Trump is a paradox. On paper he is the epitome of a coastal elite - born into fabulous wealth, native of New York City, went to an Ivy League school.

I also heard she’s ugly. But don’t let Ted Cruz know I said that. I don’t want him trying to be my new best friend.

I hate block parties and actively avoid talking to my neighbors, but if you had a block party with Ted Cruz’s and Rand Paul’s neighbors, I would set up permanent residence wherever that was. I would even take a helping of green jello mold with floaty bits.

So his wife is as selfish and clueless as he is. What a perfect match.

“Ted Cruz’s Neighbors Must Really Hate Him?”

It tracks that the Cruzes have the kind of shitty “friends” who won’t tell them a senator going to Cancun while his constituents freeze to death is a bad idea, but will tattle on them to the New York Times.

although earlier this week, fellow county commissioners said that they weren’t notified about the drive, despite the fact that it utilized personnel and resources from the county. In fact, they apparently only found out about it through the newspaper.

Remember when John Sununu got in trouble for using the White House car service to go from DC to NYC for a stamp convention and he sent the car back empty because he flew back and he tried to defend himself by saying the car service was for his personal use and he got fired anyway?

“If Cruz resigns”? Good one.

They don’t care because they know their voters have the memory of a goldfish with brain damage.

Lol, 10 and 12 year olds don’t make you go to Cancun. If he hadn’t gotten caught, he’d still be there.

As the manly, family-values conservative Ted is, what could he do in this situation? The children forced him to take a trip to Mexico, dammit! Leave it to Ted Cruz to come up with a story that makes him look even more pathetic than the original one. Waiting to hear him say he had to make a side trip to Mar-A-Lago to…

Does Texas have a Stacey Abrams? 54% of Texas is getting what it voted for, but 45% of the state is getting the shaft right now. Once everyone gets power and digs themselves out of the snow, they’re going to have some serious new ammunition for the next election, but it's going to take someone more charismatic than…

Leave it to Ted Cruz to screw up the Girl Dad (TM) brand. 

Texas is getting what it voted for. 

It’s telling that the GOP no longer appears to care about optics, or about looking like out-of-touch douchebags or raging hypocrites. Mitch McConnell didn’t care about being a hypocrite when he rammed through Amy Coney Barrett to SCOTUS. Cruz slammed an Austin politician for taking a trip two months ago, but here he…

He took a suitcase with him for a down and back to chaperone his (apparently helpless?) wife and daughters.
For the record, that suitcase is bigger than the one I took for a two week vacation to Mexico a few years ago, and I use regularly for week long work trips.

“Our family lost heat and power too” doesn’t really have the power of solidarity when the first thing you did was decamp to what’s undoubtedly a private resort in sunny Mexico, you cretin.
