Man, this guy is tone deaf – in addition to being odious in his ideology. First his foray into Manhattan at a gay power couple’s home and then the next day this vote-skipping.

Cruz was very principled in his opposition to Loretta Lynch’s nomination for Attorney General, just not principled enough to show up for the vote!!

Well, if he’d shown up and voted against her, he would be opening himself up to charges of racism…

Were there any vampires at this fundraiser like on that episode of True Blood?

You shouldn’t be allowed to stay on your government job and run for office. He needs to either put in the time or his resignation. They talk about lazy welfare people, well Congress is a shining example of shirkers on the public dole.

Instead he ducked the vote and opened himself up to charges of being a power-hungry, money-grubbed unprincipled twit.

Well, of course–you wouldn’t expect Raphael to break form and start to fulfill his Senatorial duties just to vote to confirm a Black woman, would you?

Texas actually has a law that prohibits an elected official from running for another office without resigning the office he already holds. However, it does not apply to federal offices.

But in all fairness…Republicans get called that anyway.

Wonder why he is standing in front of a shower curtain? Is he practicing his oratory skills in front of the bathroom mirror?
