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.”

Cruz is still hated by Democrats and hated even more by Leftist Republicans.

Since Ted Cruz knows what the Hildebeast represents, his failure to endorse Trump and work for his election is outrageous and contemptible.

He’s still smarting from losing his opportunity to be the Big Mahaff of the borderless MexAmeriCana North American Union. His NWO old lady had her heart set on her role in it, too, as did her handlers at Goldman Sachs. IMHO.

Sounds like Ted was drinking the same Kool-Aid Shelia Jackson Lee was drinking the other day.

“Democrats could have “massive wins” in the large urban counties in Texas”

Why would Cruz care? He is one.

If he hopes or cares that his legacy is somewhat positive, he’ll be getting his ass out there this week and begin endorsing Trump enthusiastically.

“Cruz broke his oath. That’s not opinion but fact.”

Last week, Jack Welch was being interviewed — by Cavuto, I think. Apparently he had been very pro-Cruz, but said he could never support him again simply because he broke his promise to support the winner.

This Cruz is such a complete, smirking asshat that he needs to be driven out of office.

If Cruz cared, I imagine there is something he could do to get more conservatives to the polls.

Isn’t there a prominent US Senator from Texas, one who ran for president and was #2 in the GOP race?

Didn’t that Senator give his word that he would support the nominee and then, so far, not get around to showing that support?

Couldn’t Cruz do something about that and work on motivating that candidate’s supporters and former supporters to vote?

A whole lot of Trump supporters are done with that former candidate, but those who still many conservatives waiting to hear from that candidate. I would very much like to see Cruz do something big between now and the election.

Note: Trump was exceptionally rude about Heidi Cruz (no point in arguing whether that was provoked, it would have permanently offended me if that had been done to my wife), and attacks on a wife can be hard to forgive. However, we’re talking about the survival of America as a free country. We’re talking about avoiding either tyranny or a second civil war. It’s time for Cruz to suck it up and do the right thing, regardless of his personal feelings toward Trump.

Poor Teddy. Still campaigning for president. Somebody should let him know the primaries are over!

Deep down inside, Teddy wishes he had come up with the, “bucket of deplorables,” line for Trump supporters. He did call us ignorant and low information, but I’m confident the sentiment was there. How did the smartest senator ever not realize that he wasn’t going to win people’s votes by insulting them? Hillary may have stepped in the same pile of dogsh!t with her deplorables remark, but when she did, Teddy’s footprint was already there.
