Texas is not the greatest state and America is not the greatest country, Ted.

Crazy in head, crazy in bed.

Edit:

His daughters are 10 & 13, btw. Not exactly the age where "Cancun" is your top vacation destination.

A small part of me looks forward to Trump's 2-page statement ripping into Cruz this evening.

They should give Trump is twitter back for one night. And if he rips into Cruz, he can keep it for more.

The Times has the group text where the trip was put together. Newsflash: Ted is still lying.

Ted Cruz’s Trip to Cancún Draws Fire Amid Texas’ Deep Freeze

Text messages sent from Ms. Cruz to friends and Houston neighbors on Wednesday revealed a hastily planned trip. Their house was “FREEZING,” as Ms. Cruz put it — and she proposed a getaway until Sunday. Ms. Cruz invited others to join them at the Ritz-Carlton in Cancún, where they had stayed “many times,” noting the room price this week ($309 per night) and its good security. The text messages were provided to The New York Times and confirmed by a second person on the thread, who declined to be identified because of the private nature of the texts.

I bet Cruz hates a left wing nut like AOC is doing more for Texas then he is..

“left wing nut”?

Why didn’t this dumb shit just stay for the rest of the week and spend it tweeting about sunshine and chasing pussy? Anybody who would have been offended by that was already not going to vote for him. Everyone whose vote he is courting is going to think he’s weak for coming home. Talk about not having a plan.

That might have been true in and before the 2016 election, but at this point Dem voters are pretty energized to oppose Trump and Trumpism and I expect them to stay that way.

My worry is if Fetterman wins the Primary the AA voters won’t support him after the video of him chasing the black jogger. That is getting press now. I expect it to get more press going forward. Makes me wonder why a AA is now running instead of the party supporting the LT Gov.

I hope Fetterman comes clean about the incident. Up until now he has avoided talking about it or has given a bullshit reason.

And I know, I know... We're not breaking news or new ground with Cruz... But the fact that his first instinct was to cover his actions because "my daughters"...

It's just incredible what these fuckers will suck on and swallow to support such incredibly awful people.

Another major issue that folks seem to be forgetting is that Trump acolytes come with all the historically problematic issue of being extremists (they lose more often than not) with Trump not on the ballot in 2022. Huge turnout for Trump is not going to equate to the same turnout in 2 years.

I have to think a dude as smart as him who chose to hitch themselves to Trump has some kind of safe backing.

This doesn’t even crack the ten worst things Ted Cruz has done. Maybe not even the twenty worst.

Not gonna end him, but might as well forget about Rafael running for President in 2024.

I don’t even agree there, depending on situation and opponent. Like Hawley is a climber and Graham is leveraged; there’s something else with Cruz where either he knows he has a path or I’m vastly overrating his position.

Since the 2016 election, which is now quaint, Cruz has terrified me. He’s a horrific mix of intelligence, horrific stances and the willingness to totally shame himself for marginal gains.

Ben Sasse is the one that scares the hell out of me. He's got that 'aw-shucks' thing down (I bet he watches Reagan videos every night), and he didn't fully drink the Trump Kool-Aid.

Can we completely rule-out the possibility the Cruz’s were doing a “We’re The Milers” op, but Ted gave up on his real family half-way through and tuned CI against his wife and daughters? I mean there’s at least a 5% chance of this being true, right?

I doubt it. I mean, Texas is all sorts of stupid. I mean, this crisis is their own fucking deregulated fault, and the RW media is spinning this as a failure of green energy sources.
