"Yes, Senator Cruz is in Cancún right now, but you know here in his offices we say 'Big Whoop'. Senator Cruz deserves to relax, unwind, unplug, recharge, you know like you would a power outlet. Or his power grid is going to go out," said his spokesperson, comedian Blaire Erskine.

As for Senator Cruz, seems he's now beating a hasty retreat back to Houston with all this negative coverage. Hope his batteries are recharged.

And because it's Ted Cruz and all things awful, he's now requested Houston police assistance getting through the airport terminal when he returns tonight.

Here’s the upgrade list for this afternoon’s flight from Cancun to Houston.

Looks like ⁦@tedcruz⁩ is on his way back, ⁦@danpfeiffer⁩. He’s just narrowly missing the upgrade list

That’s assuming that “cru, r” is him. And I do. pic.twitter.com/CqfKa5rJfG
