Yes, Sister Joanna, we need to rally around Brother Ted Cruz. He needed to get out of the terrible Texas weather so the could get some of his work done. How can he work if he has no electricity and it's bitter cold in his house? If other Texans would get off their duffs and do what he did fewer people would be distressed right now.
All that said, it's not unreasonable to call the Cruz trip to Cancun a political mistake. Democrats are now calling him "Fled Cruz." We now know who made the mistake. It was Cruz' wife, Heidi. Let's not blame Ted for Heidi's mistake.
