Of course he did!
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?

Ah, the Master Debater ran away again!
I love that you used the word ‘shirkers’!
re cruz supporters… there was a fundraiser given by two gay hoteliers whose lgbt directed businesses are now being subjected to a boycott for their support of cruz… bummer… and just as summer season reservations in the hamptons/fire island really gets underway… lol
Before he lost another debate.
The new Cruz slogan: “Stop, drop and slither!”
