Ted Cruz Warns Democrats Could Have ‘Massive Wins’ in Texas
Breitbart ^ | 9/17/2016 | LANA SHADWICK

Posted on 09/17/2016 9:18:50 PM PDT by BlackFemaleArmyColonel

Senator Ted Cruz warned patriots gathered for a Constitution Day gathering that Democrats could have “massive wins” in the large urban counties in Texas “if one, two, or three percent stay home.” Cruz also called Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton “manifestly unfit” to be president.

“It would not take that many to have an enormous impact on this election,” he said. He warned of the effect that staying home would have on judicial, Texas state representative and senate races, and other races in down-ballot elections.

The Texas senator and former GOP presidential candidate also cautioned about the impact outside of Texas saying the U.S. Senate was “hanging by a thread.” Cruz said, “Whatever happens, we need a check of a Republican Senate to check the executive and protect our liberty.” He created quite a reaction from the crowd, including loud Boos, when he raised the possibility of “Majority Leader Chuck Schumer.” Cruz urged everyone to come out and “defend the Constitution of the United States.”

When speaking of the race for president, he noted that three of the justices on the U.S. Supreme Court are quite advanced in years and the next president will have the opportunity to select the justices to replace them. Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg is 83-years-old, Justice Anthony Kennedy is 80, and Justice Stephen Breyer is 78-years-old.

Senator Cruz said that the Second Amendment, free speech, state’s rights, individual liberty, and U.S. sovereignty, hangs in the balance because of the presidential judicial appointment power. Other countries “are buying our nation” and want to take away our freedoms, he said. “Hillary Clinton is manifestly unfit to represent the United States,” he charged, and he delighted the crowd when he added, “I have some government housing in mind for her, but it’s a little smaller and has fewer windows.”

Is this what they call a “soft” endorsement? Mr. Ted should come to a finality of understanding that his rejection by the voters would have occurred whether Trump was in the race or not. That he can hold a grudge for so long proves we made the right decision.

Cruz broke his oath. That’s not opinion but fact. I’ve had enough BS over the last 8 years from another foreigner to last a lifetime.
If he wasn’t prepared to endorse Trump, as he promsed, he should have phoned it in.

Why the end of Oct.? What was wrong with today? It should have already been given back in July at the Convention.

That is the fact Jack, and indeed he can't walk it back.

Of course I am in total agreement with you.

I don't really have a logical theory, I mean this is Ted Cruz after all.
I've been thinking he'd just do it as late as possible, and while it may obviously never happen, I definitely wasn't expecting Dan Patrick to endorse and then that happened.
Patrick has blasted Trump non stop for as long as I can remember.

He’s right that URBAN districts will have democrats win... That’s what’s caused the crap in Houston and other places where libs are creating little enclaves of insanity within TX... Can’t win the state, but can win urban districts.

Telling statement right there...sounds like he thinks they need the status quo (useless) senate even if Trump wins.

Today, the founder of the Remembrance Project (based in Houston) said they had written to every GOP Presidential Candidate early on, and only one even responded. Of course that one was Trump.

It really galled me that the Presidential Candidate from Houston, Ted Cruz, had not even acknowledged their letter to him, or responded.

What’s that old saying about the way you treat people on your way up because you’re going to see them on your way down?
I think Cruz will be seeing them over the next two years.

We could also have a MASSIVE EXPLOSION somewhere is Texas thanks to all the criminal and illegal cartel shit Hillary and OBOMB-A are bringing in who also use bombs and terrorism and beheadings, or one of OBOMB-A’s and Hillary’s muslim males of military age “refugees” or their offspring, or BLM domestic terrorists or Nation of Islam or Black Panthers all who Hillary wants their votes...

In fact, I am counting on a massive explosion. Very soon.

In spite of Cruz disappointing me by failing to endorse Trump, it seems he is making a case to vote for Trump. I also think that Cruz will turn out to be a strong ally of president Trump because, in spite of their personal disagreements, they are on the same side of most issues.
