Hopefully the day comes sooner than later when people will stop simping for this uniparty goon. Cruz is hot garbage and it's why he almost lost to fucking Beto.
He lost my respect this week by not actually believing and hence defending in the actions he took. He showed tremendous weakness in his lack of candor and resolve.
Cancun Cruz wont make it another term much less making a run at POTUS. I didnt choose that namesake, he did.
That's terrific! Ted "The Dildo Collector" Cruz lost me at the 2016 Convention when he refused to endorse Trump. I would say he is a worthless bag of dildos except that a bag of dildos is at least worth something.
Ted Cruz is not eligible to run for POTUS , he is not a NATURAL BORN Citizen as the Founders decided in the Constitution . President Trump was right to question his candidacy . Not following the US Constitution is what GAVE US the DISASTER named Barack Hussein Obama , because he was not a NATURAL BORN citizen . We seem to NEVER LEARN .
Agree but their side hates this country and everything that makes it great. They're globalists who don't believe in borders. We believe in sovereignty and the Constitution so our side shouldn't be even considering people like Cruz or even Rubio or McCain types. For more reasons than just the one that is being discussed.
“in the eyes of early Americans, would someone born in a foreign country of American parents be a ‘natural born citizen’ and therefore eligible to be President of the UnitedStates?” The pertinent historical materials lead to only one conclusion: aside from children born to U.S. ambassadors or soldiers in hostile armies, the
answer is “no."
When my daughter and husband were born, in each case to 2 US citizen parents and on a US military installation, they still required a sort of naturalization paper from the American embassy in Germany or Japan before they could fly back stateside along with the passport. Now, when Congress said McCain was eligible to run for president I don't know if it applies to everyone or was just f6r mcswain. So he could lose with honor😒
Uh huh. Howsoever, when pressed during the primary of 2015 to provide his US birth certificate, this chud gave us his MOMMIE'S. BFD. Cruz was born on Canadian soil to a Cuban immigrant father and a DELAWARE born mother. Not eligible due to that, and due to choking during the important milestones. The 2016 Convention AND 6 Jan. Plus, excoriating President Trump for whipping up anger. FUCK you, commie Cruz!
Otherwise he's an AWESOME wordsmith. Typical lawyer.
Neither was McCain. He was born in the Panama Canal region which was US-controlled (given up by Carter) but never officially declared US territory. The 2008 election was an unconstitutional uniparty sham.
Spez: The installation was indeed declared US territory but not until after McCain was born there.
There's a difference between "natural born" and US cittizen. McCain was born on a US military installation but not within the United States itself. In order to dodge this issue, in 2008 the US Senate issued a non-binding resolution declaring McCain was eligible to run for President. Despite the constitutional provision, the Deep State protects its own.
The fact that McCain was born on a US military installation outside the US makes him a US citizen, but not "natural born" as required by the constitution.
He's been prepped for that Republican presidential candidate run. They might try to squeeze him out in 2024. And this could be one of those hotly debated bullshit topics both sides gossip/argue over.
Cruz showed who he is from 2015 - a desperate corporatist with some swamp creatures behind him.
He pretends to support MAGA and wants to straddle both sides of the fence. He is not about principles only his political position!
That's why they do not understand President Trump & his supporters. PDJT will ALWAYS have champions in his corner as people are fed up with political smoke & mirrors!!!
They are leftists of the Democrat party who actually play to win. Look at the fight Pelosi put up when she got caught mask down at the hair salon. Did not waver..one iota.
These people are like Ferrell cats. They dont stop until they're completely incapacitated.
He mentions it in one of his books. Something about them working twice as hard for your approval. I think the problem is that it only works with actual human beings not lizard people
Yeah it’s like people forgot that Lyin’ Ted backstabbed Trump at the 2016 GOP convention. Then he returned to true form calling Jan 6ers terrorists.
Everything I’ve heard is this guy has no friends. The reason he stomped out of the Bush White House and went back to TX is he didn’t get the job he wanted bc he didn’t make any friends on the 2000 campaign.
I’ll take his pandering if he votes the right way, but I’m not blind to his nature.
He cucks out to people that will always hate him then shits on the voters who would actually have his back against the harpies and soyboys in the media or the demons in the DNC. This is why conservatives will never win against the left if they continue to follow the GOP off the cliff.
Conservative politicians:”I hate all white nationalists and advocates.America is a nation of ideas not people.”
The same politicians:”do you know MLK is black.the Dems are the real racists.we love hip hop music.Blacks and Hispanics are natural conservatives.Ice cube and 50 cent are based.Cubans are too based ;they are better than Americans”
During elections,Blacks get their guns and vote for Dems while conservatives are voted by whites mostly even though the conservative politicians denigrate whites.The conservatives treat whites worse than the democrats treat blacks.
True. I guess conservative is wrong word to use at this point since I'm not even sure what they stand for at this point because they give in to the left so much. It's not even so much that I want "pro white" politicians. I'm just so sick of the right bending over backwards to virtue signal that we arent "nazis" and then get wrecked in the voting booth by the very people we are trying gain as new voters. The best we can ever hope for is 15% of the black vote while still using maga policies and maybe 35-40% of the hispanic vote.
