Ted Cruz Warns Democrats Could Have ‘Massive Wins’ in Texas
Breitbart ^ | 9/17/2016 | LANA SHADWICK

Posted on 09/17/2016 9:18:50 PM PDT by BlackFemaleArmyColonel

Senator Ted Cruz warned patriots gathered for a Constitution Day gathering that Democrats could have “massive wins” in the large urban counties in Texas “if one, two, or three percent stay home.” Cruz also called Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton “manifestly unfit” to be president.

“It would not take that many to have an enormous impact on this election,” he said. He warned of the effect that staying home would have on judicial, Texas state representative and senate races, and other races in down-ballot elections.

The Texas senator and former GOP presidential candidate also cautioned about the impact outside of Texas saying the U.S. Senate was “hanging by a thread.” Cruz said, “Whatever happens, we need a check of a Republican Senate to check the executive and protect our liberty.” He created quite a reaction from the crowd, including loud Boos, when he raised the possibility of “Majority Leader Chuck Schumer.” Cruz urged everyone to come out and “defend the Constitution of the United States.”

When speaking of the race for president, he noted that three of the justices on the U.S. Supreme Court are quite advanced in years and the next president will have the opportunity to select the justices to replace them. Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg is 83-years-old, Justice Anthony Kennedy is 80, and Justice Stephen Breyer is 78-years-old.

Senator Cruz said that the Second Amendment, free speech, state’s rights, individual liberty, and U.S. sovereignty, hangs in the balance because of the presidential judicial appointment power. Other countries “are buying our nation” and want to take away our freedoms, he said. “Hillary Clinton is manifestly unfit to represent the United States,” he charged, and he delighted the crowd when he added, “I have some government housing in mind for her, but it’s a little smaller and has fewer windows.”

So Ted is telling us to vote against Hillary?

And he still hasn’t endorsed Trump. Ted is done.

This sounds like a tacit endorsement of Trump. I wish he would just endorse Trump and be done with it.

After Dan Patrick today, I’m expecting a Cruz endorsement at the end of Oct and I have been for awhile. PS - I’ve been on the Trump train since the primaries started.

If you keep the illegal alien freeloaders away from the polls they won’t.

Oh Teddy, Teddy, Teddy....perhaps YOU should have thought of that long ago; but then, you’re just a whinging CANADIAN, who wants to be in the majority in the Senate. OTOH....you won’t be in the Senate much longer! *snicker*

Perish the thought. Texas is the anchor of red state America.

He just figured this out? And he’s still playing with telling people to vote on down ticket races. But hey somebody insulted his wife. What a jerk.

Nope and I doubt that he ever shall.

He is a stinking TRAITOR and ONLY interested in his own power and "future"; which doesn't look very bright.

HAS-BEEN sour grapes? He'z just hopin'.

Go away Teddyboy, I was for ya before I was against ya! Your behavior at the RNC was apalling to say the least, and your lack of support for the nominee inexcusable...

UNDERMINER get lost.

Sure, but I think he's going to officially (at least in his head) want to be on the winning team. I really don't think it'll fool anyone and I'm in no way shape or form trying to stick up for Cruz with these statements lol

I think Ted wishes he had stayed home and not gone to the Convention. I think now he wishes he had endorsed Trump, instead of his vote your conscious statement. Had he done so, he might not be feeling so vulnerable himself. He is safe for now, but will he be when his reelection comes up?
