Trump won in 2016 because Democrat polling and turn out in Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania was very poor.
How many Freepers know that Mitt Romney got more votes in Wisconsin than Trump got, and Romney lost the state by 7%!
Bottom Line - there are more Democrats than Republicans. If they turn out at the same rate that we turn out - we lose!
He's an arrogant open-borders prick (and non-natural-born-citizen) who is still inwardly seething that PDJT defeated his dirty tricks with delegates to win the Presidency.
Remember, he chose Carly "No American has a right to a job" Fiorina as his running mate in a lame, futile bid to revive his sinking campaign.
IF the EVIL, VILE, VICIOUS< HATEFUL LYING DESTROYERS of good people take over the govt., then America is too far gone to save it!!
The very unlikable Ted Cruz beat the fired up rats in Texas. Trump will carry Texas.
It is always about turn out. Trump base will turn out.
Cruz is an ass, and his analysis of 2020 is not worth squat.
Yes the far left will be fired up, but until we know who the rat candidate is we will not know how things will play out.
And then there is Spygate, no one knows how big that is going to be.
I am,today,what you could call a "broken glass" voter...meaning I'm willing to crawl over broken glass to get to the polls on Election Day.
But then I live in Massachusetts (the "Gay State") so it could be argued that my votes don't mean much.But I'll still be there.
Folks who live in "swing states" should absolutely be planning to crawl over broken glass next year...if necessary!
I’d rather have some concern than to blithely expect to win so easily that one needn’t invest of himself to make it happen...
Take FR for example - Jim is always running hard to the last minute to keep FR funded and we have so many lazy/cheap/FReeloading leeches that there’s no reason for each quarterly fundraiser to take more than a few weeks...our electorate resembles the FR mix (or the other way around)...
Don’t worry Ted. We’ll all just vote our conscience.

Cruz is 100% right on this matter. It’s all going to come down to turn out. If the Dens turn them out like they did in ‘08 and ‘12 they will win the house, Senate and WH. That’s not to mention that this new wave of Dems will alter the constitution and, if necessary, alter the Supreme Court so that they can alter the constitution.
Instead of mindless jingoism and knee jerk talking points it would be better to concentrate on voter turnout and getting better conservatives to run in the primaries to defeat these RINOs.
True we won in ‘16 but let’s be honest, we did it by the skin of our teeth and we did not have the popular vote (Please spare me the lectures on how our electoral system work- I am only making the point we need to engage more people into voting for us)If we are to win in ‘20 we need to get more people to the polls and just as important, we need to monitor and expose the Dems dirty tricks. Because as we know, they are dishonest people and they will cheat.(queue in Captain Obvious)
The bigger pointmade by Cruz is that we all need to work hard at the grassroots level. We all know people who feel like we do but they just don’t vote. Venting here or on social media may be therapeutic but it’s not going to get us what we need- more voters in 2020.
Truth is, the left WILL turn out for 2020.
The media’s lies has them terrified. We laugh, but they actually believe that nonsense. (Partly because they want to believe it) I am still praying that Trump exposes ALL the shenanigans and we clean the slate well before election time.
Ted didn’t bother campaigning last time which led to Beto rising in popularity so quickly. Seriously, flat out ignored the race. I’m having concerns with Ted not getting in there fighting to save his and other’s seats.
Turn about is fair play.
Cruz certainly knows a thing or two about dividing a base.

He seems to have the basic facts right:
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...”
Anybody disagree with this one? I've got family members (who are normally apolitical moderates) who hate Mr. Trump. Why? No specifics; it's probably from the constant stream of anti-Trump fake news, left-wing media commentary, and driveby opinion. Heck, my mother (who lived through the Great Depression) recently told me, "This is the worst period in the country's history." Probably heard that (about a million times) from George Stuffinenvelopes.
...it all comes down to turnout...
Anybody disagree with that? Unfortunately, the 'center-right' tends to get complacent, and doesn't turn out. I'll believe the "Anybody But Bernie/Biden/Beto/Buttigieg/Bozo" crowd will actually get off their @sses and vote, AFTER they cast their ballots - just like the last few elections...
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.
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?
I speculate that Ted is intentionally lowering expectations to stimulate the conservative base.
A close election is a stealable election.