I don’t need a politician to be pro-white but to at least respect them and talk about them positively.The politician just needs to tend to the needs of non-Hispanic white.
Hispanic immigration wouldn’t be bad if we actually control it;Lot of Hispanics are white.Hispanics and non-Hispanic whites in America can discuss and then we will arrive at a solution.It will be in the interest of both groups if America remains a majority white Protestant English-speaking country
Also, be very wary of his social media team that prowls this site. Always raise an eyebrow if you his is photo posted with a "BASED AF!" or "I LOVE THIS GUY" or whatever.
These chowderheads are like rudderless ships that are frantically trying to find out which way the wind is blowing so they can capitalize on it.
What is this link supposed to prove? I’m already on the post. All I see is a fake news article title about an “apology” that doesn’t exist and a bunch of leftist morons like yourself attacking patriotic conservatives just like Democrats want you to do. Congrats. You have been played like a fool.
It doesn't really matter. All of Congress is compromised by what has happened.
If a politician takes DIRECT action for the good of the Republic that is DIRECTLY AGAINST THEIR SELF INTEREST (harms their reputation with other politicians at least, financial or other pain is even better) then I will BEGIN to give them the benefit of the doubt.
Anyone who regularly goes and speaks civilly with the lying demons that infest the halls of power is suspect.
He pretty much exemplifies and embodies how the GOP has allowed the Democrats to destroy our country over the last few decades. Talking the talk but then bending the knee and cucking out at the first sign of resistance. Sucking up to the misleadia and other Democrats in a futile attempt to ingratiate themselves. Failing to stand by their principles and always willing to compromise them.
We will never win with such "leaders". President Trump blazed the trail and lit the path for the GOP and they still lacked the courage and righteousness to follow it. Fuck them.
These people just want to be popular in their chosen circles. They're narcissists. It's part of the reason they're drawn to politics in the first place.
Ted Cruz will do or say whatever gives him that attention and popularity. We saw how quickly he got on board with MAGA after Trump was inaugurated. The tell was how quickly he would go back to Lyin' Ted after Trump was gone. Now we know.
He's not a 100% MAGA representative, but he's better than most R's. You can basically tell how good they are by how much the left villifies them...and he's pretty high on the drive by media's hit lists.
It is like trying to reason with ISIS. No matter what you give them they still hate you and want your head removed. Ted is smart, but not street smart like Trump.
He stood by trump for the whole election fraud deal, and you can't say he cucked out on that because trump "conceded" as well. 2017 onwards, he's been one of the most MAGA-friendly R in the senate.
I don't see why you get so many downvotes when you are right. At the very least Cruz is not an enemy. I know people here are extremely angry at the government, but people need to calm down a bit. Don't get blinded by the rage.
Sooo, what has he done? He's is chubby, smarmy and full of deceit. He repels people from him. Conservatives are dumb enough to like him because he says things they like, but he doesn't do shit. What has he said about the demographic take over of Texas? Nothing. Why? Because he was part of it.
Donald Trump tried to teach them how to win. They didn’t heed the lesson.
I was just talking about this, like you read my mind. Never apologize to the liberal outrage mob. It admits guilt, it will never be enough for them anyway, and they’ve put you on defense. Cruz should have told them to go fuck themselves while drinking a margarita on the beach. But he’s a fairweather faggot.
He should have filmed himself listing all the Democrat mayors who traveled to Mexico while their cities were locked down while lounging back in a beach chair and sipping a margarita.
I dont have a problem with the policies Ted is pushing or the fact he went on vacation but he has an unhealthy need to seek the approval of the left.
I guess consider me part of the "liberal outrage mob", or something?
What Ted did was horrendous! Fine, send your wife and kids on vacation. But you keep your rear end in Texas and pull as many all nighters as it takes to fix the problem.
Unbelievable that we are unable to analyze this situation clearly.
The left would hate Ted if he cured cancer. Ignore them.
What do you want the federal legislator to do at the state level when the government isn't operating because it's a weekend
People like you are part of the problem because you have no idea what the local, state, and federal governemtns are supposed to be doing
Literally what could he do from Texas that he can't from mexico? They don't got phones and internet there??
Dummy
How about making a huge fucking deal out of the fact that FEMA and the Biden feds didn't give two shits about what’s going on down there? Bring some cameras and show them how bad it is.
For all we know he’s skulking around because he was had some part in allowing this to happen, either through negotiated deals with the EPA or allowing power plants to be built with systems that can’t handle ongoing freezing temperatures who fucking knows what he’s into locally.
They have a mess down there and it’s not all liberals fault.
The people who make excuses for Cruz are worse than the people calling him out.
The optics of his trip were terrible. This is my forté, so I know what I’m talking about. If you want your constituents to continue to vote for you, you don’t jet off to the tropics when they’re without power and freezing to death, in a once-in-a-century weather event. You stick around and do everything you can to help.
Misery loves company, if he wants to get re-elected anyway.
