Ted Cruz is in a bunch of trouble because he and his family went to Cancun while Texas froze. Outrage in the state, which is understandable, particularly given the somewhat disingenuous explanation Cruz gave - his children made him do it. But also outrage elsewhere, some of which seems a might myopic. See the comments to this story. What his adventure reminded me of was the many friendly, pleasant stories of New York's wealthy leaving Manhattan for their various country homes so as not to be overly inconvenienced by Covid. Which seemed to elicit nothing but praise from the same sources.
I am not a Cruz supporter -- I think he lacks any moral compass and we would be better off without him -- but it is what the rich and, well, the rich, do all the time. The Governor of California has to have a birthday party at the French Laundry. Does anyone think Elon Musk or Peter Thiel is waiting on line for a vaccine?
There is no election looming for Cruz. Will this end his political career? I do not think so.
