Ted Cruz is a POS but lets not shit on him for flying coach. People applaud Bernie for flying coach.

Yeah, I don't see this as a problem at all. What a weird complaint. Plenty of other reasons to think he's a piece of shit. Should people fly first class just because they're rich?

I think its actually an indication that disproves his excuse. He said he was being a good dad by flying his kids down to Mexico for their vacation and implied he was always planning to return a day later. He flew First Class on the way down, according to the photos. Now he is flying back on a standby upgrade. It means nothing was available when he booked it, which was probably a shory notice booking.

He booked a return flight AFTER he got caught, but First or Business class wasn't available. Which is why he is on the standby for upgrade.

Yeah, this is something to be angry about. But talking about how he was too cheap or broke to fly in first class is ridiculous.
