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" !! |

Some phone companies also keep records of sent text messages. ... Verizon holds texts for up to five days and Virgin Mobile keeps them for 90 days. AT&T, T-Mobile and Sprint do not keep the contents of text messages. I just saw on the news that Cruz has police protection in front of his house. Some very unhappy people there. |

Still doesn't explain how the media got it, if in fact they did, I haven't followed it that much. Some laws were violated if a carrier employee was giving this out. If that's what happened, I'm sure Cruz will be demanding an investigation. I'm no fan of Cruz, but there is a difference between a mayor or governor going on vacation. They are the CEOs, they have direct involvement and call many of the shots during emergencies like this. Cruz as Senator, a lot less he could do. I would think that would mainly be listening to what officials need and if FEMA or similar isn't getting it done, Cruz could call them up, put pressure on them. But regardless, it sure was terrible optics for a guy already under a lot of fire for his involvement in the election lies and attempt to throw out the legal votes of millions of Americans. I think his political future beyond being a senator is gone. |

Similar happened to election officials around the country, to Dominion and Smartmatic execs, due to the anger Cruz stirred up with his lies about a stolen election. At least this time the anger is based on fact. |

He can't go fix the valves at the gas plant but he'd get a lot more votes handing out scarves and mittens. You'd think he would have picked up a tip like that from when trump tossed rolls of paper towels to people in PR after the hurricane. |

Yes, that was my bad, for starting a story that never happened. I think CNN said that a recipient had sent the text to the press, but I was listening with one ear at the start and missed that part. Still it's my fault. Pretty foolish to write so many neibhors. Maybe they wanted them to watch the house in case of burglars. |

I assume Cruz's neighbors are richer than him. Evidently one is a Democrat. |

If not, he can call FEMA. He could call the mayors of the worst hit areas, ask the same question. I suppose he could do a lot of that by phone from wherever he is, especially now with cell phones. It's mostly just terrible optics and apparently some of the "friends" they invited to come along are really friends. The media got those awful texts, "heh, no power, no heat, we're going to the Ritz Carlton in Cancun, want to join us"? Couldn't have happened to a bigger schmuck though, I'm shedding no tears. |
