While millions of Texans are without power and water in subzero temperatures, Ted Cruz flew to Cancun for a vacation.

---

So you are more worried about Cruz and his family taking a vacation to Cancun while your boy Biden is:
Allowing boys to compete in girls sports
Ignoring the threat of China
Starting to crash the economy
Going to remove your second amendment rights
Stating that minorities can't work a computer
Continuing to lock us down while opening up the border.
Yep, a Cruz vacation is going to kill our state and country.

---

Biden's sending emergency aid to Texas and supplying the state with generators. He's also authorized FEMA to provide food, water, and blankets to people in need. He's stepping up in a time of need.

Whereas Ted is going on vacay because this **** ain't his problem, and who can forget Donald threatening to withhold wildfire aid from CA because he was butthurt about them voting against him.

---

Biden is a DUMBASS for doing that. Get rid of liberal anti-"gouging" laws and generators would come flooding in by that thousands without a single tax dollar being spent. It is hilarious that you guys are not smart enough to see Biden's "action" for what it is: buying votes with other people's money.

---

So let's make it so that only rich people can get the help they need?

Biden is doing what any competent president would do in a time of crisis: help the people. Millions of people in Texas are still hurting and not much has been done this whole week.

Once again bears repeating...


Cruz has two jobs as a Texas senator.

1. Vote for conservative bills and block liberal ones.

2. Confirm conservative judges and block liberal ones.


That's it. Period. If he does that I don't give a **** where he goes or what he does.

I dont know, maybe something outside his job description? Be a leader and dont just do the bare minimum? Go above and beyond and show you give a **** about your constituents.

Beto ORourke and his volunteers called 150k homes yesterday to check on people's welfare and delivered resources to people in need. Why isn't Ted doing that? Ted should get his ass to the Houston food bank or something. It's what leaders do.

People here are acting like Ted is only obligated to do the bare minimum in DC. Real leaders get off their ass and help their people even if they dont get anything in return for it.

Stop defending him going on vacation right now. It's a bad look, even for this board.

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?

---

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.

---

It is just awful that he is not here to coddle us and whisper sweet reassurances into our ears. I would love to see him walking down my street just smiling and waving and letting us know he is with us! Feels so dark and dire without him!

It has been awful without him during the last few days. You and your family should probably move to Mexico permanently...esp since you claim it is so much better.

This is so "meh" to me. What's someone on the left going to try a "gotcha" with, that Ted can afford to buy the same "fancy" ice cream that Pelosi eats? That he has an Ivy League education?

None of those things have any relevance in what's going on in the world, especially him going to someplace to get away from the cold. If I had his time and resources I'd do the same. I'm sure most would.

Didnt' realize harvey affected the entire state.

Didn't realize more than half the counties in texas is on a water boil during harvey.

Didnt also realize that H-E-Bs, Walmarts, Randalls across the state were running on super limited hours and out of product in most areas during Harvey.

Harvey demolished Houston and the coastal areas. This is a statewide disaster.

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.

---

He's not a leader, he's an employee. A damned good one, too. If you look to ANY politician as a "leader", you're an idiot.

---

This is just an exercise in semantics to rationalize and downplay ****ty behavior.

Let's accept your position that Cruz is merely an employee. The function of his job is to represent our state interests in the U.S. senate. Well, leadership is a principle quality necessary to perform the job of representing Texans in the Senate. Whether you choose to see Cruz as a leader is immaterial to the necessity that he exercise leadership - and boarding an airplane to visit a resort town while Texas is experiencing a crisis is a contemptible failure of leadership.