How is that a clear analysis? If he was a plumber and he ran away from a leak, sure, but he's a politician. He can call people and harass them from wherever. He's not some soldier who ran away instead of being in the trenches with you.
He's the manager at a plumbing company. Instead of organizing around the crisis and sending help, he nopes the fuck outta there. If your manager goes on vacation when there's a crisis leaving you to bend your back and do the hard work, would you still say the same thing?
I don’t know for sure. But I lost all faith in him when he backstabbed President Trump. My instinct tells me he doesn’t really work for the benefit of the people. I would love to be wrong though.
I can ask you the same question. How do you know he’s done anything in the middle of this crisis?
I don't believe he works for the people either. I think he's a politician who works for himself. As you say, he stabbed Trump in the back, but he's done many things that indicate to me that he is not genuine. He just likes the attention and being seen as an intellectual conservative heavyweight.
I can ask you the same question. How do you know he’s done anything in the middle of this crisis?
I don't. The difference is I'm not judging him for being out of state. If I knew for a fact that he left and didn't do a thing for Texans, then I would agree with you. The thing is that him leaving is not evidence of him not doing anything. Why would you buy into that idea? Did it occur to you that the media is targeting him and trying to give that impression in order to destroy him? The daily mail even put out four articles about him, one saying that he abandoned his dog lol. No evidence for that either, just pictures of his dog at his house while he was not there, as if he couldn't have paid someone or asked a neighbor to watch over him.
One thing I know for sure is that the media loves lying about people, and everything they print should be doubted. Maybe he was running away or maybe he wasn't, but I wouldn't believe that just because the media decided to focus on him.
Oh for sure, I'm not basing my "he didn't do anything" on whatever the MSM sewage "reports". That bit about the dog is just retarded, and even if its true I don't give a shit. I'm basing it on my instinct
Also, I'm not gonna come to the defense of some traitor who sold us out when we needed him the most
as I was heading down there, you know, I started to have second thoughts almost immediately. Because the crisis here in Texas, you need to be here on the ground, and as much as you can do by phone and Zoom, it’s not the same as being here
The man admits he made a mistake and here you are making excuses for his clearly irresponsible behavior.
Unbelievable. Try not to be a sycophant, really, it is embarrassing to see this kind of behavior here.
I'm no fucking sycophant, I just don't give a shit about what politicians do in their own time, because taking care of me and mine is no one's responsibility except for my own.
You're right. You're ultimately responsible for your own destiny.
But we are talking about a very prominent politician here, and a very publicized disaster.
So you are not a sycophant, fine, I believe you. But are you really giving the guy a pass here just because your hackles are up in defensive mode from leftist talking trash on the internet?
Dude got caught sneaking off at a really bad time. I'm disappointed by it, the left is laughing at in feigned horror, and even the man himself knows he stepped in it.
Nothing he could do in person would be any more effective than phone calls. It's not like he can go and add electricity to the grid by attaching clamps to his chest.
You must be a former Bernie bro or something. Why do you need mommy and daddy government to always be the answer to solve your problem? I truly don't understand the mindset of people like you. I have been through multiple major hurricanes, been without power for weeks. I have never sat there and thought what is the government going to do to get me out of this.
I simply can't even relate to that mindset. No it is not being some chad, it is being an adult.
Why isn’t Mayor Pete plowing my damn street? Secretary of Transportation should be in Texas insuring we have sufficient snow plows. How come Texas can’t get snow plows????
I don't understand all the hate thrown at him over leaving the state during an emergency. All he really has the power to do as a senator is yell at FEMA for their limp-dicked response.
He should've stood up to the mob, though. Really dumb move backing down.
Well, Don Jr was also contrasting him with Cuomo. Sure, Ted didn’t kill thousands of people by being an idiot, but he still appeared to be abandoning his constituents in their time of need.
All people really want to know is that he’s working as hard as he can to get them the help they need, even if he’s mostly impotent in the chain of command.
A lot of people here don’t seem to truly understand the importance of optics in politics, because what it looks like you’re doing is often far more important than what you’re actually doing.
AOC and Beto are organizing fundraising and taking advantage of the crisis for democrats. As conservatives we oppose government welfare so should be the ones supporting voluntary assistance. It just looks bad and will probably help energize Texas democrats.
Scum like AOC, Pelosi, Cuomo, and adulterer Omar, all do the same: They NEVER apologize for being wrong, they instead triple down after getting caught.
Cruz should have never, NEVER apologized. But F the maga base for piling on. Even Jack Posobiec lambasted Ted.
This whole thing about him leaving the state is so overblown. Is he the governor, a state legislator, or someone who works on the power grid? No. He's a federal senator. While it is his concern what happens to Texas, its not his job to lead the response. Would it have been nice if he stayed and helped? Of course, but he has a different job.
When most of your constituents are without power you need to be on the ground helping. Any citizen can organize food runs, etc. let alone a sitting Senator.
Yeah 100%. It would have been cool if he stayed and helped his neighbors, but it's not his responsibility whatsoever. He didn't fail in his duties by being out of state. And of course they are only asking about him. Is he the only politician who went out of state? Nah, he's just the one they want to feed to the outrage mob.
