“They were up the task in Africa when Ebola came over. They were up to the task in Haiti [after the earthquake of 2010]. As they should be. Because when it comes to saving lives we are all part of one community of shared values.

“I will do what I never thought I was going to do: I am begging. I am begging anyone that can hear us to save us from dying. If anybody out there is listening to us, we are dying. And you are killing us with the inefficiency and bureaucracy.”

Continuing to cry, Cruz said: “I am done being polite, and I am done being politically correct. I am mad as hell because my people’s lives are at stake.

“…I’m asking members of the press to send a mayday call. We are dying here. If we don’t solve the logistics, we are going to see something close to a genocide.”

7. Truth to Power

Why can't we have the same response as we did to the Haiti earthquake or Ebola? Eh? There's a major difference in leadership here. IE we had a Leader. A community activist. A person with an empathy chip.

Truth be told - Obama or HRC - we would have seen a dramatic difference in response.

8. Just heard on CNN the asshole is currently tweeting about the mayor and it's horrible.

Say's the Democrats told her to be nasty to Trump and then another tweet about "they" want everything done for them. I'm not on twitter - maybe someone can put up the exact tweets.
