When the going gets tough...head to Cancun, baby!

[Lester The Nightfly]

Texas Republican Senator and discount Wolverine cosplayer Ted Cruz decided right now ! is a great time to visit Cancun.

"As 3 million Texans shivered in the dark, Sen. Ted Cruz jetted off to Cancun with his family, outed instantly by fellow vacationers and berated by critics for abandoning constituents during an epic statewide power crisis."

If ever a politician needs to be recalled, he's the one. I hope this ruins any chance of him running for president ever again.

Maybe he should just retire to Mexico.

Whenever I see him I get a slimy feeling about him...

Did he take his ugly wife with him?

I thought Cruz is a lot of things but "fucking stupid" wasn't one of them. Damn, how foolish do you have to be to zip to Cancun during this?!?

[audiophile]

Paywall.

Anyway I think this nitpicking. He may have had this planned for a year.

I mean, If was John Kerry he would just flown the family plane and so no one would have known. #CarbonNeutral *COUGH*

Also, what the difference if he is in Cancun or Washington DC? His phone and laptop can work the same in both locations. He's not a line worker.

Very?

[Robert Faygo]

C'mon Audio.

International travel during a pandemic (which means he quarantines when he gets home, vaccine or not) by someone that should be leading by example is bad enough. I mean so much for sacrificing a little of your selfishness for a bit.

But then to leave while saying there wasn't much he could do about the suffering and dying of his constituents anyhow? What an absolute slimeball move. He's slimier than all the oil wells in Texas.

He might have had it planned for a year?? That's supposed to make it okay?? Seriously???

Is there NOTHING that a Republican can do to get your blame?!?

And let's bring up John Kerry now because it is so relevant to this topic.

"With school cancelled for the week, our girls asked to take a trip with friends. Wanting to be a good dad, I flew down with them last night and am flying back this afternoon."



Is there anyone dumb enough on this site to stick up for him?!?

Cruz is a complete and utter joke.

He's despicable. Sold out his wife when Trump called her ugly. Sold out his dad when he said he helped to kill Kennedy. Now, he's selling out his kids!!

How long before audiophile brings up Mary Jo Kopeckne for no reason.

[TC Talks]

The tickets were booked last Sunday and his return flight was supposed to be Saturday. He came back early and then tried to suggest that he was just dropping the kids off in Mexico.

So he's a slime bag and a liar and he got caught. For someone who's trying to be like Trump he needs to work a little harder at it.

[Honeyman]

“I have to admit, I started having second thoughts almost the moment I sat down on the plane,” Cruz said after landing back in Houston. “Frankly, leaving when so many Texans were hurting didn’t feel right, and so I changed my return flight and flew back on the first available flight I could take.”

[MWmetalhead]

What Cruz did was flat out stupid and seems to be an indication that he is out of touch with rank and file constituents.

He should be surveying impacted areas, doing a root cause analysis, and working overtime to mobilize federal resources.
