      This has to be one of the greatest political blunders of all time. Totally unforced, and you can bet that Robert Beto O'Rourke will milk it til it's dry in four years.

        Beto and a bunch of volunteers have been calling senior citizens to make sure they were ok. 150k were called on Wednesday alone. Many were found with no heat or food and volunteers were sent.

            @jon-nyc it’s almost like they had a heads up that Cruz was about to commit this blunder

              Right?

              Then again he’s constantly running for something so probably would never miss a chance like this.

                I can’t tell you how profoundly wrong all of this gotten. We are creating a completely toxic environment through this gotcha stuff and doxing people at every level.

                I can’t believe we have decided to shit where we eat to this extent.

                The damage is manifesting itself everywhere.

                        Maybe. But his kids only had the week off only by chance.

                          RESPEK. Even if this is done out of political calculations (and I am not saying it is), it is still a good and moral thing to do.

                              Doesn't he need a negative Covid test within 72hrs of returning? I mean before boarding the plane?

                                  He’s seems to have backed off the fairly ridiculous claim that he was just dropping off the girls. Also he and his wife have confirmed it was last minute.

                                  Cruz, known to double down in the face of controversy, was contrite in an interview with Houston affiliate KTRK where he acknowledged the gravity of criticism coming his way both within the state and beyond.

                                  I was trying to be a dad, and all of us have made decisions — when you've got two girls who have been cold for two days and haven't had heater power, and they're saying 'Hey, look we don't have school why don't we go, let's get out of here.' I think there are a lot of parents that would be like, 'Look, if I can do this great.' That's what I wanted to do," he told the TV station.

                                  "[But] really from the moment I sat on the plane, I began really second-guessing that decision, and saying 'Look, I know why we're doing this, but I've also got responsibilities, and it had been my intention to be able to work remotely, to be on the phone, to be on the internet, to be on Zoom, to be engaged, but I needed to be here and that's why I came back."

                                      Funny, Fox was the first major outlet to confirm the story Thursday morning they came out with it on Twitter before all the other MSM.

                                      But then crickets on their TV channel. (At least Thursday morning)
