Cruz Apologizes For Fleeing the Storm?!?, 3519

The power of the mainstream media - which is even to the left of the Democratic Party - to create an issue is awesome and not in a good way.
Take Texas Sen. Ted Cruz going to Cancun while Texas was in the midst of a terrible winter storm. When the MSM got wind of it they blasted Cruz for being AWOL when Texas was in dire straits.
Cruz rushed home and publicly apologized in front of TV cameras, admitting he had made a mistake.
Really? Why? Cruz is a US Senator, he’s not governor. Cruz, as a Senator, has power when he can convince at least 50 of his fellow senators to vote on a piece of legislation with him.
Cruz as a US Senator doesn’t have any particular power in Texas. He can’t order schools to be opened to provide shelter for those without electricity, schools that do have electricity that is.
He can’t order the National Guard to distribute generators around the state. He can’t get the roads cleared or the power turned back on. He doesn’t have a pot of emergency money to spend.