Am I missing the part where he apologized? Because I don't see an apology. I see a guy realizing he failed his constituents and trying to pin it on his children.
I hope he doesn't think for even a second the media would be asking the same questions about what Sheila Jackson Lee (who represents Houston) is doing right now since she has a (D) after her name.
Seriously I don’t understand why everyone feels the need to apologize and give into these lunatics fear tactics. The absolute best thing about Trump other than being the best president in our history he was unapologetic and didn’t give a fuck who whined and cried. That’s what a real leader does. We need more people like that.
Cruz deserves every bit of criticism that he is getting, first for showing his arrogance by taking a vacation during a state emergency and second, for apologizing for taking a vacation during a state emergency.
Nancy Pelosi accused a hair salon of a setup when she got caught doing a blowout while shops were closed down. Apparently she has more balls than Ted Cruz.
Then again when a representative of the state LEAVES THE STATE during an Emergency, of course that should receive bad press. He makes good money to do his job and even just to support Texans by coming out and surveying the area would have been better than to leave on Vacation.
Think about how your boss/manager/company owner would look if your facility was on fire and your boss was leaving on a trip without turning back? Same gig in a way.
You know how when there's an emergency at a plant more workers get called in and are expected to show up? Sure, you might say "but it's my day off!" but your management won't give a shit, either. I heard when the Whiting Standard Oil Refinery went up in flames in 1955, my grandfather may have been gone at work for a week straight or something like that.
He is too into his own image. I always felt when I heard him speak like he was acting. I mean every interview or video I've ever seen him in, even when Alex Jones ran into him coming off an elevator or whatever. He just goes into "Constitutional Conservative" Ted Cruz -mode and says whatever he thinks you want to hear.
I think he just wants to be liked and respected, but that's why he will never accomplish what Trump did.
Dude should've been at home suffering with the rest. Although we know his house wouldn't lose power. I won't blindly defend this clown. We all know we would've pointed it out if it was a Democrat.
And yeah, as a state senator, he should be out doing whatever he can. Delivering food or anything. Not in fucking Calvin. How about we get public servants? Shit, my ass ain't going on vacation to Cancun anytime soon. (Lol, autocorrect tried to change Cancun to Cincinatti. Sorry I'd rather work than go to fucking Ohioooo.)
Look, Ted fucked up. If he was already gone it would be different. I'm smart enough to know that most of what he does can be done remotely but if he lost internet in Cancun he would be useless.
This is probably an unpopular opinion, but to me it seems obvious Cruz should not have gone to Cancun, and so, therefore, there’s nothing wrong with him apologizing. He should be apologizing to his constituents, though—no one else. Seems fine to me that his wife and daughters fled TX for Cancun, but they did not Cruz to escort them there.
Lying Ted really messed up, his state is in the largest emergency facing Texas in as long as I can remember, and he goes on a fucking vacation, you have the idiot democrats laughing all over him and the Texas government for this mess about the power grid. He should have been, making calls, organising donations, getting people help.
How many times does someone have to flip/flop and lie, he is a leach/suck-up who is just trying to vie for the 2024 spot.
“If you killed Ted Cruz on the floor of the Senate, and the trial was in the Senate, nobody would convict you.” - Lindsey Graham
When they put that microphone in his face, the first thing he should have said is, "The President is the one that declares emergencies and generally goes to disaster areas. Why are you here instead of there asking him what he's doing?"
Senators can't do shit on things like this. It's all in the President's lap.
Fuck Ted Cruz. I want a MAGA candidate in his seat.
just like AG Barr... he's a good "speaker" (propagandist)
Hopefully the day comes sooner than later when people will stop simping for this uniparty goon. Cruz is hot garbage and it's why he almost lost to fucking Beto.
He lost my respect this week by not actually believing and hence defending in the actions he took. He showed tremendous weakness in his lack of candor and resolve.
Cancun Cruz wont make it another term much less making a run at POTUS. I didnt choose that namesake, he did.
Memo to GOP: You Cruz, you lose.
If you apologize, you automatically lost. It shows people that you know you are guilty.
I bet he's going to shave next.
You mean this Ted Cruz?

That's terrific! Ted "The Dildo Collector" Cruz lost me at the 2016 Convention when he refused to endorse Trump. I would say he is a worthless bag of dildos except that a bag of dildos is at least worth something.
Have you ever priced stuff at the sex shop? A bag of dildos ain't cheap....
Deep State / Swamp has dirt on Ted.
It's so easy to see who's owned and who isn't now.
wouldnt be surprised
Ted Cruz is not eligible to run for POTUS , he is not a NATURAL BORN Citizen as the Founders decided in the Constitution . President Trump was right to question his candidacy . Not following the US Constitution is what GAVE US the DISASTER named Barack Hussein Obama , because he was not a NATURAL BORN citizen . We seem to NEVER LEARN .
Either is Kamala Harris
Yeah, either was BHO and you see how much that meant.
Agree but their side hates this country and everything that makes it great. They're globalists who don't believe in borders. We believe in sovereignty and the Constitution so our side shouldn't be even considering people like Cruz or even Rubio or McCain types. For more reasons than just the one that is being discussed.
