Senator Ted Cruz: Why Democrats May Sweep the 2020 Elections
San Angelo Live ^ | Jun. 12, 2019 11:06 am | Joe Hyde

“I’m worried about 2020, I think it’s 50-50. I think it’s a coin flip,” said Ted Cruz, the Republican U.S. Senator from Texas. The 2020 presidential race happens when the country is “deeply divided.” “It is an incredibly polarized country,” he said. “I think it all comes down to turnout.”

“I think the Left is going to show up in massive numbers,” he continued. “And it all comes down to who shows up on the center-right.”

Ted Cruz was on the Ben Shapiro Show Sunday when, 45-minutes into the interview, Shapiro asked Cruz for his assessment of the 2020 election cycle. That is when Cruz warned that the Democrats could sweep both houses of congress and win the presidency. Then they will proceed to perform great harm to the country, he said. […]

“I think the Democrats will nominate someone from the far left,” Cruz predicted. He said one of four declared candidates, between Bernie Sanders, Kamala Harris, Robert “Beto” O’Rourke, or Elizabeth Warren, will win the Democrat Party nomination to run for president. He gave an outside chance that Pete Buttigieg could emerge in the final four. “He’s stolen some of Beto’s thunder,” he said. […]

“…Every Leftist is going to show up at the polls and they will crawl over broken glass to get there. They hate Donald Trump with a white-hot passion. You’re going to see Democrats in areas where you didn’t know there were any Democrats. They’re going to crawl out of the woodwork,” he said. …

Cruz is right. Trump has polarized, traumatized, and energized the left more than any other president. The level of insane anger is higher than its ever been. The right, on the other hand, has been notorious for sitting on their hands in elections for years.

This can be pooh-poohed and giggled at until Biden becomes president, but never discount the level of depravity that the left will undertake in this next election to win.

And, you know the Democrats are GOING TO CHEAT! BIG TIME!

Bingo! And as one author noted a few years back, we have to win BIG, just to overcome all of the fake D@mocrat ballots...

Not sure what you mean. I’m not sitting by anything. I’ll do my part and vote for President Trump. I’ll do my best to convince others to do the same, but with the circles I run in, that’s a No Brainer. Folks on the Left cannot be convinced otherwise.

Look at what happened when he said he wanted all the illegals in Sanctuary Cities. They went nuts. They don’t want to live with the consequences of their policies, they want those policies to destroy everyplace else. They won’t blame the destruction of their cities and schools on themselves, they’ll blame everything on the President and the mean Right Wing.

There is no convincing them.

But, sitting idly by..not sure what you mean. If the country gets violent, which I think it will, I know what side I’m on.

He appears to be suggesting that these will be legitimate votes. No word about fraud, even in the age where people like Stacey Abrams openly admit such fraud—and that is how Democrats make their voters come out of the woodwork as it were, which we saw in 2018. His tone, as I said, appears fearful, which suggests a loss of supernatural faith.

The DNC, in the leadership position, is no longer an opposition party... They are a criminal enterprise doing everything in their power to take down the United States. Therefore, they will lie, cheat and steal in order to take power in 2020.

I have no doubt if we truly had fair elections President Trump would easily win in a landslide. However, we do not and the Democrats will do everything in their reach to steal 2020. They lie, cheat and steal their way into power. They manipulated the useful idiots that fall for every trick in the book.

They stole the House of Representatives in 2018. Most of the stealing occurred in California while everyone was focused on 3 States where they were attempting to steal the Governorships. 2018 was a test run for this criminal enterprise.

The DNC leadership is a clear and present danger to the National Security of the United States and our Constitutional Republic. If President Trump continues to let these criminals run wild, then say good bye to the USA.

There will be no revolution too. Most people are into video games, on the Internet, sports, super hero movies, entertainment, etc... to have the fortitude to revolutionize.

So here is what is probably going to happen unless President Trump cracks with the military against these criminals. The Globalists will successfully steal the election in 2020, and the DNC will continue to slowly dissolve the United States as we know it.

The only hope we have besides the Trinity of (Jesus Christ, God and the Holly Ghost) is through technology because of no laws. Technology is moving faster and faster and they cannot seem to keep up.

The financial world will have to reset soon too. The current financial world is unsustainable. The current Global Debt of all nations is over 180 Trillion Dollars. The U.S. is over 22 Trillion and we are talking about going to war with Iran as if we could afford it?

The world is in great trouble and President Trump is about to fail unless he unleashes he does something soon. I do not see any other way out of this mess?

