Thanks, Ted, we'll take it from here.

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) warned that President Trump will lose in 2020 if he cuts a deal with Democrats regarding gun control.
Roll Call reports that Cruz offered this observation while speaking to reporters at a Thursday breakfast. He contended that conservative voters will stay home if Trump and the Republicans as a whole cave to Democrat demands.
He was asked about the possibility of Trump making a deal with gun control stalwarts Sens. Chris Murphy (D-CT) and Joe Manchin (D-WV).
Cruz said, “We’re going to see record-setting Democratic turnout. The only element missing is demoralizing conservatives so they stay home. I hope we don’t do that.”
He also noted, “If Republicans abandon the Second Amendment and demoralize millions of Americans who care deeply about Second Amendment rights, that could go a long way to electing a President Elizabeth Warren.”
Cruz also suggested it would be a big mistake for Trump to voice support for the Democrats’ background check bill, saying, “It would also be a serious mistake as a policy matter.”

No, he won’t - not to that bunch of lunatic Stalinists.
Ted is right, like it or not. Plenty of people are going to sit it out.
I do not believe President Trump has indicated he will go for any new gun control measures. This is just Cruz talking out his yang again.
The ‘knee jerk’ reaction is tiresome.
Hahaha ted is funny. Warren has no chance. Suck an egg in closet you Cuban Canadian.
Ted needs a blanket
No deals! Except constitutional clarification of “infringed” for dumbasses with comprehension inability.
Old Ted was not concerned about tanking Trump’s election prospects when he refused to endorse him at the GOP convention! A disgraceful evening that was topped off with that mental case Lee from Utah all red-faced & screaming at the stage.
Seriously...Cruz is looking for some press here & stating the obvious.
A million people here have said he would lose if he did and that they wouldn’t even VOTE for him.
Ted says it and stupid comments abound :)
More stupid than not voting for Trump in 2020.
Or at least tied.
Isn’t he the guy that barely beat beto?
Agreed. Cruz creating a strawman to put some distance between himself and POTUS for some reason. Cruz is sneaky and ambitious and not to be fully trusted. Not sure what’s with him over the last couple of days but he’s letting the mask slip.
For good reason.
What does that say about Trump then? Cruz may be intelligent but Trump is in an entirely different category.
True. But if he can get repeal of the existing krap laws and refs , he will win re-election and the eternal thanks of millions and millions of Americans. Can we ever get bad laws repealed in this country? Since prohibition

We will see what happens. He either will or he won’t
That’s what Cruz did to depress the Republican vote for himself.
Cruz is not that smart and as another poster aptly stated, he did not endorse Trump at the convention.
