Ted Cruz has Spent More Time in Iowa than South Texas

[TexasTowelie]

It's no April Fools' Joke -- since becoming Senator, Ted Cruz has visited Iowa more times than he's visited the Rio Grande Valley.

Cruz took his second trip to the Rio Grande Valley as Senator this week, giving stump speeches in Harlingen and Laredo. During the speeches, he did not discuss immigration or border security, claiming that residents of the border region care about the same issues as Texans in other parts of the state. Instead, Cruz's stump speeches focused on criticizing the President and the Affordable Care Act.

By this point, Ted Cruz's presidential ambitions are no secret, and even Cruz himself seems to have given up the pretense. He's visited several key presidential primary states more than he's been to South Texas, preferring to advance his own personal ambitions over helping some of his most vulnerable constituents.

Since being elected Senator, Ted Cruz has spent a great deal of time working the Presidential campaign circuit. According to the Houston Chronicle, Cruz has made "four trips to Iowa, three to South Carolina and [has] a third visit to New Hampshire set for this month."

1. He must fulfill his destiny, you people.

A messiah can't sacrifice his own destiny for the
sake of politics, folks.

3. Cruz is driven by a psychopathic self delusion of religious zeal, of course he must seek out his

destiny, which now appears to be to embarrass himself as no man has done before.

2. They don't care much for Cubanos in the RGV

4. The obvious question here is this:

Where is his birth certificate?
