assistance. So far we got nothing from him. He's just as bad as all the other losers in DC

Wow, 6 pages mostly of people defending a senator who goes on vacation while millions of his constituents are suffering. Impressive, even for this place!

And yet... YOU know what your gut reaction was when you first heard that Cancun Cruz went to Mexico while you/your family/your friends having been sitting for days in your cold, dark houses. Denial. Dismay. Disgust. And then you put those feelings aside and carried Cruz's water while you pretend like it doesn't piss you off that the man went on vacation during a state-wide crisis. Most of you can't even bring yourselves to admit that this was, at the very least, an extremely stupid and mind-bogglingly tone-deaf move on his part. Sad!

Will you leftist idiots get your stories straight?

Is he an all-powerful demigod, who should wave a magic wand and fix things?

Or is he no better than a minimum wage worker recruited off the street?

If US Senators are absolutely useless during times of great need especially during one of the worst natural disasters this state has ever seen, then why do we need him ever?

The basics in life are not there right now - power and water for much of the state.

He could be working with Fema to get us even more resources. He could be working on getting us the aid we are going to need to get back up.

The food supply chain is shut down for the next month. Refineries have shut down and we are low on gas everywhere. Dairy farmers in Texas are losing $10M a day - they are going to need aid.

I mean, if a senator can't be there for his constituents during times like this, why do we ever need him?

Ted's in DC. Exactly how is he supposed to fly back to Texas.

Once here, he adds to the load on the grid, not to mention the herd of reporters who would be sure to follow him.

Congrats on a sock account just to post ignorant nonsense.

Cruz could absolutely be doing more than completely nothing. This is from Senator Cornyn and is pretty low effort, but better than sitting this one out like y'all seem to be advocating for:

Beeto is full of hot air. He's warming the atmosphere as we speak. In fact, it's already gone up several degrees this morning and is forecast to go up quite a bit more. Hail Beeto!

You posting history like that of the other "outraged" morons demanding Cruz man a soup kitchen is nothing but bad partisan politics. Nothing Cruz could do would change your mind.

Question for you. Why are you on a message board *****ing with fake politically motivated outrage. Why aren't you fixing pipes, delivering food, offering advice to help those in need.

Because you and those of your ilk are massive hypocrites. Always have been will always me. Its what the left does. A Zebra never changes its stripes.

That web page was probably approved while Cornyn was on vacation, but because he's not followed around like Cruz, nobody would notice.

For the same reason none of them will ever open their homes to the poor illegal aliens who are just looking for a better life. That reason, as you stated is...

Disaster strikes Texas and Beto launches his bid for governor. Now he is "helping" people. No none of this is coordinated to help his chances for office. None, zip, zero. He isn't trying to score political points here.

To pretend like a US senator is as powerless to do anything to help Texans right now as a bump on a log is to admit that either the position of senator is meaningless and empty, or that Cancun Cruz himself is powerless and impotent.

This goes in both directions. If a blue state was in the situation that Texas is now and one of its Dem Senators was seen at the airport going on vacation would not the right attempt to lambast the Senator for it? Of course they would. The "fake" outrage would be out in force.
