...makes sense. ...you know...if it's big enough... ...a jellyfish's sting can kill a human being. Anybody know how much weight 'ol Proud Boy Teddy's sloughing around these days?
LOL... shocked that a retrumplican would try to defend cruz by (1) suggesting he wouldn't be able to do anything and (2) trying to minimize it by call it a "so-called" natural disaster.
label me all you want, but tell me, what could of he done to save people from losing power? Doing a couple of interviews? You think he's the only one getting outta town or vacation during this crazy weather?
A lot actually. He has connections in Washington. Maybe some calls to FEMA? Being on the ground in his hometown being a leader? Like Beto is doing? There is a lot the dude could be doing. He is uniquely positioned to procure help and money for his state. And he tried to leave.
People can leave, or try to leave, when things get crazy. Sure. But when you're an elected official and you flee to another country, you're completely turning your back on the people who voted for you. Like @Major said, this is more than just optics. Use your influence to organize people to help out the less fortunate or something. That's one of the things you can do. People voted for you to make good decisions - not turn tail and run at the first sign of trouble.
So... according to the text messages his wife sent out... cruz was lying by claiming it was his kids that wanted the trip.
LOL. WTF was he thinking, did he think nobody would recognize him in his mask? So did the wife travel with them or not?
...that might depend on your definition of "natural". ...as in, Republican governing incompetence occurs so frequently and disastrously as to be considered natural for them... ...and a disaster for everybody else...
