Someone educate me on this. Why do we care that Ted Cruz went to Cancun with his daughters? I saw his interview on Fox. So he went down and was gonna stay but decided not to and came back the next day. So what if he stayed. What does it matter? Is there actually anything he can do to get the power back on. Seems like a job better left to those working for the power company, or is he able to secure some type of emergency funding? If so if it can be done remotely why does it matter where he does it from in this new age working remotely. My guess is it’s just an opportunity for the left’s media arm to attack a conservative/ republican. What say you.
Yeah I gave zero ****s. But that’s the world we live in. They want an opportunity to cancel.

It was a bad PR move for sure, but like you said it’s not like he can actually do anything. The media is trying REALLY hard to make this into something. But it seems to me that everyone is very “meh” about it, even some hardcore lefty types I know.
We dont, no one cares. Its a media smear.

They’re trying to take him out for '24.
Watch the media, they’ll always tell you who the Dems fear most by who they try to put hits on the hardest. This tells me that Cruz, DeSantis and Noem are our best bets unless Trump reenters the ring for a rematch.
Because Cruz taking a poorly timed but innocent trip is, like, a million times worse than killing people in nursing homes. Duh! ![]()
Its nice to see I’m not the only one thinking this. Since he is a lawyer not an electrician I didn’t see what difference it makes where he is.
Bingo.
Much ado about nothing. Just another manufactured story to distract us from the latest shenanigans.

Ted should have came back and started making calls offering to help or asking what he could do, and recorded all the ‘nothing‘ and ‘go away’ answerS.
Yes. Part of me doesn’t want to care about it - part of me says the timing was just lousy on this. If I was a public servant, it doesn’t look good if your district is having some calamity while you’re off jet-setting in some tropical paradise. If he left when this was going down, that was a dumb move. If it’s happening while you’re away, cancel and get back to your constituents.
I like the idea of the public servant politician out mixing with the average folks. If it’s tornado damage, be out with a shovel or a saw, doing something, getting your hands dirty. Loading debris in dumpsters, etc. In the case of a wide spread power failure, I don’t know what the public servant politician could do but lean on local bureaucrats to fix it fast.
President Trump was good in going and mixing with the locals. Even though I didn’t like Jimmy Carter as a President, I had respect for the guy when he was out building Habitat for Humanity houses. It wasn’t just a photo op - he was out actually doing construction work. And then I think of that thing and thing-ett as our President and VP now…yuk.
Gee thanks, now I have the thought of her “helping out the locals” in my head. I gotta go wash my brain out with bleach and a bottle brush!
Exactly, I believe it’s a misdirection attempt to get the attention off of Biden’s horrible town hall event where when defended the Chinese concentration camps.
Libs see Cruz as a threat.
Did you ever see those sarcastic memes accusing Ted Cruz of being the Zodiac Killer?
Well today the real Zodiac Killer turned himself in.
He didn’t want people thinking he was Ted Cruz…
Because some leftist in a state other than TX wants Cruz to go down there for a photo op showing Cruz shoveling somebody’s driveway… Yes, it was poorly planned and I heard he came back the next day.
Do I care? No, I do not.
The optics aren’t the greatest but bottom line is the Left is trying to manufacture outrage because they view Cruz as a threat. He was one of the few Senators that opposed certifying the election results so the cancel culture is out to get him.
I just don’t don’t want him dying from the water OR the cartels! One less senator AIN’T gonna be a GOOD thing! :fie:
We’re he a dem nothing would have been said.
