Ted Cruz Hits The Panic Button: 'We Could Lose Both Houses Of Congress
 

As much as I hate this fucker. He actually make sense for once. Dems flip enough seats and take majority of house and senate. We are going to see Donny boy be impeached (most likely he'll resign). Then Chuck and Nancy can live up to their promise of attaching DA to every bill or be challenged in 2020.

Sen Ted Cruz (R-Texas) has a warning for his fellow Republicans: The party is in danger of losing both houses of Congress in November.

Cruz said the “extreme left” could turn out in big numbers, motivated to fight the agenda of President Donald Trump.

“We know that the left is going to show up,” Cruz told conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt. “The extreme left, they’re angry. They’re filled with rage. They hate the president.”

Cruz also said that if the economy is booming and conservatives show up at the polls, his party could pick up as many as seven seats in the Senate and hold a “large, functioning majority.”

However, he also warned of the opposite scenario:

“If conservatives are complacent, and mark my words, we are going to see historic turnout from the extreme left in November, which means if conservatives stay home, we have the potential, we could lose both houses of Congress.”

If Democrats take control of the House, he predicted that Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) would become speaker again and immediately initiate impeachment proceedings against Trump.

Closer to home, Cruz also warned of a possible blue wave in the Lone Star State.

“In Texas, if conservatives stay home, if we rest on our laurels, we could see Texas turn blue,” he said. “We could see every statewide official in the state becoming a Democrat.”

He added that he didn’t think that was likely.

Democrats are facing a daunting Senate map this November, defending more seats than Republicans, including several in states that voted for Trump in 2016, such as Florida, Indiana, Missouri, Ohio, North Dakota and West Virginia.

Cruz himself is up for re-election. While his seat is considered safe, he’s facing a challenge from Rep. Beto O’Rourke, a Democrat from the El Paso area.

O’Rourke raised $2.3 million in the first six weeks of 2018, or nearly triple the $800,000 raised by Cruz over that period, according to the Texas Tribune.

While O’Rourke is still considered a long shot, the Cook Political Report changed Cruz’s seat from “Solid R” to a “Likely R” earlier this year.

*claps* well well....it is about time....

Re: Ted Cruz Hits The Panic Button: 'We Could Lose Both Houses Of Congress
 

If there was ever to be a Blue Wave, it will come in Nov

If no, welcome to Trump Dynasty

Re: Ted Cruz Hits The Panic Button: 'We Could Lose Both Houses Of Congress
 

Trump won't be impeached. It'll prob be more beneficial to the Dems to have someone incompetent at the WH.

Re: Ted Cruz Hits The Panic Button: 'We Could Lose Both Houses Of Congress
 

Trump will be impeached. He won't be indicted

Re: Ted Cruz Hits The Panic Button: 'We Could Lose Both Houses Of Congress
 

I think Blue Wave is just a dream.

Re: Ted Cruz Hits The Panic Button: 'We Could Lose Both Houses Of Congress
 

Ted Cruz is such a creep

Re: Ted Cruz Hits The Panic Button: 'We Could Lose Both Houses Of Congress
 

Then we truly are fucked, my friend. Better hope it becomes reality.

Re: Ted Cruz Hits The Panic Button: 'We Could Lose Both Houses Of Congress
 

Oh well. You guys are taking daca for granted. Im 100% sure that if you guys didnt have daca your opinion about the bullshit blue wave and waiting till 2020 would be very different.

Re: Ted Cruz Hits The Panic Button: 'We Could Lose Both Houses Of Congress
 

Nah. We aren't taking DACA for granted. There is a high chance it won't exist by the time the next Congress comes in. In fact, it is likely you who shouldn't care about this. You didn't qualify for DACA and it's end will not make a lick of difference to you. Don't believe me? Check out IAmaMan's posts about not wanting a DACA fix to happen this year and waiting until the Dems take control.