“in the eyes of early Americans, would someone born in a foreign country of American parents be a ‘natural born citizen’ and therefore eligible to be President of the UnitedStates?” The pertinent historical materials lead to only one conclusion: aside from children born to U.S. ambassadors or soldiers in hostile armies, the answer is “no."
Source: Conclusion Section https://scholarship.law.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=3314&context=lawreview
Seems that Cruz supports original intent when it comes to the Constitution except when it comes at his expense.
When my daughter and husband were born, in each case to 2 US citizen parents and on a US military installation, they still required a sort of naturalization paper from the American embassy in Germany or Japan before they could fly back stateside along with the passport. Now, when Congress said McCain was eligible to run for president I don't know if it applies to everyone or was just f6r mcswain. So he could lose with honor😒
Uh huh. Howsoever, when pressed during the primary of 2015 to provide his US birth certificate, this chud gave us his MOMMIE'S. BFD.

He's been prepped for that Republican presidential candidate run. They might try to squeeze him out in 2024. And this could be one of those hotly debated bullshit topics both sides gossip/argue over.
Good point. Did he think that maybe the trip wasn't a good idea but did it anyways???
Pretty sure he "almost lost" due to the fraud machine.
I agree. No way Beta almost won legitimately.
Cruz showed who he is from 2015 - a desperate corporatist with some swamp creatures behind him.

That's why they do not understand President Trump & his supporters. PDJT will ALWAYS have champions in his corner as people are fed up with political smoke & mirrors!!!
Ted is Mitch deep down inside. A rider of coat tails and a backstabbing whipping boy.
they are lawyers they get paid to speak and maintain a narrative they view it as a business
They are leftists of the Democrat party who actually play to win. Look at the fight Pelosi put up when she got caught mask down at the hair salon. Did not waver..one iota.

how has his voting record been?
TBF, He was One of a handful of senators that stood by Trump after January 6th.
Republicans are controlled opposition, the Washington Generals of politics
That implies the dems are the Globetrotters..and the globetrotters actually have a legitimate skill and make kids happy
All Republicans? Are you going after the label or every Republican congressman? Because the latter isn't true.
The party itself.
Do you see the party embracing trump, or Marjorie Greene?
No. Because they’re MAGA candidates, not republicans
Trump ran as a Republican. Marjorie Taylor-Greene ran as a Republican. Lauren Boebert ran as a Republican.
MAGA people can and do win Republican seats. We need more of them, not less. If we win enough Republican seats, we become the Republican party.
Fuck the Republican Party. When they let Mitch McConnell retain his leadership position after talking shit on Trump, they lost me!
Congrats. You get the Democrat Party and communism then. Friggin brilliant take!
You’re right sir. We are the Republican Party, or at least, should be! These cucks gotta go.

You gonna defend the Republican Party on a MAGA board? Good luck buddy.
And someone who actually wants to win. Ted Cruz is all show and talk.
He pretty much exemplifies and embodies how the GOP has allowed the Democrats to destroy our country over the last few decades. Talking the talk but then bending the knee and cucking out at the first sign of resistance. Sucking up to the misleadia and other Democrats in a futile attempt to ingratiate themselves. Failing to stand by their principles and always willing to compromise them.
We will never win with such "leaders". President Trump blazed the trail and lit the path for the GOP and they still lacked the courage and righteousness to follow it. Fuck them.
I don’t get how they’re this stupid. Everyone should know by now that apologizing just validates the bullshit and puts blood in the water.

These people just want to be popular in their chosen circles. They're narcissists. It's part of the reason they're drawn to politics in the first place.
Ted Cruz will do or say whatever gives him that attention and popularity. We saw how quickly he got on board with MAGA after Trump was inaugurated. The tell was how quickly he would go back to Lyin' Ted after Trump was gone. Now we know.
It also shows submission to the power-hungry leftist mob, which is ultimately what they want.
Because they're communists pretending not to be.
He's not a 100% MAGA representative, but he's better than most R's. You can basically tell how good they are by how much the left villifies them...and he's pretty high on the drive by media's hit lists.
P.S. But yes appeasing them and apologizing to them never works, it only makes the situation worse. Give an inch they take a mile.
It is like trying to reason with ISIS. No matter what you give them they still hate you and want your head removed. Ted is smart, but not street smart like Trump.
The left does this to every Republican. Look at how they went after Bill Barr and then sucked his cock when he refused to investigate fraud.
... Pence was next in line to Trump and look how that turned out.
How is he better? What has he done?
He stood by trump for the whole election fraud deal, and you can't say he cucked out on that because trump "conceded" as well. 2017 onwards, he's been one of the most MAGA-friendly R in the senate.
I don't see why you get so many downvotes when you are right. At the very least Cruz is not an enemy. I know people here are extremely angry at the government, but people need to calm down a bit. Don't get blinded by the rage.
Sooo, what has he done? He's is chubby, smarmy and full of deceit. He repels people from him. Conservatives are dumb enough to like him because he says things they like, but he doesn't do shit. What has he said about the demographic take over of Texas? Nothing. Why? Because he was part of it.
