If I were President Biden, I'd head to Texas as soon as it is safe to do so.

Personal Presidential attention is a key in disaster like this.

With his feet on the ground, he will raise the spirits of our suffering countrymen.

1. I'm sure it's on his radar

[NNadir]

3. Knowing what kind of man he is, I'm sure you're right. n/t.

2. Particularly effective if Ted Cruz is still in Cancun n/t

15. Boom!

4. He probably will go next week or so...nt

5. 🤔 hmmm

I essentially said the same thing in a post and got bashed for it.

[Baitball Blogger]

11. I hate it when that happens.

[NNadir]

14. Probably just bad luck. You surely couldn't be less charming that I am, since I'm not charming...

...at all.

I missed your post, but I certainly and clearly applaud your statement.

There has been some schadenfreude in this community, which is regrettable, but I'm confident that overall, DUers have higher values than those engaged in schadenfreude.

6. It's probably safer now for him than at any time since he was VP

Republican rule has been exposed for the sham it is, and this is a president who connects with people, not just their baser emotions.

10. He's been showing us, repeatedly over the last few weeks, that's not who he is. n/t.

[Laelth]

12. I agree. In fact, I suspect he will. n/t

16. I think Biden and team knows what they need to do! Nt

[Johnny2X2X]

17. I think he'll be on the ground there

The thing is, this is a horrible crisis, but it's also a short lived one. It will be 60 across Texas next week. Power will start being restored everywhere soon. So this is low hanging fruit politically, go in, provide some federal help, look like a hero a week later when it is all resolved.

[NNadir]

18. It's not going to be "resolved." Many homes have been badly damaged, if not destroyed...

...by plumbing leaks.

19. IIRC, Texas is not the only state suffering from the cold.

They are to my knowledge though, the only state whose infrastructure sucks, and has been sucking for quite a while as far as I've heard.

Joe was asked for assistance - he sent it.

What more can he do?

[NNadir]

20. I'm sure that many Texans had little to do with the nature of Texas infrastructure.

My niece went to Texas to attend graduate school.

President Biden has made it clear that he wants to be President of all Americans, those who are not responsible for these mistakes, as well as those are responsible.

When I've made a mistake that has a negative impact on my work or my life, I always feel better about a person who generously helps me out of the mistake and who also shows me how to not make it again.

In my lifetime, to my surprise, I saw Georgia go blue. Texas cannot be far behind.
