    As long as Texans are dumb enough to vote for this asshole again and again, he does not need to worry.

      There are plenty of Texans who vote left or can be persuaded to as well. I’ve learned recently that Texas politics are way more nuanced than I realized. The good Texans that want to work together should be invited into the coalition.

      And they are, which is so fucking frustrating. I will never not be salty about Colin Allred losing to him. I really thought they’d be irate over him fleeing Snowpocalypse and Texans actively dying INSIDE their homes in 2021.

      But no, he won the fucking popular vote. Again.

      Also, as someone who moved from Texas to Cali: Fuck off Fled Cruz we don’t fucking want you or your ilk in this state.

      Also, also, I find it extremely funny that he’s leaving Texas ahead of the winter storm again, and I’m heading back to Texas tomorrow to surprise a friend for her birthday. I wish I wasnt living through Snowmaggeden 2: Electric Boogaloo to be quite honest.

    Is this that same Cruz who called to stop attacking pedofiles? The same one who went to Cancun? The one ended up working like a dog for a man who insulted his wife? Or is it the one who staged immigrants crossing the border?

    That Cruz?

      Ah yes the yearly service interruptions brought to you by the superior free market.

      What is wrong with a company spiking the price of electricity by 4,000%? Don’t like it just switch to another company that will do the same thing. Choice is wonderful.

        You second college class in MacroEcon, or an AP Macro Econ course… generally goes over how cartels are bad, and the government tends to run utilities because if they don’t, you get the exact situation that Texas has.

    Patterns like this are why people notice optics so quickly—leadership moments tend to stand out most when things get tough

    No no, forget numbers:

    Three areas if you’re pink you’re so screwed. Get food and hunker down for a week. Light pink? You’re only lightly screwed. Green, prepare to swim.

    Next time pick a politician who can control the weat…actually, Ned Rooze can’t control thr weather so he is practically useless. I can understand him leaving. He’s what we would call a chicken.
