What's happening to Ted Cruz is interesting and sad for the Texans affected by the flooding.

His conservative hypocrisy is being totally called out by those he victimized, or tried to victimize. in the past, in order to establish his conservative political chops.

SO, now he's got a target painted on his back.  And, the only thing he's falling into the trap (in order to desperately try to save his Presidential aspirations).  Meanwhile, he's antagonizing and resurrecting old beefs against him, and thereby putting  Texas flood relief in a bad situation.

I think the rest of Congress rises to the occasion, and doesn't engage in retribution of Cruz by leaving Texas hanging.  But Cruz is getting irreparably damaged politically.  

No less at home, in Texas.  Texans are seeing just how risky it is to have Cruz as their Senator.  They HAVE to be calculating the potential losses and risks to themselves everytime he opens his mouth, as well as the spectacle of him spening even . . . .
