Supporters of Ted Cruz are trying to justify his disappearing act, saying the senator could do nothing to help Texas in a time of crisis. But Miles Taylor, former head of homeland security, disagrees. “It’s a big screw,” he says of Ted Cruz considering it to Cancun, when millions in Texas became difficult.
“In Ted’s re-election, this is going to be the most important issue. This man would rather vacation in Mexico when people die than be there to drive the reaction.”
Although senators are not part of the ‘structure that drives the reaction’, Taylor explains in this podcast clip from Meidas Touch why Cruz for the hills, er, beach ‘is going to haunt him until the re-election. And why, “at the moment, Beto O’Rourke looks like he’s the real Texan, and Ted Cruz looks like a slacker.”
