The image of Texas Sen. Ted Cruz pulling his carry-on suitcase through an airport, en route home from an escape to Cancun, Mexico, in the aftermath of one of the most devastating storms to hit his state, has become an icon of extreme indifference on the part of an elected leader. Cruz claimed he was just trying to be "a good dad" by responding to his daughters' request for a resort vacation, while millions of Texans were suffering without power and clean running water. The storm resulted in the deaths of dozens in the state, including an 11-year-old boy who died in his freezing home.
