ABC host George Stephanopoulos mentioned Cruz's warning that Texas could be a potential background state in the 2020 presidential election and noted that five Republican House members from the state have come forward saying they would not seek reelection next year.
Cruz claimed that the third Democratic presidential debate in Houston on Thursday was a "very bad night" for Democrats because the candidates did not mention the economy's relative strength through the third quarter of this year.
"If you look at Thursday night, the entire night of the debate, not a single Democrat talked about jobs, not a single Democrat talked about the economy, about the fact that we've got the lowest African American unemployment ever recorded, the lowest Hispanic unemployment ever recorded," Cruz said.
"Instead what the Democrats told the American people is they want to raise your taxes, they want to triple the price you pay for a gallon of gas at the pump, they want open borders, they want to take away your health insurance and they want to take away your guns," the Texas senator continued.
Cruz asserted the Democratic candidates' policy proposals are "designed to resonate in the faculty lounges at an Ivy League college" and challenged Stephanopoulos to find one working American who supports their agenda.
"I think Donald Trump has broken the Democratic party," Cruz said. "They are defined now just by hating him. They ought to be the party of jobs. They used to be a party focused on jobs, they're not anymore."

LION TED
I wished the average Democrat is too stupid to be broken
Some digs will pop up here sooner or later :)
As far as I’m concerned, getting Trump elected in 2020 is the priority and then when I’m 56 I will get a meatball hero and a six pack and read the fighting that commences again regarding Cruz in 2024 :)
Though Pence is probably gonna wanna be pres.
I like this new 2.0 version of Ted Cruz.
President Trump deserves credit to be sure. But let’s not forget idiots like Pelosi, Cortez, Biden, Beto et al all are to blame for breaking the democratic party.
We’ll see . 2024 is a long way off.
I like Mike Pence, but he’s no force of nature as Trump is.
There will be others challenging Pence for the 2024 nomination. Cruz may well be in the mix.
I’m warming to Pompeo....
I really wish Ted would just focus on being a good Senator for Texas.
I’m never voting for an ineligible candidate, even one I somewhat like.
A paesano that I can vote for?
I’m in! :)
Haven’t had one since Rudy in NYC.
GOD KNOWS I didn’t vote for beblasio or cuomo.
I would say executive experience only. Governors + any CEO approved by the elders at the RNC. Networks will counter with ‘serious’ types such as Sanford, Kasich.
Don’t get your hopes up on that.
He REALLY wanted to be president and I don’t think that has gone away.
Why is there a debate about him being eligible or ineligible to run?
Is it in black and white in the constitution or not?
I am the FURTHEST things from an expert :)

Constitution says must be a natural born citizen.
Tell me how anyone born with more than one nationality is naturally American.
Ted’s right of course. Hopefully, the Republicans remember what Trump has taught them.
I didn’t watch the debate. What did those fools discuss?
