Well isn’t this something…
So for those of you playing along at home, that’s Texas Republican Senator Ted Cruz boarding a flight to sunny Cancun, Mexico while tens of thousands of his constituents are freezing and without power due to Republican failures to weatherproof the energy infrastructure in that state.
The sad part about this is that no matter the human toll, Texas voters will probably still re-elect Sen. Cruz when his term is up, because if Republican voters are good at anything it’s voting against their own interests.
F this dude.
Make that hundreds of thousands, or maybe even millions of his constituents. And I wouldn’t be so sure about his success as a politician going forward. What’s happening in Texas is the kind of thing that can produce a political earthquake.
And SHOULD precipitate a political earthquake.
