Texas deserves better than Ted Cruz.

  1. It’s ok, he blamed it on his daughters. Ted Cruz is a giant POS.

    See how they’re the party of personal responsibility? :/

    And you know who traveled to TX to do his job for him while he was vacationing, raising money for the people affected?

    AOC. And it’s a safe bet there are a non-zero number of residents there that hate her, because, you know, she’s a Democrat.

    Remember when Ted went to NY to cover for AOC slacking off and refusing to do her job? No? Me neither.

  2. Besides the fact that, as Lady G tells it, no Senator would convict anyone who would kill Cancun Cruz in the well of the Senate, the story outta D.C. is that this P.O.S. is more of a podcaster than a Senator.

  3. Texas deserves better than a Canadian transplant who spends his time in Mexico. Take off, eh! Hoser. Go back to Alberta.

  4. That restaurant is in downtown Midland Texas. George Bush’s hometown.
    It is the most expensive most gentrified Mexican Food Restaurant in all of Midland which is saying a lot because there are hundreds of Mexican Food joints in the area.
    Of course Ted Cruz likes it there.

  5. I don’t expect very much from Texas. They are not very smart. But come on, Texas, you can do better than Ted Cruz. He’s not even a Texan. How does that sit with the cowboy image of a Texan? I think they have a name for a Ted Cruz, they call him a carpet bagger because he came from somewhere else, and he’s trying to run shit in Texas.

  6. Also, he abandoned the family dog in a freezing house.

    You’re going to vote for THAT guy???

  7. Just start calling him by his given name and most of Texass will immediately turn on him. (Rafael Cruz is his actual name).

  8. No, they don’t. They are too stupid a voter base to understand what better is, but it’s still a free country. Hell, 45% of this entire country wants a dictatorship. Texas hasn’t cornered the market on stupid.

  9. I’ve had multiple coworkers who vote red defend him on the Cancun thing. “Well what was he gonna do? Travel to the areas without power and start installing lines?”

    No, dumbasses. He’s a lawmaker. He needed to go to his office and start making calls. Find the people who could start making things right and summon them, write legislation to get funds to help, assemble a group of assistants who could start taking calls and finding out what assistance was needed and exactly where. It was his state.

  10. Edited to add:

    But Texas voted for him. We deserve what we get.

    Not saying that he’s not a piece of shit. He is.

  11. This is my story about Social Security, Huntington’s Disease and Ted Cruz

    My family has been ravaged by Huntington’s Disease. It killed my Grandmother, my Aunt, and my own Mother. If I live long enough it will certainly kill me too. It’s a genetic defect that causes a mutant protein to build up in the brain and kill neurons. Simply as you age you get more sick. The higher the amount of mutated genes the earlier you get sick. It’s literally the worst thing to happen to a person. It causes cognitive degradation and physical movement called chorea. Most people with the illness fall and hit their heads or choke on their own food or saliva. There is no cure or treatment at this time. Most people get symptomatic at about age 35-45 and live for 10 years or so after that, with the last 2-3 years needing extreme care. 1-100,000 people will get this illness passed genetically. The legal definition is decades out of date and sooo much has changed about our understanding of it.

    My story is from 2013, only two years before my mother died from HD. My siblings had Ben trying to get her qualified for social security and disability. It was a really difficult situation, basically a shit show. At the time the Huntington’s Disease Society of America (HDSA) was lobbying to change the definition of Huntington’s for Social Security. Ted Cruz was my newly elected Senator and had a lot of support from a segment of the Republican Party. I wrote to him and John Cornyn.

    I explained what the disease is and how my mother was struggling and how I could have the same fate as her. I told him as a democrat, he would have my whole family’s votes for life if he got behind the Huntington’s Disparity Act. I begged him to help my mother and the few Americans who are cursed at birth.

    Ted wrote to me a very short response. It was “I am very sorry to hear about you and your mother. I wish you all the best. I came to Washington to take people off of social assistance, not to put people on it.

    -Ted”

    I am positive for the gene. My CAG is 44. Fuck you Ted.
