Is there something wrong with me? It's not like taking them there means he has to stay there or can't do anything. It's also not like he can just snap his fingers and make something happen.

? Biden activated FEMA and gave disaster relief.
It pisses me off that the senile puppet is doing more than Cruz and the GOP.
That's how bad things are.
What precisely do you want him to do that isn't just talking and virtue signaling? What is it you're expecting a Senator to be able to do to fix any of this?
Is he supposed to take a heat gun and go thaw out frozen pipes?
If Biden authorized FEMA to help, then that's all there is to what Cruz can do. There's no need to pressure Biden because the help is already authorized, and everyone inside Texas is already working on this shit.
Return to Texas, appeal to non-Texas GOP for aid.
Trump hunkered down in Florida during Dorian. He appealed to conservatives nationwide to help in Louisiana, and they did.
A role model has been available for years. Your use of virtue signaling needs to be better defined.
So, again, your answer is to say "Please help" as if the entire state government and FEMA aren't already mobilized.
They're already helping. They can't help any harder. Him putting out a public plea for help or w/e is nothing more than emotional masturbation. It would accomplish nothing outside of making people like you say "Oh, I'm glad he cares". That's the definition of virtue signaling; showing how much you care about something for no other reason than to show how much you care. Nothing Cruz could say would cause any material changes in the response from any level of government.
Instead, Cruz did the smart, realistic thing, and allowed the professionals to do their jobs without him looking over their shoulders and carried on with his plans.
I think it's insane. People are acting as though he has to disconnect the power to his house and sit in the cold along with everyone else or he's not doing his job.
Nope, and your constant attempt to rephrase what is directly stated informs me that I'm talking to a liberal.
Lick the swamp GOP boots.
Cruz could have appealed to other Republicans like Trump did and directly got involved or made himself available to be involved. Instead, he pulled a Pelosi.
Donate your cuckcage key to the GOP.
Yeah he activated FEMA 5 days too late. They should have BEEN in Texas before this happened. I live in Houston and I'm sorry, but if you have lived here your entire life, hell even 10 years, you should know by now to prepare for any event without help from anyone except yourself. I personally don't care where he was going to vacation. He couldn't have done shit to fix the situation in the moment. We need more nuclear/coal plants. What was he supposed to do?
