Some hard core republicans I know are finished with Abbott and Cruz now, and really upset this was allowed to happen from not making energy companies winterize like they were suggested they do after the 2011 blackouts were investigated. ECOT has no power to demand they winterize.

As Cruz would appreciate how bad this would look and cancel, and stay home to help in any way he could.

Clearly I overestimated him.

This should be on ever TV in Texas for the next election.

been conclusively proven? I have no idea when those tweet photos were taken so I am a bit suspicious. As much as I can't stand Cruz, I have a hard time believing he would split at this point with his family in tow.

... what is there about this man that makes this hard to believe? Would you find pics of him delivering food to people who lost their jobs because of covid in his personal vehicle more believable? Now honestly, which scenario seems more in Ted Cruz' character?

I explained why in my post. "I have no idea when those tweet photos were taken so I am a bit suspicious." That's all. No need for pontificating.

Unless Cruz has an identical twin somewhere, that's Cruz.