Yes, but so will the right. And that’s usually not enough for the left without all of that fraud on top of it; and even then it’s not enough for a sweep.

Not enough of them, though, which is why “missing” Democratic votes mysteriously pop up days after the election in rusty vehicles.

That’s what I was referring to. This is a big-time surrender tone here, talking a “sweep” by the opposition 1½ years before the general—even for the presidency.

Yep. Anyone who dismisses this is a fool. The fact that we came close to losing the senate seat in Texas last year (and Cruz is not a terrible, scandal laden candidate) and the fact Georgia was so close ought to wake some people up.

I find that so many people in this site suffer from herd mentality. They assume that because they think a certain way and the people around them are that way-that this is the way most people are. Well-look at the elections and look at the fact our bought and paid for (by the chamber of commerce) GOP has done nothing to address voter fraud and it ought to frighten everyone. Look at the fact that only 28% of the kids in Texas public schools are white. Look at how non-whites vote and extrapolate those 38 electoral votes.

This is a reality that we cannot change by wishful thinking. Nor can we change it by attacking the motives of the messenger.

Either there has been a massive switch in popularity of Socialism/Communism or the democrats have finally perfected voter fraud. Neither one is easily fixed. But maybe soon, next week, next month or next election, but someday for sure, trust us.

“Shoot, Ted, that’s part of the fun of being a Democrat: No one knows where the next box of heavily Democratic-voting ballots will turn up on election night to put them over the top!”

Yes, voter fraud is and will be a far greater factor in our elections than anything the Russians ever dreamed of.

Of course, the fraud always favors Democrats.

And Republicans never do a damn thing but bitch about it.

Julian Castro..the hispanic former Mayor that can’t speak Spanish, isn’t he?

The Hispanic vote in Texas will continue to increase. By 2024 Democrats can win Texas, Arizona and Florida. A big blue wall of 78 electoral votes....Twitter - Jan 2018

https://twitter.com/juliancastro/status/955673490098704384

These politicians think their money and positions will insulate them from all that is on the way. They think they’ll have a security apparatus to protect them. Not so sure about that.

Take Minneapolis and Dearborn. Both elected women that absolutely hate the US and shouldn’t even be in the country. They aren’t going anywhere unless replaced by someone more radical. As for Omar, with the growing somalian population in Minneapolis and white, liberal guilt, you’re looking at a future Senator or Governor of Minnesota. And the arrogant Democratic Machine in that state thinks they can control her. That toothpaste is way out of the tube.

I speculate that Ted is intentionally lowering expectations to stimulate the conservative base.

Well, I hope it works. A Dem sweep is as low as one can go in terms of expectations.

He appears to be suggesting that these will be legitimate votes.

Are you suggesting that the D@mocrats WON'T turn out in greater numbers ("legitimate votes") than in 2016? If so, you're dreaming - after years of anti-Trump propaganda from the media & political establishment, living, breathing D@mocrats (and mindless Americans who haven't voted in years) will turn out in droves.

No word about fraud, even in the age where people like Stacey Abrams openly admit such fraud—and that is how Democrats make their voters come out of the woodwork as it were, which we saw in 2018.

Dead and non-existent D@mocrats vote in every election. It's part of the electoral environment. If Cruz had mentioned voter fraud, the response would have been, "Thanks a boat-load, Captain Obvious!"

When I lived in New Mexico, the D@mocrats would wait for the State totals to come in, and if the election was close enough, they would "find" enough uncounted ballots in Socorro (or some other Party stronghold) to swing the results their way. But fraud only works if an election is close - as Cruz said, it's all about turnout.

His tone, as I said, appears fearful, which suggests a loss of supernatural faith.

If you think it's "fearful" to point out how easily the next election could be lost, if we don't get off our @sses and support our candidates, and actually vote ("turn out"), you're living in fantasy land (or maybe some complacent "supernatural" realm), not the real world...

A close election is a stealable election.

Since the “greater numbers” entail fraudulent votes (Stacey Abrams was quite open about this), I absolutely expect to see that, even worse than 2018. I do not expect legitimate Democratic voters to suddenly increase any more than I did last year.

What is needed is more talk about voter fraud, not silence.

sitting idly by..not sure what you mean. “””

If the Dems win, even legitimately, WHAT do WE do? Say ‘Oh well, they won...”? HOW do we do that, honestly believing that they are literally delusional or Evil? They have long since demonstrated that the Law is what THEY personal politically need it to be, want it to be or say it is.
