On Thursday morning, Republican Senator Ted Cruz attended a breakfast gathering for the Christian Science Monitor where he warned, the Texas could absolutely be in play in 2020 now there’s a couple of quotes from Ted Cruz at that breakfast meeting that I want to read, and again, I have to go ahead and admit wholeheartedly I agree with most of what Ted Cruz says here and here it is.
I think the Texas election in 2018 is powerful foreshadowing for what to expect across the country in 2020 that is correct. The Democrats in Texas increased their turnout in more than 100% the far left has pissed off. They hate the president, and that is a powerful motivator. If the left shows up in massive numbers and everybody else doesn’t, that’s how we end up with an incredibly damaging election for the Republican party damaging election, and again, you’re right about that, but you’re wrong about it. Just being that we’re pissed off at the president. You see, that’s the thing I don’t think a lot of people grasp right now.

Cruz continued. If we lose Texas, it’s game over.

Beto fever was sweeping Texas last year. Trump will be fine.
Well said.

Exactly.

Allow me to explain what is happening. The demographic shift in California is causing us to lose the presidential populist vote. In their wisdom the founders prevented this lopsided result in a few states from deciding the election.
However, it’s also true that eventually a lopsided demographic in one state will move to other states because America is a free highly mobile nation. Therefore, the electoral vote will eventually reflect the popular vote.
Most Hispanics whose origins here are illegal immigration by their parents could care less about political theory and an analysis of what is wrong with America. They and brainwashed liberal white Americans will continue to vote Democrat.
They don’t make the logical connections you do. Their political viewpoint is entirely different.
Therefore transfers from California, NY, etc will screw your states politically.
However I don’t know if Texas is close to flipping. My guess is everyone will be highly motivated in 2020 and it will be one hell of a fight.
“Exactly. Cruz running his mouth in the press is leadership. Recall when the border National Emergency executive order debate was raging. Cruz announced he was undecided, hid under his desk for a week and then in the end voted for it. THAT is not leadership.”
Your position fits the saying “not even wrong” as it would take improvement just to get up to merely being wrong. You either have selective memory or you get your information from fake news.
First, he was speaking at a Christian Science Monitor breakfast which is a platform from which to be heard. This is no different than President Trump trying to raise support with emails and Tweets PLUS action. Cruz has taken plenty of action. Politicians, by the nature of their job, must answer questions from the press.
Cruz did not EVER oppose Trump on the executive order, but as a Constitutional scholar who clerked for a chief justice and argued before the supreme court nine times, I’d say he was reasonable to investigate this cautiously. Obviously the president did not want to telegraph in advance his intentions so he never called Cruz to ask for his opinion or support (except right before issuing the order):
https://www.mcclatchydc.com/news/policy/article226838224.html
“I’ve long said that any president, Republican or Democrat, must follow the constitution and must follow the laws. So I’m taking the time to consider and analyze the specific statutory authorities the administration is relying upon and their arguments as to why they might apply.”
There is nothing unreasonable about this. Cruz was also VERY vocal in support of the president and in addressing the border crisis at the same time he made the above statement to the press:
“I emphatically agree that we have a crisis at the border and that we need to solve it, and I am grateful that the president and the administration are leading to secure the border and to build a wall.”
The president’s executive order triggered a lot of debate over the subsequent two weeks, and Cruz came down decisively on the president’s side:
https://www.cruz.senate.gov/?p=press_release&id=4377
“Today, the National Emergencies Act required the Senate to answer one question: whether there is an ongoing emergency at our southern border. I voted to support the President’s declaration because, as Texans realize all too well, there is one.”
Further, Cruz and President Trump addressed the concerns over the broad powers that the office has to declare national emergencies by executive order and have worked together to implement reasonable reforms that will not hamper Trump but will avoid possible future abuses.
You’re also forgetting that Cruz supported the president on getting money in the actual budget for the wall. He supported the president during the shutdown over border funding and supported the president on his compromise that ended the shutdown in January and led up to the executive order:
https://www.cruz.senate.gov/?p=press_release&id=4298
“Today, I joined a bipartisan majority in voting for President Trump’s plan to secure our border and reopen the federal government. The president asked me to support his plan, and I did so because I agree with him that border security is unquestionably a national priority and that we must build a wall to secure the border. The president put forward a reasonable compromise to end this shutdown. This plan secures our border, funds the construction of a much-needed border wall, and reopens the federal government. In exchange, the president offered to provide a three-year extension of status limited to current DACA recipients and current enrollees in TPS. I agreed to the president’s compromise because it didn’t extend amnesty to anybody not covered already under current law and, critically, it didn’t create a pathway to citizenship for those here illegally.”
Cruz consistently supported ALL of the president’s efforts and agenda on border security. And, very importantly, he has stood firm against any compromise on amnesty.
Anyone on this forum who is still fixated on Cruz to oppose him are either mentally ill or a fake conservative. Of the 53 Republican senators, Cruz is among the top ten percent who are consistently conservative and vote in support of President Trump’s agenda. That’s the top 5% on the senate.
Any real effort to improve our senate in support of conservative principles and our president would reasonably be directed at the other 95%. Those who always have something nasty to say about Cruz on this forum are either too stupid to get the basics of politics or they are phonies who don’t belong here.
Mark Levin said Texas could become purple (maybe it already is). I’m glad that Levin and Cruz are warning us.
President Trump is doing such a fantastic job that I worry complacency could become our worse enemy.
Texas isn’t that many years removed from the Democrat column.
Prior to 1980 Texas only voted for the GOP president four times
going back to 1848. Lots of new residents can change things.
What do they say about millions of illegals of all stripes in CA? A good percentage are voting. And you say you can’t believe how the left became radicalized? What have the radical leftist in all public schools/universities been churning out for several decades now? We’re simply seeing the results of all that.
What do they say about millions of illegals of all stripes in CA? A good percentage are voting.
ie; Texas has millions of illegals.
“..Lots of new residents can change things. “
That’s right. SCARRY. Every conservative Texan better make sure they vote and bring a friend.
You’re pi$$ed off at Trump for campaigning for you? Or for not giving the Dems cart blanch to confiscate guns. I’m sure Texans hate him for that./s
Oh, but there are Californian refugees, who never learned a thing from how terrible California was, and want more of the same in Texas. High taxes, gun “control,” homeless in major metro areas spreading disease, illegals taking up jobs and social service resources. Can’t get enough of that in California, so they’re spreading the love./s
94,000 Bikers for Trump, who so far have been peaceable, would put paid to Antifa just by showing up and glowering.
Like minds. To me he looks like “a liberal professor” with the beard.It really sucks.
One lady who will undoubtedly win our House seat in South Fla. is Irina Vilarino. she and her entire family are self made true Americans here in South Fla.Great patriots all, especially her.She will take out Debby Powell.
Fantastic!
So much winning.
Let the left hoist themselves on their own petards, rectally.
