Cruz calls Cancun, Mexico, trip 'a mistake' as Texans remain without power amid historic winter storm

Sen. Ted Cruz said that flying to Cancun, Mexico, as a winter disaster in his home state left millions without power or water "was obviously a mistake" and that "in hindsight I wouldn't have done it."

Nice weather in Cancun right now.

He blamed it on his kids. Shows what kind of an upstanding guy he is.

If I was raising kids this would have been a valuable teaching experience ... how not to grow up to become a rich, narcissistic and entitled, spoiled brat particularly when your job is to serve a public who elected you to represent and serve them.

Daddy, I'm cold!
Whaaaaaaa!
I wanna go to Cancun, with my friends, where it's warm.
Whaaaaaaa!

Take me too Cancun with my friends.

Exactly, but how much can one expect from a politician?
They don't set the best example for their children and so the cycle continues.

I expect more from the politician I vote for than from those I vote against.

IOW, I want to vote for the least-bad.

Snowflake, alone. I also feel bad for the security guy who has to stay in the driveway.

Maybe he has a pet sitter. Idk.

Nope, just the security guy in the driveway doing double duty according to the article. I'm sure he did his best.

Same.

He is disgusting but that’s typical of politicians. No different than the ones that demanded we not go to restaurants, not gather with family for holidays etc. Then they did the exact opposite, bunch of hypocrites.

The dog deserved better too.

Thank you.
He well may.
Not knowing for sure, I don't like pile ons.

How's about we stick to what we know fer sure .......... which, all alone, is bad enough.

What I know for sure.

... and he may have ensured that a dog sitter took care of their doggie.
Do you know otherwise?

Just sayin, rather, just askin.

Reading what @ItsMainelyYou wrote it seems as if they did the bare minimum. I’m happy to be proven wrong though. However based on his actions in general I am not surprised if the above is true.

 

[YadaYadaYada]

He had a security guard checking in to feed and take the dog out. I’m of the opinion that dogs need more than that level of minimum care. What if something happened to the security guard? Then the dog would be in a cold house with no food and nobody letting him out.

I’m all for not piling on but he did the bare minimum and it’s not good enough IMO
