Here’s how this conversation continues: I point out that this was already declared an emergency days ago, so FEMA and the money machine is already spooling up, and you move the goal posts to something else.

The money doesn’t move without Congress. Ted should be working. As I stated before, there are a number of productive things he could be doing, and he is doing the opposite instead.
Beto probably still owes community service for getting off on manslaughter.
Didn't Beto write a sonnet about running over children at a stop light or something?

When asked if the writings could hurt his campaign, Beto said, “It could.”

This stuff is like talking smack to tu fans by using historical records.O’Rourke ‘not … proud’ of teenage murder fantasy writing

So, does that make it cool that Ted ain’t doing shit while Beto is?
Did you not read the rest of the thread? Take a couple minutes and educate yourself, then come back.

I can't believe there are actual people on earth who call themselves Aggies that would defend a shitbird coward t-sip like Ted Cruz.
I'm embarrassed for you all. I'll get the address where you can send back your Aggie Rings.
Pathetic.

Problem is he knows he is bulletproof. Look how many defend that pos.
What’s strange is he is even lying about this. He told local news it was a last minute trip because the kids school got cancelled then told Fox News it was planned a long time ago. Obviously he didn’t plan long ago to pull his kids and their friends out of school for a trip to Mexico this week. He was too dumb to realize how bad this looks so now has to make up a story.

Hey kids, unfortunately I was spotted on the plane on the way here. It looks really bad and we’re going to have to leave.
Negative, Dad. You’re the one that needs to leave.

Headed there Monday to escape this cold.
I don't think it looks all that great since he's a politician. People look to them way too much, for sure. If he were a local State guy or city guy it would be worse.
But a US Senator can't really do much anyway other than to be here with his fellow Texans for support and observe how the State handles the crisis. That way he can help put pressure on people that failed.
Plus you know if he were at his home in Texas, that's one grid that wouldn't go dark.
So he'll catch heat since that's the nature of living off the taxpayer teat.
If he were a rich democrat liberal he'd be grilled for being an elitist and not caring about his constituents.
So everybody will go round and round with it.
That's a twist I haven't heard yet. I heard the part about kid's school being cancelled so they left, but not the that it was planned a long time ago.
Two different stories from 'Lyin' Ted?
Need to be smarter than that.
WTF does it matter? It's not like he's in the Executive Branch of our state government and the U.S. Congress isn't doing any legislation...so, recharge the batteries and prep for the next series of legislative battles.
Man, this thread shows why we can’t unite. Party affiliation has nothing to do with anything about this scenario save for whataboutism.
I love Ted, but he shouldn’t have gone. Even if it were only symbolic, he needed to stay. That said, he exerts an enormous amount of influence around here and could have done some good.
But I will also vote for him in ‘24 should he run. It’s not that big a deal.
I despise the leftist ideology, but it does “my side” no good to be incapable of a conversation. I would reserve that for the left- it’s their thing, let them have that MO.

I tell you, a couple months ago I got rid of social media, quit following politics and maybe check in on the news once a day. It has made me a generally happier person. Some of you people take political theater way too serious....on both sides....and to see the way yall get worked up about it is kind of sad....you can't change it and in the end it really doesn't effect your life much.
I hate Ted Cruz but don't blame him for going on vacation - it was already planned- good timing- Rag on that God awful beard if they need something
Agreed. I enjoy several of my lib "friends", but this is where it always ends up. CANCELLED
Politics is performative. Ted Cruz knows that, he's a smart man and this is why it is so surprising he left and went to a foreign country to the warm beach in the middle of the worst cold crises in Texas in at least 50 yrs. Could he have really done anything to help?- No- but he's one of our two state senators, he wants to be POTUS, and he should be seen as trying to do SOMETHING to help out his fellow Texans. So the point of all this- the point of the controversy he'll never be able to shake now- is that leaders lead, they're supposed to be good examples. He failed big time.
Maybe he can spin that he is escorting the Hondurans over in a relief effort.
Everyone does it and each side says only the other side does it. People who consider themselves a dem/Republican aren’t as different as they make themselves out to be.
You’re right about the optics/symbolism of it. He should know better. Odd that either he doesn’t or that he doesn’t care.
Right. I love his interpretation of constitutional law, but I've never liked the guy enough to support him.
C’mon man! Just get with the program and express some outrage. You don’t need to understand why.
Man I was with you until you hauled off and said this. I couldn’t disagree more.
remember how apeshit these guys went when obama wore a tan suit to a press briefing?
that was a big deal.
this is not.
because fair and balanced.

it's painful to see texans idolizing a lying, limp-wristed weasel.
that actually is news because she told people to lock it down but didn’t herself.
also fwiw I think it looks bad to bail on the state. I don’t think it’s his issue but I don’t love it.
