How did CNN get a copy of a text from Ted Cruz's wife to him about going
to Cancun?
I thought only the sender and the receiver saw texts.


Cruz has, maybe every chance he had, criticized people who left town
when they shoudln't. The mayor of Austin who went to Mexico, Chris
Christie for going to the beach, and one other time that made the news.


A woman called into CNN and she was annoyed that he left town. She
apologized to Mexico, also said "We're not sending our best" !!


He should've stayed put in Cancun. Issue a statement saying
he'd already done what he could. Whatever more he could do
could be done from Cancun just as easily. Millions of people
are working from home now.

I too do wonder what he can do in Texas. And apparently he had no
heat, so he has to go out of the area**. Maybe he could have gone to a
Motel 6 in Oklahoma, but from many povs, why go there if he can go to
Cancun.

He just played it so badly.

He's only 50. Maybe he could have bought a warmer overcoat and gone out
and thawed out whatever was frozen with the gas supply?

How can natural gas pipes freeze in the first place? Water freezes, but
gas?


**I guess more people would have done that if they had the money or
enough gasoline to get where they are selling gasoline.

He is a senator, he is only effective in DC but there is nobody there
for him to talk to. They bugged out too.
