ABC host George Stephanopoulos mentioned Cruz's warning that Texas could be a potential background state in the 2020 presidential election and noted that five Republican House members from the state have come forward saying they would not seek reelection next year.
Cruz claimed that the third Democratic presidential debate in Houston on Thursday was a "very bad night" for Democrats because the candidates did not mention the economy's relative strength through the third quarter of this year.
"If you look at Thursday night, the entire night of the debate, not a single Democrat talked about jobs, not a single Democrat talked about the economy, about the fact that we've got the lowest African American unemployment ever recorded, the lowest Hispanic unemployment ever recorded," Cruz said.
"Instead what the Democrats told the American people is they want to raise your taxes, they want to triple the price you pay for a gallon of gas at the pump, they want open borders, they want to take away your health insurance and they want to take away your guns," the Texas senator continued.
Cruz asserted the Democratic candidates' policy proposals are "designed to resonate in the faculty lounges at an Ivy League college" and challenged Stephanopoulos to find one working American who supports their agenda.
"I think Donald Trump has broken the Democratic party," Cruz said. "They are defined now just by hating him. They ought to be the party of jobs. They used to be a party focused on jobs, they're not anymore."

Agree. Cruz could be a “lion” in the Senate if he’d forget about becoming President and step up and LEAD the Republican party in the direction Trump wants to go. They really don’t disagree on much, and Cruz does seem to be the type who can get behind the team. There’s nothing wrong with being a strong #2 and Lord knows we need strong Trumpian leaders in Congress.
PING

Now if he could just break the uni-party republicans too. They’re as much an enemy to liberty as any democrat.
Pompeo is the only viable, electable conservative I even see for the 2024 race. Pence is WAY too mild mannered to carry on for Trump, IMO.
” ...hes no force of nature as Trump is.”
Who is?????
Never saw anyone like that in my life, not have I ever seen so much hate spewed at one person in my (long) life.
“He REALLY wanted to be president”
The Deep State would have eaten him up (and anyone else besides Trump).
Agreed.
Flimsey Grahamnesty has lots of support here on FR despite his THREE amnesty votes and his support for red flag laws.
He’s doing the McCain two-step to get re-elected and people are buying it.
As soon as he is re-elected he will be trying to abandon the rule of law again and give our country away.
He has repeatedly said he will not stop trying to pass amnesty until he is removed from office.
We should take him at his word.
If the democratic party is truly broken, it should go down in history the same as when the Soviet Union broke down.
I propose that Labor Day be scrapped and Constitutional Republic Day take its place.
To put in terms that a typical Democrat voter can understand: one gallon of gasoline is equal to one hour of work at the minimum wage. You have to work one hour to buy a gallon of gasoline. You must work two days to fill up your tank.
Let that sink into some people's head.
Pompeo, Nunes, or Mulvaney are my first choices.
I think Donald Trump has also broken the Republican party side of the deep state. They are defined now just by hating him.
Cruz is right - that's what they told Stephanopoulos ... in front of all of us.
Oh and by the way Stephanopoulos had dinner at Epstein's New York Mansion AFTER Epstein was convicted...and let loose... along with Charlie Rose... and other degenerates.
So are you trying to be a disruptor, cause rifts and try to work against Trump be re-elected?
Finally after nearly 3 years, the light has come on.
Oh and Ted, you are not going to be President.
What President Trump did, was show everyone what the Democrat Party has turned into..they are no longer the liberal party, they are now the Communist Party..they want everyone they disagree with dead or unable to fight back..they want us to submit..they want their own Communist version of America, and they want us all to live in it
You break it, you own it
Have to say, the Democrats have been owned by President Trump for pretty much the last 3 years
President Trump deserves credit to be sure. But lets not forget idiots like Pelosi, Cortez, Biden, Beto et al all are to blame for breaking the democratic party.

But it’s their inability to understand Trump that allows them to go to extremes attacking him. And going to extremes attacking Trump allows them to feel comfortable voicing the extremes of their own beliefs.
Without Trump, I don’t think the demonrat party would be so open about being the evil demon rats they all are.
