Seems you missed the "exactly" part of the post you replied to...A Senator does have a constituency. He may not have been able to do much, but he could have done a lot more than your average Texan. And then there is the idea of working together instead of deciding that while everyone else suffers is a good time to go to Mexico.
Best I can tell is that people are getting all worked up into making a mountain over an ant hill.
Wonder if the same epic mountain making fail will occur if he goes to Mexico to pick his daughter up....