The left despise Mitch McConnell so this is a pretty brain-dead take tbh
Donald Trump tried to teach them how to win. They didn’t heed the lesson.
I was just talking about this, like you read my mind. Never apologize to the liberal outrage mob. It admits guilt, it will never be enough for them anyway, and they’ve put you on defense. Cruz should have told them to go fuck themselves while drinking a margarita on the beach. But he’s a fairweather faggot.
He should have filmed himself listing all the Democrat mayors who traveled to Mexico while their cities were locked down while lounging back in a beach chair and sipping a margarita.
I dont have a problem with the policies Ted is pushing or the fact he went on vacation but he has an unhealthy need to seek the approval of the left.
I guess consider me part of the "liberal outrage mob", or something?
What Ted did was horrendous! Fine, send your wife and kids on vacation. But you keep your rear end in Texas and pull as many all nighters as it takes to fix the problem.
Unbelievable that we are unable to analyze this situation clearly.
The left would hate Ted if he cured cancer. Ignore them.
Ted let us down. Again.
What do you want the federal legislator to do at the state level when the government isn't operating because it's a weekend People like you are part of the problem because you have no idea what the local, state, and federal governemtns are supposed to be doing Literally what could he do from Texas that he can't from mexico? They don't got phones and internet there?? Dummy
How about making a huge fucking deal out of the fact that FEMA and the Biden feds didn't give two shits about what’s going on down there? Bring some cameras and show them how bad it is.
For all we know he’s skulking around because he was had some part in allowing this to happen, either through negotiated deals with the EPA or allowing power plants to be built with systems that can’t handle ongoing freezing temperatures who fucking knows what he’s into locally.
They have a mess down there and it’s not all liberals fault.
The people who make excuses for Cruz are worse than the people calling him out.
The optics of his trip were terrible. This is my forté, so I know what I’m talking about. If you want your constituents to continue to vote for you, you don’t jet off to the tropics when they’re without power and freezing to death, in a once-in-a-century weather event. You stick around and do everything you can to help.
Misery loves company, if he wants to get re-elected anyway.
Why are you stealing a name from someone else?
specifically so that shill cunt can’t have it this site ever blows up
Wait a second. Are you my favorite YouTube guy or just a LARPer?
Read the article. He admitted that he knew what he did was wrong.
There's really not much more to discuss. He is aware he did something stupid.
i disagree with his assessment
How is that a clear analysis? If he was a plumber and he ran away from a leak, sure, but he's a politician. He can call people and harass them from wherever. He's not some soldier who ran away instead of being in the trenches with you.
He's the manager at a plumbing company. Instead of organizing around the crisis and sending help, he nopes the fuck outta there. If your manager goes on vacation when there's a crisis leaving you to bend your back and do the hard work, would you still say the same thing?
How do you know? You know for sure he didn't organize and try to get help for Texans?
I don’t know for sure. But I lost all faith in him when he backstabbed President Trump. My instinct tells me he doesn’t really work for the benefit of the people. I would love to be wrong though.
I can ask you the same question. How do you know he’s done anything in the middle of this crisis?
I don't believe he works for the people either. I think he's a politician who works for himself. As you say, he stabbed Trump in the back, but he's done many things that indicate to me that he is not genuine. He just likes the attention and being seen as an intellectual conservative heavyweight.
I don't. The difference is I'm not judging him for being out of state. If I knew for a fact that he left and didn't do a thing for Texans, then I would agree with you. The thing is that him leaving is not evidence of him not doing anything. Why would you buy into that idea? Did it occur to you that the media is targeting him and trying to give that impression in order to destroy him? The daily mail even put out four articles about him, one saying that he abandoned his dog lol. No evidence for that either, just pictures of his dog at his house while he was not there, as if he couldn't have paid someone or asked a neighbor to watch over him.
One thing I know for sure is that the media loves lying about people, and everything they print should be doubted. Maybe he was running away or maybe he wasn't, but I wouldn't believe that just because the media decided to focus on him.
Oh for sure, I'm not basing my "he didn't do anything" on whatever the MSM sewage "reports". That bit about the dog is just retarded, and even if its true I don't give a shit. I'm basing it on my instinct
Also, I'm not gonna come to the defense of some traitor who sold us out when we needed him the most
He admitted he made a mistake. He felt the pang of conscience.
Or looking at it another way, God spoke to Ted and reminded him of something.
And Ted listened, which is good. But he still made the initial mistake of fleeing a disaster.
The optics of a leader fleeing his constituents can not be understated. Under no circumstances is that acceptable behavior.
When times get tough, the tough go on vacation?
What about this is so hard for people to understand? Are you so blinded by allegiance to your "leaders" that you can not think critically?
Absolutely absurd reactions here.
Perhaps he's doing what politicians do when they see negative publicity.
I only follow God. Maybe that's why I don't have the same reaction as people who see him as their "leader".
Why? It's not his job to take care of the state at that level. That's what the state government is for.
Take care of your own damn self. If you don't have power for days on end, that's on you for not having a generator.
