Twitter sleuths and political operatives began flagging the photos Wednesday night showing Cruz at the airport and on a plane headed to Cancún.
Surely he’s on a mission of mercy to Mexico.
I fully expect him to preach his Free Market Gospel in Cancún, seeing as how it has worked so well for Texas.

I view this as positive. The last thing we need is a politician trying to help us Texans out of a crisis. We need competence, knowledge, and experience. Cruz has none of these characteristics.

Of course Ted doesn’t give two shits about the plight of Texans. He has a warm, sunny vacation to enjoy.
