@jon-nyc Regarding number four.
There have been several occasions where I have traveled away from home and left our dog. We had someone come in and take care of him while we were away with walks and feedings.
Cruz did the same thing.
So the outrage can be turned down by about 25 to 30%

You probably had heat.
He has a fireplace and was able to heat that room.
And BTW, I saw Cruz interviewed on FOX Thursday.
Did he make a mistake? Yep. Did he correct his mistake? Yep.
It ain't like saying he voted to rejoin the Paris Climate Accord or opened the border to illegals.

Smart for a poodle.
If you've got somebody looking after the dog, I assume they can build a fire, although poodles are supposedly pretty sharp.

See my opening post in the thread.
As I said, this was politically stupid and the optics are bad. But, from a practical standpoint, how did his trip really affect Texans rather than causing an outrage?
The same legacy media that cared not a whit that Austin’s Democrat Mayor Steve Adler was in Cabo San Lucas while officiously demanding his subjects hide their faces behind masks on Thursday descended on Ted Cruz.

I think you need to add the ".com" to those searches.
You're right. My bad.
New York Times on Cabo and Mayor Adler:
CNN - 1 story:
CNN on Newsom - 3 stories:
The NY Times had more stories.
Now, compare CNN's Coverage of Cruz in the last 36 hours:

My shock over this isn't that Ted Cruz was so heartless that he took a holiday in the middle of a crisis.
It is that he was so dumb that he thought it wouldn't get sprayed all over the media, and make him look like a complete turd.

And, quelle horreur!, it's blinding obvious to even the most rabid Leftist, that Cruz's roundtrip was logarithmically worse than anything a mere Leftist could do...

The whole article just reads very gossipy.

Or has a Chinese spy as a chauffeur.
Or has a Pakistani IT person.
Fine to discriminate against a spy, but it is illegal and immoral to discriminate against a chauffeur or an IT person or a First Lady for his or her country of origin.
