If Ted Cruz was f**king dumb enough to jet off to Cancun for a vacation while Texas is having a major crisis....

@drawandstrike We need to place the blame on the problems inTexas on Biden. I am sure of Trump was still in office they would blame him.

Cruz seems like he’s media-savvy. Did he even spend one minute wondering how this was gonna look? I don’t mean just how THE MEDIA would gleefully cover his vacation during a Texas crisis. A lot of TEXANS are going to roast him over this, if the reports are accurate.

@drawandstrike how about the roast the entire Congress over never working? 121 days scheduled this year. Sickening.

@Skelldar He took the family to a vacation resort in Cancun. And he went them. I’m sure they all enjoyed themselves immensely. If you don’t see the problem, that’s your problem.

@drawandstrike I remember during the 2016 campaign, Ted was out of state campaigning and the state was hit by horrific floods. I don't know if he EVER addressed it. I kept waiting & waiting. I thot, way to lose your own state, idiot!!

@drawandstrike Having suffered through this nightmare, I can recognize you have a valid point. Frankly my family and I are blaming this on our energy company AND Biden (on principle). Guess I've just ceased to care about other optics.

@drawandstrike Cruz isn't planning to run for re-election in 2024, so I expect him to do what he wants to do with his family whenever he gets a chance.

@OneRandomGuy @AnalyticalNutLike I said, if somebody doesn't understand why it's a bad idea to jet off to Cancun for a vacation at a very expensive resort while the state they represent is in a crisis, trying to explain to them is a waste of time. A large part of politics is about optics. This is an own-goal by Ted.

@AnalyticalNut @OneRandomGuyYeah the whole "this doesn't concern me" thing might make you think Ted is cool, but optics drive political races. You do not hand your opponents an own-goal if you're smart. He'll spend a lot of time 'explaining' why it was perfectly OK for him to do this. And he'll still be losing.

@drawandstrike We texans know he is a greasy career politician who says and does about 50% agreeable things. He is a dick in person.Personally, I couldn't give two poops about what he does when it's cold.The ERCOT moron leftists are responsible, not the power plants. Power plants that were still online should have ramped up to full production to make up for losses, but they aren't allowed to due to EPA regs, and ERCOT refuses to risk EPA fines. I say let the EPA fine us, Texas will sue.

@drawandstrike It certainly IS glaringly inconsistent with his actions in the past, and makes ya wonder.Perception is reality where political 'optics' are concerned and obviously Ted knows that.I will be surprised if he loses any votes because of this in the next election though.

@Jonzingmen @AnalyticalNut @OneRandomGuy Listen to me very carefully. We **can't** effectively fight the Democrats if the people we're looking to lead step on their own dicks. What the hell are you even trying to say? "Pelosi got away with the ice cream thing, so shut up about Ted Cruz!"What an incoherent thought. Don't hold your own leaders accountable because the Democrats don't? We're NOT DEMACRATS. Am I making myself clear?

@drawandstrike I’ve seen this all day. If I had the opportunity I would have left on a tropical vacay too instead of this bs of no heat and no water. He was loyal to Trump so if he wants to vacay I’m ok. I don’t need to see optics in Texas like Beto is doing. Sorry Brian to disagree.

@drawandstrike Bad optics, it's odd given how disciplined Cruz was during the 2016 campaign. He competed with Trump to the end. I don't see the big fuss in this, but others do and politics doesn't revolve around me. It may cost him, but only in the short run.

@drawandstrike @Jonzingmen @AnalyticalNut @OneRandomGuy pretty sure any future Cruz had in the Republican party was finished before this event. If not, this will be sure to finish him off. After all, he barely beat Beto. Imagine that.
