    I do try to remain reasonable.

    I was commenting on the garbage decision of the governor to leave the state, rather than the garbage decision of OP to make up or repeat misinformation that it was outrage over a Cruz vacation. I’m with you on avoiding manufactured outrage.

    “It’s not a vacation. He’s there on a planned political trip.” can be seen defense of the governor when you omit the details.

    You didn’t just call out OP’s bad information garbage, you implied, whether intentionally or not, that there was no issue of what the governor was doing.

    That is what compelled my reply.

      In my own defense, I did not imply it, you inferred it probably because you interpreted any defense of him, despite being couched in trepidation of defending him at all, as a defense of the trip.

      I can see why explicitly not saying it I left this open to interpretation, so I don’t consider myself blameless, but I certainly did not imply it.