Re: Ted Cruz Hits The Panic Button: 'We Could Lose Both Houses Of Congress
 

I don't. My state is currently in the process of voting a new governor. The amount of young people and progressives that are showing up to make a change after getting face fucked by Trump last fall is really inspiring. I feel like Trump lit a fire under the ass of many people lmao

Re: Ted Cruz Hits The Panic Button: 'We Could Lose Both Houses Of Congress
 

At least if Ted Cruz was not elected, it would incite good feelings and celebration. Although, it may mark the return of Zodiac killings.

Re: Ted Cruz Hits The Panic Button: 'We Could Lose Both Houses Of Congress
 

There are dreamers who can wait and others who cant because they are about to get deported . All im saying is that if it wasnt for that judges order all of you guys wanting trump to get impeached would be thinking twice about it because he is the catalyst for something to happen either we like it or not. Republicans nor democrats give a shit about our suffering. And big hearted trump doesnt give a fuck about us either. So dont call me trump supporter. Once democrats win senate and congress they will go all uwd on us and say stupid shit like 11 million or nothing and then give us back daca because this country isn't ready for a "mass amnesty"

Re: Ted Cruz Hits The Panic Button: 'We Could Lose Both Houses Of Congress
 

Ted Cruz's face looked like protoplasm when he was on CNN today.

Cool beans, I get where you're coming from. I was just making the point that we aren't at ease right now. Many of us (the people who won't expire until 2019) are just as scared and uncertain about our future as we were before the court case. DACA won't last forever and nor should it. It's a status of constant uncertainty which is torture in itself.

Re: Ted Cruz Hits The Panic Button: 'We Could Lose Both Houses Of Congress
 

He can be indicted. The chance of him getting impeached is nearly impossible. Clinton wasn't impeached over lying about his sexual affair (inside the White House) on national TV. Democrats protected him. Republicans would protect Trump. President can be indicted while serving office.

Re: Ted Cruz Hits The Panic Button: 'We Could Lose Both Houses Of Congress
 

Well if a solution isnt reached now. Expect to live in uncertainty for a long time

Re: Ted Cruz Hits The Panic Button: 'We Could Lose Both Houses Of Congress
 

Clinton WAS impeached though.

Re: Ted Cruz Hits The Panic Button: 'We Could Lose Both Houses Of Congress
 

Ted Cruz is basing this off the Texas Primary. In which he got over 1 million votes and his opponents on the Dem side didn't add up to one million TOGETHER.

He's a blowhard. He's just trying to shore up his base, scare them like he always does, so that they're galvanized and come out to vote. I would NOT read much into this. Yeah, they may a lose a few seats. But it's nothing as he's making it out to seem to be.

Dems may win the Senate. They are not winning the House. And they're definitely not winning the Senate to the point to get any meaningful legislation i.e probably won't go over 52-53 seats as they'll probably lose Missouri and Indiana.

It might make a happy story that this is the year. But it's not. And for those that don't live in Texas, don't get your hopes up. This state is definitely NOT going blue or purple.

Re: Ted Cruz Hits The Panic Button: 'We Could Lose Both Houses Of Congress
 

Dems have a better chance of taking the house then the senate. Who’s mans is this?

Re: Ted Cruz Hits The Panic Button: 'We Could Lose Both Houses Of Congress
 

Yeah, the odds are in favor of Dems taking the house. Senate is going to be hard.

Re: Ted Cruz Hits The Panic Button: 'We Could Lose Both Houses Of Congress
 

Clinton was impeached by the House but was not trialed by the Senate. He did not resign after impeachment.

man Congress sure took lying under oath seriously

oh wait didn;t a certain Sessions lied under oath?

Re: Ted Cruz Hits The Panic Button: 'We Could Lose Both Houses Of Congress
 

Got_Daca ! Let’s start a thread “the final countdown to 2020”

Re: Ted Cruz Hits The Panic Button: 'We Could Lose Both Houses Of Congress
 

It's not that easy. I won't bet my life on the Blue Wave.

