No matter how many times you want to repeat it, he’s not in a role of leading Texas. He represents them in the Senate.
He can say he’s working, but there’s nothing he can actually do.
He’s just posturing for the cameras to head off the fabricated optics from the media.
Disgusting commie AOC is now giving the good hard working folks of Texas free money! She should know every Godfearing Texan would rather pull themselves up by their own bootstraps
Zantax and Guvnah keeps wondering what Cruz could have done. It must really chap a lot of conservative hides on this forum that AOC is showing them what can be done. Will they acknowledge this or will their hatred of AOC force them to deny this kind gesture?
Well, I can see it still using oil, coal, & natural gas
A Nostradamus you are not.
Oil will be dead in the next century, along with the internal combustion engine.

He could have done that in Cancun. It’s a separate argument.
Of course it is immoral. He was elected to lead. And now he has lost the moral authority to do so. He lost the right to even ask much less demand his constituents make sacrifices or even be inconvenienced for the greater good.
He knows he screwed up, he gets his nose rubbed in the pee puddle he made for as long as it takes. No need to defend him. He’s got to learn.
This, basically.
He could have done that in Cancun. It’s a separate argument.
Nothing says I’m not an out of touch elite like jetting off on a fabulous vacation while your constituents are dying of hypothermia and drinking boiled snow.
This is why nothing ever changes.

Guess we should shutter congress, all those people need to be in their home states helping the homeless. It’s the only moral thing to do.

Sorry, leading the state is not in the job description of Senator.
Running off to Mexico during a state of emergency is?
OK- I have to ask: Who are you and what have you done with @WuWei ?
I am the same person I’ve always been.
The Senate isn’t in session. There isn’t much Cruz can do for Texas while in Texas that he can’t do from outside Texas.
Brought to you by someone who has no idea what senators actually do.
Do you know why senators and congressmen go home during recesses? To perform constituent services. It’s like half the job as a politician.
After his idiotic decision to fly to Cancun what Cruz should have done was say it was an appalling lack of judgment, apologise for his decision and say he would try to improve his judgment in the future.
He did. But we’ll give your opinion due consideration.
This is why nothing ever changes.
What? Nothing ever changes because Cruz can fund-raise from anywhere?
Guess we should shutter congress, all those people need to be in their home states helping the homeless. It’s the only moral thing to do.
The dude who lost to Cruz is doing more than Cruz, currently.
Guvnah:
TommyLucchese:
Yeah the real bad guys here are his constituents mad that he’s vacationing while they’re boiling drinking water.
Well the ones who are actually mad about it.
Looks like Cruz is the next. “we go him this time” guy for the left.
He put the bullseye on his own back.

Sure. But you arguing there is nothing he should do as Senator. It isn’t in his job to do anything as he doesn’t run the state. You are right, his official job does not require him to do anything. Neither did AOC’s job duties require her to help Texas like she did. Perhaps Cruz lacks the imagination or drive of AOC.

He doesn’t need a vacation, he doesn’t have a job.
In his role, there is nothing he can do in Texas.
Yes, there is. He can push a dolly of water bottles. He can hand out coffee and soup on the gas lines. He can check on FEMA. He can help.

No, I am arguing going to Cancun wasn’t immoral, not excusing his lack of doing anything else. He could have done what AOC did from anywhere.
Says a lot about your leadership abilities when Robert Francis and the dancing queen are doing more for your constituents than you, their Senator.
