Why do people keep saying that this trip was planned in advance? Cruz himself has stated that his daughters asked him about leaving on Wednesday morning and they left hours later at 4pm. This wasn't a vacation that had tickets and hotel reservations that they couldn't cancel. It was a last-second trip because his wife and kids were bitching about the cold.
Stop defending this guy simply because he has an (R) after his name. You wouldn't do it if he was a Democrat and rightly so. So of course, Cruz wouldn't be expected to actually fix frozen pipes, that's such a bullshit strawman excuse. He could have worked with local officials, could have raised relief funds, could have acted as a go-between with State and Federal officials, he could have looked like he gave a damn.
But no, his wife and daughter were "FREEZING", so let's head to Cancun.
