Ted Cruz has a knack for making bad situations worse. This week, he did it again. A major scandal erupted when when Ted and his wife, Heidi, were photographed taking a flight from Houston to the balmy tropical shores of Cancun, Mexico. This would not be news but for the inconvenient fact that Ted Cruz is a United States Senator representing the State of Texas and Ted was caught fleeing Texas during the middle of the worst natural disaster to hit Texas in his lifetime, a storm that left the entire state in the deep-freeze, compounded by an unnatural disaster whereby the states isolated, obsolete, underregulated, privatized electrical grid epically failed, leaving many millions of Texans without electricity, heat or running water in subzero temperatures for days on end, with many dying in their own homes as a result. Under the circumstances, it is hardly surprising that a lot of Texans were more than a little upset when the news of the Cancun bound Cruz broke.
When caught, Ted attempted to act empathic to his constituents but, being Ted Cruise, couldnt help but solicit for sympathy for his own plight. He alleged said, This has been an infuriating week for Texans. The greatest state in the greatest country in the world has been without power. We have food lines, gas lines, and people sleeping at the neighbors houses. Our homes are freezing and our light are out. Like millions of Texans, our family lost heat and power too."
Ted tried to explain that he was not abandoning his constituents in the frozen heatless tundra to luxuriate on balmy tropical beaches in Cancun. Rather, he was just being a good dad. "With school cancelled for the week, our girls asked to take a trip with friends. Wanting to be a good dad, I flew down with them last night and am flying back this afternoon. www.dailykos.com/ Ignore the later return date on his original roundtrip ticket; thats fake news.

In texts confirmed by two people on the text message chain, Heidi Cruz invited neighbors along for the getaway from her freezing home. Anyone can or want to leave for the week? We may go to Cancun, she reportedly wrote early Wednesday, mentioning a direct flight and hotels w capacity. Seriously. COVID test to come back which we will take there, she continued.

Just resign, Ted. You're only digging in deeper. Do you really think you're father of the year?

You've been embarrassing yourself for years, but this is painful to watch. Actually, it's a joy to behold, but you get the idea. Surely even you must feel even a smidgen of shame over your actions and lies. Please give us a sign that you realize that you really stepped in it this time. And don't even think about running for president again. Ted, no one likes you.
