One of the headlines is something to the effect, "Cruz Flies to Mexico as Texans Freeze." Perhaps he can affect the weather. If only he hadn't accompanied his family to Cancun, by golly, the temperatures in Texas would have soared to at least the mid-60s and no one would be freezing. Who knows what impact that <24 hour grip had on the temperature.
I still follow my hometown newspaper's FB page and I've been asking the Cruz bashers on there this simple question.
Are you this concerned with what the other members of the Texas delegation to DC is doing right now? Where's Cornyn? What is the representative from your Congressional District doing during the storm that has the state locked down? Are you down at your Reps local office demanding he do something about a state issue?
No honest answers and a ton of deflection from anyone I've asked that question.
And honestly that question could be asked of anyone in here who's state is in the grip of this storm who is bashing Cruz and biting their fist over "optics".
I don't give two sh*ts about optics. And unnatural and unhealthy obsession with optics is what's de-nutted the Republican party.
Instead of Conservatives and Republicans standing up for the man for taking care of his family and getting them to a warmer and safe climate...we've got so-called Conservatives and Republicans clutching their pearls so hard it's leaving bruises on their neck over "optics".
No wonder the Dems run the show in DC whether they are the majority or not.
