Texas frozen, so Ted Cruz flies to Cancun


Feb 18, 2021, 5:29 AM

Is this what leadership looks like?

Surely you're joking, Dave. You can't actually expect a US Senator of Ted's standing to be back home on the ground freezing his pelotas off with the little people, now, would you?

It's cold there, Dave. 'Sides, he's got Fox News getting people mad at windmills and sh!t. They didn't even care he supported an insurrection, it's certainly not like anybody's even going to notice he was gone.

I am trying to find the problem

with his tweet.

If you are looking for a reaction regarding optics of the situation, well, optics took a vacation from politics many, many years ago.

I mean cancun is pretty nice.


Feb 18, 2021, 9:00 AM

That being said, Ted Cruz's beard makes him look like Wolverine, if Wolverine's mutant power was shopping for smartwool socks at Cabela's.

2024 orange level member flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

I've got a theory he's trying to go full Wade Hampton...


Feb 18, 2021, 2:32 PM

to try and overcome his foreign sounding name.

He's prolly gonna pass out blankets to the YUGE caravan of Illegal Immigrants headed for the border.

I don’t understand the issue with this. I mean the optics aren’t great, but tons of Texans are fleeing to hotels and other areas. I work with quite a few that have been hotel hopping.

Do you think Cruz needs to be in Texas to help with the disaster? He needs power to do any work.

2024 purple level member flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Of course you don't understand, lol***

Feb 18, 2021, 10:02 AM

So explain to me what the issue is? Aside from not great optics.

2024 purple level member flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Even if helpless, he should be in Texas trying to help


Feb 18, 2021, 2:03 PM

Cory Booker would shovel snow for constituents when bad storms came through NJ. Ted Cruz nopes out for a vacation.

While nobody will eventually care about the optics come election time, this is terrible leadership.

2024 white level memberbadge-donor-05yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Yes, he DOES need to be in Texas to help with the disaster

As an elected official, thats LITERALLY his job. Stop playing partisanship over something so clearly wrong.

Let's get over this "looks bad" childishness. If Ted was in Texas, what could he do to help the people there ? He is not an electric engineer. If he was passing out blankets someone would just accuse him of a photo op.

He might even be able to do more good remotely from somewhere where he has full power and communications. Cancun is a bad choice. Cancun actually is bad optics - he should have gone back to DC to try to coordinate relief efforts.

OTOH, all of you guys busting on Pelosi and Newsome should NOW shut up. You can't have it both ways.

This is the biggest yawner of a story and post, and shows you people have no idea what hypocrisy means...

Pelosi and new some situation were completely different.

Gavin newsome placed stay at home orders and didn’t allow restaurants to be open and then he went out and dined at a restaurant.

Ted Cruz has not been calling for people not to leave their home. If he was then this would be bad and he would be a hypocrite

Agree completely. Could have made a better decision on destination but who really cares.
