Social Ted Cruz Ditches Texas for Mexico

[Hadron90]

Tabloid nonsense, yawn. I suppose he should have stayed and used his magical powers to hold back the storm.

Is that Cruz's position? Will he be putting out a statement that says "What do you want me to do? Not my problem. I'm heading out Cancun".

 

[A Lurker]

Its funny that you bootlicking doesn't align with Cruz's position at all. Even Cruz would call your argument retarded.

Proud American is a fucking Russian pretending to be an American

No, that is my characterization. Other than optics what was the benefit of him not going?

Me calling out nonsensical fake outrage is bootlicking now?

thats friggin preposterous. We’ve entered a whole new world of crazy. I refuse to stand and yell about something that matters for nothing, and if I don’t join in the fake hysteria, it’s bootlicking.

great. People like you, are the reason Texas will go blue. No backbone. Playing the leftists game expecting to be able to win it, when they change the rules at a whim like Calvinball.

No not be a fucking hypocrite is all I asked, but hey defend hypocrites all you want that is your right, but where I am from, we don't defend hypocrites.

In 2014, Cruz attacked then-President Barack Obama for attending a fundraiser during a crisis at the border in Texas and said the President spent too much time on the golf course.
"I think the President should actually stand up and do his job as commander-in-chief, should spend less time on the golf course and more time doing the job to which he was elected," Cruz told reporters in Iowa in August 2014, when asked about the President vacationing in Martha's Vineyard.

A month earlier, during an appearance on Fox News in July, Cruz called Obama an "absentee president," who was "not focused on the people who are hurting."
"He's going to two major fundraisers where he wants to be with wealthy Democratic donors, but apparently, he doesn't have time to actually go and see the border, he doesn't have time to see the children who are suffering because of his failed policies," Cruz said. "Earlier, he was playing pool. Apparently playing a game of pool is a higher priority for this President than it would be to go and see the humanitarian crisis he's created.
I forgot Obama locked us down. Come on White Knight you can do better.

That’s an executive position! That’s precisely what I’ve been saying this entire thread!

What the fuck are you talking about?

LOL at him getting snitched out by his friends and neighbors.

Lets Trump shit on his wife and carries Trumps water, then throws his daughter under the bus.

You guys latched onto the wrong story of fake outrage. Sorry.

Sorry comrade, but the vast majority of the country seems to think that Cruz going on vacation while the people he’s supposed to represent are burning their furniture to stay warm is a bad look for somebody who’s supposed to be a public servant.

Even Cruz himself seems to have picked the “wrong side” since he flew back with his tail between his legs.

Any of you ever going to really say what it is Ted Cruz should be doing in Texas right now?

Coordinating with the Federal Emergency Management Agency on response to this disaster. Working on emergency relief legislation for when the Senate is back in session. Using his staff and connections to help people in his district who need it most.

Certainly not “flying to a beach in Mexico because his kids got a Snow Day.”

I will accept the answers like “shoveling driveways, handing out hot chocolate, or standing behind a Table handing out food” as valid. But there in lies the rub.

“The rub” is kind of pointless, since Cruz has a history of being a giant hypocrite on this very issue.

Ted Cruz has repeatedly slammed politicians for vacationing during crisis

 

[shockaholic12]

Senators aides are legislative aids. They have access to other legislators. You assume incorrectly that Ted can start getting ahold of executives and someone get things accomplished that couldn’t be done without him.

name any other senator who has done anything like that after a storm.

WTF are you dribbling about lol? Ted Cruz and his aide can pick up the phone and get in touch the politicians around the state with ease. He's one of the most powerful men in the state and that sway doesn't just exist in the voting chamber dummy.

He has millions and millions and millions of social media followers and simply by showing how his team has helped organize something like wellness checks on the elderly in his community he could motivate those in Texas with time and resources to invest them in helping those less prepared who are suffering in their community at this very moment instead of just going to get a pina colada in mexico and saying "stuff could get done without me".

This is the Ted Cruz who threw a bitch-fit when Obama canceled a border visit. That's whose nuts you're hugging.

Lol. Flying to Cancun as your state is embroiled in natural disasters shows a lot of backbone. Ted should be given a medal for his bravery.

And again, you desperate attempts at defense don't align at all with what Ted is saying. Did Ted put out a statement saying "Fuck the libs. I'm on vacation" that I missed or something?

 

[Hadron90]

No, that is my characterization. Other than optics what was the benefit of him not going?

Why isn't Ted using this argument? I haven't heard him say "What benefit is there for me to be in Texas" once. Ted in fact tried to argue that he was only spending a single night away and was hurrying back, while continuing to work the whole time. You and Ted seem to be telling me contradictory things.

I’ve said that once congress is back in session that that is precisely when Ted Cruz can spring into action! And he will. No doubt about it.

now he can sit in Texas. Bc that’s very important right now I guess. Is every single democratic member of congress in the state right now?

now the rule has been set by the leftist media. All elected legislators must stay where a storm, earthquake, etc has occurred. But we all know they won’t care when democrats do it. As we see 4 Democrat governors have killed thousands in nursing homes, and the media cares more about Ted Cruz being outside of Texas.

is Cruz allowed to leave when congresses session starts again?

Imagine complaining about people without a backbone while simping for Ted Cruz.

Oh Ted Cruz totally did that, and it was Glorious. Watching Trump do that to every establishment Republican was the stuff of heroes and legends

And now you do it for Cruz.

 

[44nutman]

Imagine being a CanCruz, stan.
Never thought I would see the day, but thanks to our totally shit two party system, that day has arrived.

 

[Snubnoze707]

Just when I'm at my peak of hating Democrats and their supporters the Republicans rush back in to remind me that I hate them just as much.

LOL @ defending Cruz for this. Bunch of CUCKS.

This is what people don't get the Pelosi's, Ted Cruz, Old White Guy Biden, Cuomo, Bushes are all on the same side of generations of wealthy political elite.
