Ted Cruz has been slammed for joking that Texans should “join me in Cancun” as the state braces for a deep freeze.

“Texans, with the freeze coming, wrap your pipes, cover your plants, stay off icy roads & keep your family safe. And, if it gets too damn cold, join me in Cancun!” he wrote on X.

    Unfortunately he’ll still win. Remember Uvalde voted for Abbot after the school shooting. After it exposed the absolute incompetence of their leadership they said “yep that’s who we want”. Cruz is sadly safely in his seat.

      He’s not. His polling numbers in the off-years coupled with the guaranteed higher voter turnout and Millennials and Gen Z showing up to vote should worry him.

        I’d be very very happily surprised - I hope you’re right!

          I get your original sentiment, though, and I agree that it’s not a guarantee that he’ll lose. But it’s going to be an uphill battle for him, because even if he doesn’t lose to a Democrat, he might lose to a less-worse Republican.