He admitted it was a mistake, read the article:
The man admits he made a mistake and here you are making excuses for his clearly irresponsible behavior.
Unbelievable. Try not to be a sycophant, really, it is embarrassing to see this kind of behavior here.
I'm no fucking sycophant, I just don't give a shit about what politicians do in their own time, because taking care of me and mine is no one's responsibility except for my own.
You're right. You're ultimately responsible for your own destiny.
But we are talking about a very prominent politician here, and a very publicized disaster.
So you are not a sycophant, fine, I believe you. But are you really giving the guy a pass here just because your hackles are up in defensive mode from leftist talking trash on the internet?
Dude got caught sneaking off at a really bad time. I'm disappointed by it, the left is laughing at in feigned horror, and even the man himself knows he stepped in it.
Yet you can't see a problem?
Not particularly.
Nothing he could do in person would be any more effective than phone calls. It's not like he can go and add electricity to the grid by attaching clamps to his chest.
Agreed, he could have sent his family along and stayed behind.
Watch out, here come downvotes from sycophants who lack basic critical thinking skills.
Ted is their leader and they will stand behind him no matter what.
Is anyone paying attention? I am starting to feel like u/Anaconda.
Well, anaconda is a moron, don't be like him. You're dead on here.
You must be a former Bernie bro or something. Why do you need mommy and daddy government to always be the answer to solve your problem? I truly don't understand the mindset of people like you. I have been through multiple major hurricanes, been without power for weeks. I have never sat there and thought what is the government going to do to get me out of this.
I simply can't even relate to that mindset. No it is not being some chad, it is being an adult.
Why isn’t Mayor Pete plowing my damn street? Secretary of Transportation should be in Texas insuring we have sufficient snow plows. How come Texas can’t get snow plows????
Mayor Pete is getting plowed himself, he doesn't have the time to waste on you plebs.
I bet there's some "snow" involved too!
Hunter Biden and Andrew Gillum have entered the chat.
KEK
I don't understand all the hate thrown at him over leaving the state during an emergency. All he really has the power to do as a senator is yell at FEMA for their limp-dicked response.
He should've stood up to the mob, though. Really dumb move backing down.
It's poor optics, that's really about it
Notice how the liberal outrage mob targets Cruz but none of Biden's horrible statements/actions the last few weeks
"bro I don't like Biden either"
Well, Don Jr was also contrasting him with Cuomo. Sure, Ted didn’t kill thousands of people by being an idiot, but he still appeared to be abandoning his constituents in their time of need.
All people really want to know is that he’s working as hard as he can to get them the help they need, even if he’s mostly impotent in the chain of command.
A lot of people here don’t seem to truly understand the importance of optics in politics, because what it looks like you’re doing is often far more important than what you’re actually doing.
Ya, stick to Aimpoint or Eotech.
AOC and Beto are organizing fundraising and taking advantage of the crisis for democrats. As conservatives we oppose government welfare so should be the ones supporting voluntary assistance. It just looks bad and will probably help energize Texas democrats.
There's very little towards him because he left. The hate is due to him having no spine.
It just looks bad. He came across as tone deaf
Looks bad to whom?
Me. His voters I assume. Everyone loses power and their Senator hightails to cancun....
If you had the option, would you go to Cancun?
Not if my people are struggling. A leader doesn't flee his people. His excuse is pathetic too, using his kids as a shield.
Scum like AOC, Pelosi, Cuomo, and adulterer Omar, all do the same: They NEVER apologize for being wrong, they instead triple down after getting caught.
Cruz should have never, NEVER apologized. But F the maga base for piling on. Even Jack Posobiec lambasted Ted.
Fuck their 666reat reset and everyone helping to bring it about.
This whole thing about him leaving the state is so overblown. Is he the governor, a state legislator, or someone who works on the power grid? No. He's a federal senator. While it is his concern what happens to Texas, its not his job to lead the response. Would it have been nice if he stayed and helped? Of course, but he has a different job.
When most of your constituents are without power you need to be on the ground helping. Any citizen can organize food runs, etc. let alone a sitting Senator.
He's a coward for running away.
Yeah 100%. It would have been cool if he stayed and helped his neighbors, but it's not his responsibility whatsoever. He didn't fail in his duties by being out of state. And of course they are only asking about him. Is he the only politician who went out of state? Nah, he's just the one they want to feed to the outrage mob.
NEVER APOLOGIZE
Am I missing the part where he apologized? Because I don't see an apology. I see a guy realizing he failed his constituents and trying to pin it on his children.
I hope he doesn't think for even a second the media would be asking the same questions about what Sheila Jackson Lee (who represents Houston) is doing right now since she has a (D) after her name.
I will spend as much time defending Cruz as he spent defending Trump (and us) after January 6th.
I see what you did there
Fuck ted cruz
He's a Uniparty cuck and always has been.
Fuck lying Ted. He blamed trump for the riot that antifa planned and called everyone their a terrorist. Dead to me.
Seriously I don’t understand why everyone feels the need to apologize and give into these lunatics fear tactics. The absolute best thing about Trump other than being the best president in our history he was unapologetic and didn’t give a fuck who whined and cried. That’s what a real leader does. We need more people like that.
