With school cancelled for the week, our girls asked to take a trip with friends. Wanting to be a good dad, I flew down with them last night and am flying back this afternoon. My staff and I are constant communication with state and local leaders to get to the bottom of what happened in Texas.

Last I checked, the TX Governor is in charge of handling emergencies of the type currently afflicting TX.

All you have to do is speak, regardless of how flimsy or stupid it is, and the bashing stops?

I am always swayed by men who use their children to make public statements.

Is Cruz on the beach with a cold drink like Milton in Office Space at the end where he’s complaining about the resort service?

But some aides will call him there is more Texans suffer or die? That doesn’t look good on news reports.

I guess he can try to spin it and hurry back, but he can’t recover from this screw-up, that simple. I’m actually much more worried about him bringing down the entire Texas GOP (and thereby handing the state to the Democrats), his move was THAT STUPID.

Given the cold weather this is an excellent time to take a vacation somewhere south.

Stop taking such a constitutional view of things! /s

Everyone knows that photo ops by Senators and Congress Critters is what is needed to fix statewide disasters!

Biden could be eating breakfast sausage made from aborted babies every morning and the press wouldn’t say a thing.

Cruz is part of the problem.

He should damn well stay home and help clean up the mess.

"With school cancelled for the week, our girls asked to take a trip with friends."

Sounds like kind of a spur of the moment kind of thing. Other people here have been saying this was a long-planned trip that couldn't be cancelled. Maybe they cancelled school for this week back in December?
