Prior to his speech at CPAC Thursday afternoon, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) didn’t mince words. He bluntly told reporters how nervous he is about the president’s final 20 months in office.
“The next 20 months are going to be very dangerous,” he said. “They are going to be dangerous at home. President Obama has reacted to this last election in a way that’s unprecedented. You know, prior presidents have been repudiated [and] they’ve reacted with contrition. [P]resident Obama, instead, reacted with anger and defiance.”
“I believe the next 20 months we are going to see a degree of lawlessness that will exceed anything we’ve seen in the previous six years,” he continued. “I think we’re going to see executive order after executive order. I think we’re going to see the abuse of regulations in a way that crushes small businesses, destroys jobs. I think we are going to see the continued weaponization of the IRS in the federal government, and it is going to be dangerous.”
He expressed hope, however, that Congressional Republicans will fulfill their constitutional duties and, as he put it, “rein in that abuse of power and provide meaningful oversight.” But unfortunately, he said, there are other concerns to be worried about as well.
“And I’ll tell you as dangerous as it’s going to be at home, it’s going to be even more dangerous aboard,” he emphasized. “Every bad actor on the face of the globe, from Putin to Khomeini in Iran to ISIS, has every incentive possible to do as much damage as they can in [the next] 20 months."
Why?
Because, he argued, "the tyrants of the world believe there is no credible threat or deterrent from this president.”
Since the GOPee is unlikely to step up to the challenge, the GOPee will be creamed in 2016.
......He argued, “the tyrants of the world believe there is no credible threat or deterrent from this president.”
No threat? Of course not, this pRez is IN on it with them!
I agree with him.
Keep it up, Ted.
this is like me telling you a guy I know is gonna break into your house steal all your stuff and kill your dog but I am unwilling to stop him even though I could.
Yo Ted, GOP if you’re not gonna stop him shut the F up
20 months? January 17, 2017 is 22 months and 19 more days of 0bama. I hate to disagree with Cruz, but he is understating the danger this country is in.
It is good to know at least one person in DC knows what is really going on.
Is Ted taking it to the next level? I sure hope so!
Keep whacking Obama, because he deserves all the whacking he can get!
Each time I hear Ted Cruz speak the word “lawless” the “man of sin” from the Bible comes to mind. Could o_bast*rd be the one or is he a forerunner? I did not think he was, but now I am beginning to wonder.
Desperate times call for desperate measures.
Cruz is exactly right.
The Repubes aren’t going to do squat. Sometimes I think they want the same things he does. They will bend over and hand him a jar of Vaseline.
I’m with Ted. 18 more mos of crazy domestic jihad by OMuslim.

Bizarre post.
Cruz wants to stop Obama. The rest of the GOP doesn't.
There is no reason why I would want Cruz to "shut the F up".
Perhaps you should.
I was thinking about that tonight, we should know soon.
