I will say, Cruz screwed up and a savvy politician like him should have understood the optics better. But with that said, this country is so ate up with non important issues, especially with the people who they vote for.

The left will use this situation against Ted, when truth be told it is people like Beto that f*cked over Texas with bad energy policies that Ted was fighting against. There is nothing Ted can do to immediately fix the issue, but when the media has captured their story, its game over no coming back. But dumb Karens with their dumb Karen haircuts will get angry and shout, and vote in some Beto idiot to replace him that will usher in more blackouts with failed energy policies.

Ted Cruz


Anyone that Donald Trump beat in the 2016 primaries is dead on arrival for the 2024 primaries.

And yes, that includes Rand Paul and Ted Cruz. You just can't come back from a bruising fight against Trump and still be politically viable.

This is a fake controversy. What do you want him to do? Get a hovel in Texas and sit there in the dark and freeze? Would that make you feel better?

We went from Texas independence to Cruz being voted out real quick.

Yup. Was it stupid optics? Yes. Was it ultimately a big deal that impacted actual lives? Of course not.

But the masses are being programmed into frenzy over Ted. Meanwhile Cuomo is on takes literally threatening to destroy people who don’t tow the line in covering up their criminal nursing home scandal that killed 15k.

Apples. Oranges. Two standards of media behavior. Corporate legacy media and Big Tech are the real enemy

There was a time where we didn’t judge people for deciding what to do on their own damn dime as long as it was legal.

There was a time when people said, “Mind your own fricking business.”

They are dead anyway. Voting no longer matters in the USA. Our “leaders” are placed for us. We have zero say.

The Left media is busy 24-7 crafting false narratives to enrage people. All the while, there is little outage about truly outrageous things.

No one cares in TX. Other than the dems/liberty project types that tried to get him to resign with the Trump impeachment vote, and failed.

People just want to see ercot to get figured out. And the bigger optics will be when super high electric bills start hitting mailboxes. If Cruz can do anything it's to help there, not in the middle of it all happening. As no one expects him to scale up windmills to defrost them or gas pipes.

Only drama queens think this is an issue.

Right. We have nothing to go on but this one trip to Mexico to judge who he is. We know nothing but this one hit piece press release.

Probably didn't have the Internet, social media, and smartphones during whatever time you're referring to either. There are many more avenues to bitch about something nowadays.

Nobody has fought harder for Constitutional rights in this country than Ted. Only dumbarse idiots like you think he needs to be out in an ice field right now defrosting fuel lines. You have watched to much hollywood and have no idea how the real world works.