Cruz deserves every bit of criticism that he is getting, first for showing his arrogance by taking a vacation during a state emergency and second, for apologizing for taking a vacation during a state emergency.

Ted Cruz!
That faggit called MAGA terrorists. He can suck ALL the dicks!
Is he apologizing to the left? I don't think so. I think he's apologizing to the Texan people for bailing out during the storm.
Very poor judgement by Senator Cruz at a time when his STATE was suffering.
Nancy Pelosi accused a hair salon of a setup when she got caught doing a blowout while shops were closed down. Apparently she has more balls than Ted Cruz.
Then again when a representative of the state LEAVES THE STATE during an Emergency, of course that should receive bad press. He makes good money to do his job and even just to support Texans by coming out and surveying the area would have been better than to leave on Vacation.
Think about how your boss/manager/company owner would look if your facility was on fire and your boss was leaving on a trip without turning back? Same gig in a way.
You know how when there's an emergency at a plant more workers get called in and are expected to show up? Sure, you might say "but it's my day off!" but your management won't give a shit, either. I heard when the Whiting Standard Oil Refinery went up in flames in 1955, my grandfather may have been gone at work for a week straight or something like that.
Yeah don't give in. They need someone to hate without trump. Don't be it.
Tell em 'hey fuck you'
He is too into his own image. I always felt when I heard him speak like he was acting. I mean every interview or video I've ever seen him in, even when Alex Jones ran into him coming off an elevator or whatever. He just goes into "Constitutional Conservative" Ted Cruz -mode and says whatever he thinks you want to hear.
I think he just wants to be liked and respected, but that's why he will never accomplish what Trump did.
Now he's Flyin' Ted circling back with his tail between his legs.
Dude should've been at home suffering with the rest. Although we know his house wouldn't lose power. I won't blindly defend this clown. We all know we would've pointed it out if it was a Democrat.
And yeah, as a state senator, he should be out doing whatever he can. Delivering food or anything. Not in fucking Calvin. How about we get public servants? Shit, my ass ain't going on vacation to Cancun anytime soon. (Lol, autocorrect tried to change Cancun to Cincinatti. Sorry I'd rather work than go to fucking Ohioooo.)
Lyin Ted. I’ll never forgive him for the lies he tried to spread about Trump.
Doesn't really seem like an apology to me. Just seems good governance to make sure you're on the ground in an emergency
Wasn't much of an apology that is for sure.
But would he have stayed there if the media wasn't in his grill about it, odds are yes he would have.
He caved to pressure. Didn't apologize, just caved.
Yet the media never remembers during other crisis' when democrats were no where to be found...
Shit, it isn't even an apology, he blamed his kids. He blamed his wife in another statement. Who does that?
Cruz is a spineless pussy
Look, Ted fucked up. If he was already gone it would be different. I'm smart enough to know that most of what he does can be done remotely but if he lost internet in Cancun he would be useless.
This is probably an unpopular opinion, but to me it seems obvious Cruz should not have gone to Cancun, and so, therefore, there’s nothing wrong with him apologizing. He should be apologizing to his constituents, though—no one else. Seems fine to me that his wife and daughters fled TX for Cancun, but they did not Cruz to escort them there.
I emailed him
?? I don't see this as apologizing. Flying back is the right thing to do. If anything it make the Left look stupid for fixating on this.
Fuck him.
He is just a worthless Cuck. His time has passed.
I still can't believe how dumb of a move he decided to make.
Yup! This is the problem. Horrible optics
ted cruz went back to his role just like everybody else did in this play now that the non actor is gone
Lying Ted really messed up, his state is in the largest emergency facing Texas in as long as I can remember, and he goes on a fucking vacation, you have the idiot democrats laughing all over him and the Texas government for this mess about the power grid. He should have been, making calls, organising donations, getting people help.
How many times does someone have to flip/flop and lie, he is a leach/suck-up who is just trying to vie for the 2024 spot.
“If you killed Ted Cruz on the floor of the Senate, and the trial was in the Senate, nobody would convict you.” - Lindsey Graham
Ted is a cuck. Always has been. Had me fooled for a while though.
He's an actor. His daughter knows..
Please stop thinking rinos are good candidates.
Ted Cruz is a fucking opportunist. Always has been. Always will be. MAGA is a product to faggots like Cruz.
Just giving fodder for commies to crucify you. What a idiot to bow down to mob pressure.
Ted "Let Them Eat Snow" Cruz has to be screwing up on purpose. Surely he isn't that stupid.
Sorry but he is a cuck.
When they put that microphone in his face, the first thing he should have said is, "The President is the one that declares emergencies and generally goes to disaster areas. Why are you here instead of there asking him what he's doing?"
Senators can't do shit on things like this. It's all in the President's lap.
What the fuck Ted. Are you so fucking stupid you flying to Mexico? Piss of you fuck fart. We need real man on his position.
LYING TED
Or don’t leave on vacation to a tropical when people are dying under your watch.
All politicians are the same - they don’t give a fuck about you
Remember all those time the left apologized being evil? Lol yeah me either
