Flyin Ted

New nickname for Texas's junior senator Ted Cruz after he abandoned his post in Texas during a power outage crisis to fly to Cancun for a short vacation that he planned AFTER the crisis started, but then quickly tucked tail and flew immediately back to Texas, throwing his family under the bus as an excuse for his absence. Nickname is a play on words based on Donald Trump's nickname for Cruz which is Lyin Ted, based on Cruz's penchant for lying.
