It was retarded from an optics standpoint. The right thing to do is to take on volunteer work if you are in a position as an elected representative

He could have used that as a great opportunity to shit all over Biden and the left and expose their inaction. Instead he went on vacation, as if the senators don't get enough vacation time already.

"Remember when TX had massive flooding and President Trump acted within hours to help the people? Compare that to today, TX is in dire straits and Joe Biden is to busy playing Mario Cart with his crackhead son."

Right. Cruz was not only absolutely retarded to do this, it showed his total lack of self awareness as a conservative senator. It allowed the left to do what the left does. Dumb, dumb, fucking dumb POS. Primary this thug, he has no center. He is very dangerous for the Trump movement.

Stop being a faggot worrying about what the left thinks. He could have gone door to door personally delivering homecooked meals and blankets and they’d still find a reason to shit on him. We’re five years in. The left doesn’t give a fuck about good optics. Name a single time that has EVER worked in our favor. Get that through your skull.

Ahh yes, because good optics have worked SOOOO WELL for us in the past.

Who fucking cares about “good optics”? You guys will shit on Cruz for “apologizing” to the left yet whine about good optics & “ugh why couldn’t you have done the thing to make the left less angry!!! Now they’re going to write headlines about us!! Why can’t you do what I believe they would find acceptable?!”.

Maybe you’re new here, but good optics don’t work in our favor. They never have and they likely never will and it’s best you learn that sooner rather than later. Stop being a pussy worrying about muh optics when these people want you dead and your children in reeducation camps. Let them be fucking outraged.

If your options are "Bad optics and no real benefit" or "good optics and no real benefit", you always go for the latter unless your brain is as smooth as an ice rink. Don't let optics get in the way of getting shit done, but never abstain for the small investment required to create it. Its a time-proven political currency of unimaginable worth.

If you can create good optics, you create good optics. If there is no other way, then fuck it, you have work to do. But if all you have to do is cancel an already ill-advised vacation and lift some food packets, you shouldn't be a retard and just do it. Simple as
