Ted Cruz Makes Dire Midterms Confession: 'I Am Deeply, Deeply Worried'
The Huffington Post ^ | October 31, 2026 | Marco Margaritoff

Posted on 11/02/2026 4:09:24 PM PST by MinorityRepublican

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) expressed deep concern about the upcoming midterms, admitting on the latest episode of his podcast, “The Verdict,” that he is “deeply worried” about Democrats taking back the House and Senate — and winning every statewide election in Texas.

“Overall, I am deeply, deeply worried,” Cruz said during the episode released Friday, adding: “What we’re seeing across the country is massive Democrat turnout. Democrats are showing up, they’re energized, they hate, hate, hate Donald Trump. And I don’t want to bury the lede.”

He warned, “I want to start with the bad news right now: If the election were over today, if just the early votes that have been cast so far were counted, Republicans would lose massively. It would not be close. We would lose both the House and the Senate. It would be a bloodbath.”

Democrats are turning out early to cast their votes in person in record numbers for a midterm election, surpassing or matching Republicans in key states, and many polls and experts predict Democrats will win majorities in both the House and Senate.

“By the way, Texas is excruciatingly close,” Cruz warned Friday. “Understand, we could lose Texas. Let me repeat that: We could lose Texas. And by the way, not just the Senate race, we could lose every single statewide race in Texas — that’s how close these numbers are.”

He noted, “Now, some conservatives, they say, ‘I don’t trust the polls. The polls are all wrong.’ Well, let me tell you, there is a bias in the polls; they do skew left, but I can tell you — having run a lot of campaigns, having examined a lot of numbers — these data are not fake.”

If Paxton loses its because Texas has been invaded by muslims and Hindus not because Talerico’s policy ideas.

It's the Huffington Puffington post. Always ignore anything they do or say.

Who does this dude, Marco Margaritoff, remind you of? Someone named Abdul?

I remember him going to the border in 2016 with his sidekick Glenn Beck and handing out soccer balls and Teddy bears (cute huh?) to illegal’s DACA offspring.
Then when he lost, acting like the Willie Wanker Blueberry Girl, all the way up to the convention.
Cruz can pound sand into a rathole.

Iran war fiasco (terrorists still in power and high oil/gas prices) + Trump BS talk for 8 months, Epstein Bondi fiasco, Klueless Kash with no one arrested or indicted for J6 civil rights violations, stupid Republican Congress passing more debt bills, ... doomed us and the Republican Party in this election.

Throughout this whole election, I just can’t see anyone that is the least bit conservative voting for a democrat. You don’t vote for the side that stands against almost everything you stand for just to send a message. I could see not voting or voting third party...I just can’t see crossovers. Not any more.

On the other hand, I also can’t see people thinking that democrats are the solution to the problems we’re facing. They are responsible for most of them, in fact. If the American electorate is that stupid (which I’ve often thought they are), then we’re doomed. It’s just a matter of time.
