He didn't cause the problem. He has no ability to solve the problem.
The people trashing Cruz for going on vacation with his family are trying to distract from Biden's failure to respond (instead he's playing Mario Kart) and who hate Cruz because he is a dad who is raising his kids well.
The left is angry at Cruz and his family because he stands in stark contrast to Biden and his fucked up brood of drug addicts, sexual predators and emotionally stunted grandchildren.
The thing he did wrong was to give media and the Democrats ammunition and bad optics. Any fool could see going to Cancun was terrible optics in this crisis. I thought Cruz was so brilliant but all I see was a guy who stabbed Trump in the back and I'm old enough to remember he was going to present the case in front of the SC but didn't. typical Deep State guy Yale or Harvard plus SC clerk now Senator who will be there until that asshat Beto beats him. Republicans don't know how to fight.
Cruz stood up and backed the House challenges to state electoral counts on January 6th. How is that stabbing Trump in the back?
If anything, he (and Hawley, Cotton, Paul) was stabbed in the back when Mitch threw them all under the bus in the hours following the Capitol incursion.
I respect your opinion and mine is different but I see him as all talk no action. Not looking for an argument but can you name 5 things Cruz has gotten passed that helps the Middle Class I just see him as just like all the rest. Maybe he stood up for challenges but that produced no challenges and no positive results. My personnel opinion is he would like to see Trump gone so he can make another failed run in 2024. Sorry in my opinion he is just not likable and gives off the I'm the smartest guy in the room attitude.
You nailed it as far as I'm concerned. Personally, I think he comes across as condescending and a panderer. The way he talks to his supporters makes me feel like he thinks I'm stupid and gullible. It's just his natural vibe, even if he's a genuinely good guy.
Whether or not he means to do it, that turns too many people off. He'll never become President unless he makes some deal with Dominion.

Dude. Stop giving a fuck about optics. In five years, “good” optics have never worked in our favor. Stop giving the left that power. Cruz could have been out of power himself and still going door to door handing people his own food/blankets/etc until he was left with nothing and inevitably froze to death and they’d still find a reason to shit on him because they do not EVER want to portray the right positively. They think Repuicans/Trump supporters would be better off dead and the fucking top comment here is “tow the line, don’t do anything the left thinks is bad!!”. When the fuck will you guys learn that the left doesn’t play fair?
Anyone worried about muh optics needs to grow a pair. And if you’re worried about doing something the left can twist into a bad thing, you have no fucking place to be mad at anyone for “apologizing” or “giving in” to the left because obviously you’d do it, too.
It makes me sick to my stomach that people here give a single fuck about optics when it comes to the left.
“Republicans need to fight!....by never doing anything the left disapproves of, even though the left never approved of us even when we do something good! Just submit and take your lashings but REPUBLICANS NEED TO FIGHT!”. “Fighting” doesn’t consist of constantly worrying about how the left will spin whatever you’re doing.
Absolutely pathetic.
This is what nauseates me.
Ted Cruz is an awful piece of shit, an establishment hack. i am happy the left is eating him up and just like the piece of shit that he is he bows down. When it's against Trump and his supporters he calls us "a stain on history".
Yet faggots here still cheering for that traitorous piece of shit. Cruz is a loser. Decides to go to Cancun while his state is in turmoil and suffering, cant cancel a scheduled vacation? What a fucking shitbag. The left isn't the only one that should be shitting on Cruz, we should all be doing it here.
Took the words right out of my mouth!
He did do something wrong. He apologized for going on a scheduled vacation.
If I could get up outta here and go to Cancun from this 15 inches of snow here in Michigan you would see dust flyin all the way to the airport. One thing for damn sure, I'm not apologizing to anybody for it either.
Just like when Condi Rice went shoe shopping during Katrina...
“sHE DoeSN’t haVE A sOLe!”
The people reeeeing hate him anyway. Remember the rule for these people, never Justify, Argue Defend or Explain.
Every single person here that is crying about cruz and optics is a cuck. These same people are pissed at him for “apologizing” to the left and are saying Republicans need to fight but look at their reactions to someone doing something the left disapproves of. Absolute pussies giving the left all this power.
Democrats can go party on the beach in Puerto Rico during a government shutdown that I hear killed hundreds of trillions of Babies Of Color, and that's fine to the left, but Lion Ted goes to Cancun and reeeee.
The Democrats control media and social media. Optics is very important because the many uneducated voters only see what they are given. All he did was load the cannon against himself
Are you high?
The left hates republicans. They will spin every single thing they do into a negative hit piece. You want republicans to fight yet you’re getting pissed off when someone on the right doesn’t tow the line and “ugh now the media is going to write a mean story about us!!! Wow thanks for nothing man!”
Never thought people on the don would be such cucks about the left. Jesus christ.
No I'm not high but I know teddy shouldn't have given the press and Democrats a ground ball to bet him over the head with it. Do we see the press investigating why there is no power or pictures of every move Ted and family do. Stupid mistake by Cruz