Re: Ted Cruz Hits The Panic Button: 'We Could Lose Both Houses Of Congress
 

Florida has just had an influx of Puerto Ricans and a sizable population of those to begin with. Guess who completely embezzled the relief funds and a year later the island is still without power? Puerto Ricans are US Citizens and can vote.

ND, WV, and MT are strange in that their senators are popular on their own. Heitcamp is leading by a few points and Manchin will win anyways.

Ohio - wildcard and a swing state, most likely will go blue solely due to the anti-president effect, where the minority party actually gets off their asses and votes.

Missouri - McCaskill is pretty popular and she's being challenged by a complete douchebag republican. She'll squeak through.

Indiana - This one is a huge question mark. You never hear about Donnelly, it basically all depends on the Trump Slump. His challengers aren't known and therefore aren't particularily strong but... it is Indiana.

And now for republican seats:

NV - Heller is toast, dem will take it.
AZ - Hard to gauge, the seat is currently ranked as a tossup. It might flip. We'll have a better view once the damn voting actually starts there.
TX - Judging from how fired up democrat voters are, Cruz has every right to be shitting his pants.
TN - Long shot but considering that a popular former D governor is running for an open seat, it is winnable, moreso than Cruz's seat.
MS Special - This one is an interesting case since special elections in Mississippi are decided by a non-partisan primary followed by a run-off if no one gets above 50%. Technically a democrat could snag the open seat but it'd be a miracle like what happened in AL. Mississippi is also about 40% black, which is a heavy D block.
MS, NE, WY, UT - Basically safe R unless a lot changes.

Another possibility is that McCain kicks the bucket or resigns soon giving us another special election.

Re: Ted Cruz Hits The Panic Button: 'We Could Lose Both Houses Of Congress
 

The situations are a little different. We don't know the extent of what Trump did (he's acting very guilty), but if he and his campaign did collude with a foreign power to get elected then that's a more serious crime than lying about a sexual affair.

Re: Ted Cruz Hits The Panic Button: 'We Could Lose Both Houses Of Congress
 

The dude might have switched impeachment and indictment... Senate will not have the 2/3 votes for an indictment unless as you said, collusion charge was filed (Although even with it, some republicans won't give a poop)

Re: Ted Cruz Hits The Panic Button: 'We Could Lose Both Houses Of Congress
 

Clinton had the affair during the white house presidency. Trump had the affair prior to becoming a president right?

Re: Ted Cruz Hits The Panic Button: 'We Could Lose Both Houses Of Congress
 

The two things are very different though

Re: Ted Cruz Hits The Panic Button: 'We Could Lose Both Houses Of Congress
 

Trump also worked with a foreign government and probably still does. The longer you look at the probe the more colorful it looks, Russians, Chinese, Saudis, Emiratis, dead spies, and the founder of Blackwater who's the brother of Betsy Devos (Trump's Sec of Education).

Multiple campaign members have taken plea deals, his son in law is under investigation. 10 bucks says that Sessions is under a heavy investigation himself. Trump? You can be sure his taxes are being read 20 times over because he was definitely laundering money or pulling other shenanigans.



The affair with that porn star is more meant to drive a wedge between him and the "christian" right but who are we kidding, they'll pivot to make cheating okay if Trump does it. It's meant more to depress republican turn out than be a serious ground of impeachment later.

Re: Ted Cruz Hits The Panic Button: 'We Could Lose Both Houses Of Congress
 

Distractions.

Our focus is on protection for Dreamers (not only Daca) irrespective of this clown getting reelected.

Re: Ted Cruz Hits The Panic Button: 'We Could Lose Both Houses Of Congress
 

Wrong again like always ElRato. The blue wave as predicted was nothing more than a trickle by an incontinent poodle.

Trump will go on to win 2020 because there is no viable dem

Re: Ted Cruz Hits The Panic Button: 'We Could Lose Both Houses Of Congress
 

Whose focus?
