We could do much worse in 2024 than Ted Cruz in whom I can see absolutely no evidence that he cannot "take it."

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.”

Amen!
Is this the same Ted we’re talkin’ about?
88Ted Cruz: ‘I Hope To Run’ For President Again**
Don’t worry Ted, we’d rather have the meaning of the 2nd Amendment gently euthanized from our cold dead hands by Four Dimensional Chess than have it publically executed by anti-aircraft firing squad by our Democratic Kim Jong Un wannabes.
Make America Greatful Again
Interestingly, those elected Republicans who defacto campaigned for Hillary Rotten Criminal and her anti 2A SCOTUS had no such concerns about gun control when they refused to support Trump post GOP convention.
Why do you think that is?
Cruz no longer has the right to voice his opinion? What are you afraid of?
Sure, he does. Does “vote your conscience” ring any bells? Given Cruz’s ambivalence to a President Hillary it seems obviously our 2A rights are just another political football for a Senator running his mouth.
Perhaps the lack of endorsement had something to do with Trump accusing Cruz’ father of complicity in the murder of John F. Kennedy. Or, perhaps it had something to do with attacking the physical appearance of Cruz’ wife. Who knows, Perhaps John Bolton would have some insight into what Cruz’ was feeling at the convention. Perhaps one’s stand on this matter depends on whether you think payback is a one-way street.
Cruz blamed Trump for organized left wing political violence at Trump’s Chicago rally. Cruz’s pastor father attacked President Trump’s religious beliefs.
If you’re going to dish it out you better be able to take it. Cruz and supporters can’t, obviously. And that’s why he will never be POTUS.
That’s being awfully kind. Cruz blatantly tried to sabotage Trump. He has a McCain streak goin’ on, I think.
Correct. And to the benefit of Hillary Criminal and her anti 2A SCOTUS. Where was Cruz’s concern for our 2A rights then?
These self interested gasbag Senators are so predictable. I will never vote for a US Senator for POTUS again no matter how good they sound.
“Barely”
Counts.
What do they call the guy who graduates at the bottom of his class in medical school?
Doctor.
President Trump, if you sign ANY bill on gun control then I, and many, many people who I know, will go to the range on Election Day. I don’t say this lightly, but this single issue is more important than any other. I am a STAUNCH supporter, but if you betray your promise on this issue then nothing else matters...the dictatorship is coming, either when you lose, or in 3025.

Yeah, Grant, Lee, Longstreet, Jackson, they sure were a bunch of pansies, right?
We could do much worse in 2024 than Ted Cruz in whom I can see absolutely no evidence that he cannot "take it."
so the voters will run to the Dems even though they know the Dems want to Ban and Take everything ,LOL
I did.
Cruz will lose if he doesn’t get on the campaign trail.
Down deep, Cruz hates Trump.
The Second Amendment gets my vote.;
I know, we're so horrible.
You're right, let's just burn it up.
If President Trump signs any new gun control legislation into law, we are screwed already. Might as well get an early start. AS of now, he hasn’t. I will just wait and see what happens.
A-HA! Having an unyielding approach to principles and freedom is a 'load of crap!'. Finally, I understand.
If you would stay home because of a law like that you would have stayed home anyway.
Incorrect.
Excellent “shoot the messenger” thread - thanks for posting!
Trump thoroughly failed with his bumpstock INFRINGEMENT. Further failure will not be tolerated.
