I saw that this morning. It takes a lot to shock me these days but I was genuinely, sincerely shocked.
I hope his constituency turfs him finally. Meanwhile Beto is running a volunteer operation to check on elderly Texans and connect them to heat and food.

Bet the citizens of Texas vote for him again in 4 years. They wanted him more than Beto, they got him. This apparently is what the majority of voting Texans want. And what really sucks is that he impacts the whole nation in the Senate as a vocal supporter of lies and insurrection.

I’m sure his constituents are like “well, I’d go away if I could” and don’t blame him. And he knows it. So he went.
I hope they call for his head on a spike, but he won’t take away their guns, so they won’t.

If I had posted an article like that about a democrat that was full of nothing but speculation I’d be attacked viciously.
Come back when you have actual facts instead of mere rumors.

The article is from Newsweek. Not the National Enquirer or Fox News so likely based more in fact than fiction. But it would also appear that is has been confirmed as one tweet by a journalist is quoted in the same article. Maybe all the sources that journalist relies on are lying. I doubt it. If it makes you feel better to attack me while Cruz abandons his constituents, okay. I have family and friends in Texas. I'll stick to being outraged at the elected officials who have done them a major disservice. |

If this is a rumor, Ted Cruz could come right out and squash it. Why hasn't he done that? People are tagging him all over the place on Twitter. He has to be aware.

The article from Newsweek does not have confirmation from Ted Cruz that he is traveling, but it does have confirmation from multiple people who were on the plane from TX to Cancun who identified Cruz and his family as being there.
So, not a rumor. Just because Ted won't confirm it doesn't mean it isn't true.

I really don't understand why you still post on some of these threads. You never contribute anything at all. Why not?
If Cruz really is in Cancun right now, would you agree, lindas, that is a realllllyyyyyyy shitty thing to do when the people of his state are suffering so?

I mean the fact is, if this wasn’t true it would be the easiest thing to refute.

Ted Cruz flew to Cancun, Mexico, with his family this week as Texas dealt with a winter storm that left millions without power, Fox News has confirmed. |

At the risk of waxing eloquent, I feel that Democrats tend to hold their fellow Democrats accountable and would be outraged if our elected officials skipped town during a crisis of this proportion. A thought. |

Ted Cruz flew to Cancun, Mexico, with his family this week as Texas dealt with a winter storm that left millions without power, Fox News has confirmed. , please see the above link. Fox News should be a good enough source. Now that you see that it is true, what do you think about Cruz leaving Texas for Mexico right now? What is your opinion of a GOP Senator abandoning his state in the middle of an emergency? Or did you just come here to try to dispute and deflect from the truth? |

Now that’s he’s been caught he’s apparently heading back
Can’t wait to see what kind of spin he tries to put on this. “Fact finding mission to figure out why Cancun is warmer than Houston - clearly a liberal plot!”

That is consequence-free thinking, my friends. That is how the GOP would like to be able to behave ALL THE TIME. He got caught this time. There is a hue and cry this time. But if Cruz and his GQP buddies had their way, they would be like the Roman emperors who can ALWAYS act w/o consequence. Above the rules and norms that the "little people" have to abide by. |

I hope you're a 1%'er because eventually you'll be affected by the people you continue to vote for...the people who don't have your best interests at heart. The republican party would like nothing more than to see the whole country run like Texas. When that happens I'm sure you'll be screaming for help from the government. It's all a handout until YOU need it. |
