His state isn't suffering from a natural disaster either, it's a disaster of ineptitude. If the government had done its job, those people wouldn't be dead and the power wouldn't have gone out.

Yeah I don't get this either

He's not breaking any laws by going to cancun. Anyone who can get the hell out should get the hell out.

Overblown story.

Frickin Mattress Mac did more for the people than that weasel. And of course he blames his kids. Here's a great opportunity to show his kids an example on how to be a great leader and instead shows them how to flee.

his job is to vote on legislation, that's it. if hes not required to be in session, he can vacation wherever he wants

Can and should are wildly different things. Surely you recognize that something doesn't have to rise to the level of a crime to be criticizable.

This is my thoughts too. I dont get the level of outrage. He is a politician that is more responsible for what is going on than normal people but still...the idea that people have to stay in an unsafe and uncomfortable place when they have the means to not do so doesnt make sense to me. And Cruz is a POS that shouldnt be in office.

Are people going to cry when Rubio leaves Florida during a hurricane?

Cruz would be one of the first ones out there blaming a Democrat politician for doing the same thing.

Hes a disgusting human being and has voted no to providing federal assistance to natural disasters in other states.

And hes trying to gaslight people into thinking green energy is to blame for the energy crises in Texas right now.

wtf @ defending him

i do understand that. but the people who are criticizing him seem to want him to stay there for no particular reason. I ask, why is it his responsibility to be there, or what is it that him staying accomplishes practically, and there isn't really an answer. People just want him to be there because other people are suffering - which means they just want him to suffer too with no other "upside". The crisis will not be better/improved faster with him there, he has no control in terms of making it better, especially no control that he couldn't exercise remotely.

Did you miss post 21?

The Republican belief is that charity, not government, should be relied upon in times of need, but he's not willing to provide or assist in the former, either.

there's a bunch of vague suggestion that he could do stuff, but he couldn't think of them. it doesn't give concrete steps that he could take that are within the scope of his job, or what he was elected to do.

whether or not he went above and beyond his job to be some amazing leader is a different issue, but he's allowed to take a vacation if he wants to when he's not required to do other work for his job.
