It’s an old newsroom axiom that “if it bleeds, it leads.” That may have been true in the age of the New York Herald and James Gordon Bennett but this is 2021 and it’s the age of digital news. Lead stories are now wholly dependent on whose ox is being gored and what their party affiliation might be. If the gored ox is Republican, you can bet it will be the lead story every hour on the hour.
Ted Cruz made the dumbest political move of his life by leaving Texas to go to Mexico while a cold snap made lives miserable for voters.

Big deal about Cruz going to Mexico. He is a member of congress, not the governor. Not much he can do about the mess that two governors imposed on Texas, thanks to caving to democrats. I have no problem with Cruz going to someplace warm with his family. Moran is starting to sound like his liberal brother Terry, who fancies himself as the mouth of the people.
Know what else Rick? Those voters weren't prisoners. They could have gone to warmer climes as well. Like Florida or Georgia.

There was a lack of electricity. Everyone that can leave town and thus reduce their use of electricity should do so as the best policy to help those who must stay. Cruz should be congratulated for his compassion.

There wasn't a flip'n thing Cruz could have done in that situation. It's a STATE matter, not a Federal one! Leave it to Gov. Abbot and the State Legislature to deal with it. Demonrats are just non-stop hate machines.

Cruz has no authority to do anything. He is a Senator.

Democrats and the media must never be allowed to forget that they defended Ted Kennedy to the last guy who let a girl drown and ran away, after that they have no right to demand anybody’s resignation. Every Republican should always answer —- Ted Kennedy.

Oh pleeze. They have been waiting to hang something on Cruz for a long time. Anything to slander a Republican who wants to remain in politics.
I really wish the GOP would retaliate on the nonsense.

If you are a Demon-Rat, you can rape a 96-yer-old grandmother in a wheelchair in the middle of Times Square and have it shown on the big screens there, and if you apologize, then all is forgiven.
But if you are a Republican, and it was discovered that you spit some chewing gum on the sidewalk when you were 6, your career is over and you will never be able to show your face in public again.
Sadly, the examples above are not much of an exaggeration in our current political climate!!!

If Cruz and his family had stayed in DC after the Senate adjourned and during the period that the ice and snow storm hit Texas we never would have heard about that fact. Cruz is a member of the US Senate and if he had been in Texas there is nothing that he could do himself to ameliorate the weather situation there. Today you can bet that just about everyone residing in Texas wishes that they had pre booked a trip to Cancun just as Cruz’s wife is reported to have done. The liberal media should give it a break.

I don't understand the outcry??? Cruz is a senator. He has no authority for the management of TX....that is Abbott. So, who cares if Cruz went on vacation outside the U.S. during an ice storm. I'm not getting it. The Governor of TX was there managing everything.
If they are looking for Senators that turned their backs on their constituents during a crisis in his/her state, then lets look at Schumer and Hillibrand. Where were they during the riots, burning and looting of NYC, where were they during the murder of all those innocent elderly during the COVID lockdown, where were they during the mismanagement of NY that so many people lost their jobs because of the crazy lockdown rules placed on their businesses by a demented Governor and Mayor and where were they when all those law enforcement officers were murdered by the savages roam NYC streets.

PJ Media nuff said. Don't fault a senator for leaving it's his choice like any other Texan could. Now if Cruz was responsible for all the wind and solar power in the past that's another subject. Search out the past architects of the energy disaster that's the real criminals along with the EPA.

Ted Cruz provided the ugly, bitter hags on The View with enough discussion material for an entire week. I would think they would thank him.

Cruz's biggest mistake was to answer to the mob. He saw that the MSM was making a mountain out of a molehill and he should not have responded. At. All. Apologizing and changing his story was a huge mistake. He's going to pay for that. I thought he was smarter than that.
