Well, I tried to explain it, maybe in a bad way. But to me it was quite clear from first reading what her point was. Her point was that an hour of work should be valued accordingly - so that it buys you two croissants for your kids at the airport. That was her example for that, could as well have used anything else really (like a day of hard work should buy you a Bengals ticket or whatever). It was an argument about minimum wage, not about the price of the croissant. 
And Cruz got that point just wrong, deliberately probably. But the reaction of #freestuff#socialism#leftiststupidity (paraphrasing) was just a miss. #minimumwageisevil would have responded to her point.
