Senator Ted Cruz, a Texas Republican, attempted to warn his constituents to prepare for a major winter storm that is producing snowfall, rain and sleet across wide swaths of the Midwest and Southwest only for his efforts to backfire instantly.

Cruz's recommendation that Texans prepare for the storm by stocking such items as warm clothes, blankets, extra batteries, a first-aid kit, and non-perishable food rang hollow, his critics said, reminding him that he is still widely perceived as having abandoned Texans when he went on vacation during a severe winter storm one year ago.
