The incumbent Texas senator warned that Democrats will show up in big numbers this year—both in his state and nationwide.

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) issued a warning to his party on Tuesday as voters in his own state head to the primary polls: Democrats will show up in droves this year.

“We could have a terrific election in November,” Cruz said on conservative author Hugh Hewitt’s radio show. “We could win five, six, seven Senate seats. We could have a large functioning majority in the Senate.”

However, he cautioned, the opposite outcome seems entirely possible.

“The flip side, if conservatives are complacent, we know that the left is going to show up,” the senator explained. “The extreme left, they’re angry. They’re filled with rage. They hate the president. 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.”

1. And hopefully he's one of the assholes to go

Yeah we are pissed and it isn't just the "extreme left" fuckface. Hopefully Beto runs your ass into the ground

27. Pissed? Hardly begins to describe it. White-hot fury, blood in our glowing red eyes.

Raging like a big green hulk.
A roiling, foaming blue tsunami.

And further colorful metaphors....

[onecaliberal]

33. That.

[Liberalagogo]

2. "We could have a large functioning majority in the Senate.

Not if you're still in it, assface.

[radliberal]

3. Let's Hope So!

good riddance

[Angry Dragon]

4. Cruz uses strange word to describe repubs............ functioning

[lagomorph777]

28. Hey, it could happen. And pigs could fly.

[Stryst]

5. Based on special elections

and early registration, I think that we WILL take both houses. Immediately after we're gong to see a rash of groundless ethics complaints and attempted recall elections for about six months against newly elected Dems.

Of course, I also expected Clarence Thomas to retire to go harass young women full time and let Trump replace him with a conservative vote with more longevity, so the hell do I know?

[murielm99]

12. And they will try to delay seating our winners with

endless recounts and by tying things up in court. We must persist. Even if it takes six months to a year, we must not give up.

[bucolic_frolic]

6. Thank you, Bowel Head

Your smear of wisdom has been duly noted

[Augiedog]

7. Could? You are going to loose because you are losers and America is waking up to that fact.

[Sneederbunk]

8. No blood on your hands Lyin Ted?

[Initech]

9. I look forward to their demise!

[redstatebluegirl]

10. The "extreme left" "the boogeyman" .

Most of the people I know who are totally angry, scared and working hard to beat them are middle of the road democrats and independents who are terrified of him and the rest of these idiots. Of course saying "extreme left" demonizes Americans who don't agree with him and works like a dog whistle to his base.

[ProudMNDemocrat]

11. No shit, Sherlock.....Errrr Ted.

What have Republicans done for this country since the 2010 Midterm elections? Not a damn thing.

Obstruct Obama at every turn, turn their noses to the American people by ignoring their cries for sensible gun legislation, give tax cuts to the rich, and not overseeing the corruption of the Trump Administration. And they want to remain in power?

Not if the kids, their parents, and grandparents in this country have anything to say about it!

[Stallion]

13. "I'm TED CRUZ!!!!"

from Our Cartoon President

[rainin]

14. His humiliation is complete.

After his wife was called ugly and his father was called a Nazi, he turned around and put his face right up into trumps ass. Now, he gets to lose his seat because of a trump-induced blue wave.

hahahahahaha Suck that, asshole. Maybe your wife will leave you when you can't pay the bills.

[JDC]

15. Because of greasy, self-serving jackasses like you Ted

[trueblue2007]

16. Teddy, hey moron.... you're right. BLUE WAVE COMING. You will drown.

[SoCalMusicLover]

17. Don't Forget, They Have The Russians' Help

In order to defeat these CRIMINALS, it has to be a landslide so big, that they lose a high percentage of their races. A bloodbath so big, even the Russian hackers can't switch enough votes to make a difference.

If it's close enough, you can bet they will try to steal. The only solution is sending a message that YOU ARE THE PROBLEM, AND NOW YOU'RE GOING TO PAY.

[flibbitygiblets]

18. Even if all the R's stopped being greedy a-holes, they still got that tRump stank all over them

...and ain't no amount of tomato juice gonna wash it off. You COULD have done the decent thing. You COULD have said "hey, this Russian shit is fucking unpatriotic and we won't have that". But NO. You had to be a greedy asshole who would do anything to stay in power. I hope you all lose. I hope you all burn in hell.

[beachbum bob]

19. cruz is worried only about cruz and the tremondous enthusiam among texas democrats to rid their

state of this embarrassment. He has good reason to fear, trump is toxic and minority voters are enraged with all the anti-immgran talk and silence from Cruz on dreamers and such.


be prepared for some surprises come November Ted, you losing among them

[FakeNoose]

20. Not one Republican deserves to be re-elected

They had so many chances, didn't do shit! Times up guys!

[MFM008]

21. That would be awful

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

22. From the Fish Monster's creepy lips to The Big Electron's ears! nt

[SnowCritter]

23. You say that like it would be a bad thing

C'mon, Teddy! Taking the reins from Republicans would be the best thing that could happen.

[charliea]

24. Ted, you almost got it Right!

"...we should lose both houses of Congress.” FIFY


#RESIST

[duforsure]

25. Starting with the most hated man in Congress

Ted Cruz. Everywhere I go people here in Texas are fired up to vote him, and all the other republiCONS out of office, and the numbers don't lie. The Democrats with trumps help, and these crooks in Congress helping, have everyone pissed at what they've done, what they're doing, and enabling Putin and trump to infect this country now. They have to go, and the numbers shows too many agree for them to rig it this time. The people are out voting , keep it up!

[jmowreader]

26. And...that would be GOOD, right?

The only hope this country has is to elect enough Democrats to Congress to start repealing and overturning as much of the crap Trump has come up with as we can, as soon as possible.

[onetexan]

29. that might take years but first things first, win back majority control of either chambers

[C_U_L8R]

30. Yes. You will.

Thank you Captain Obvious.

[rock]

31. And the presidency

So?

[Grins]

32. "...if conservatives stay home...we could lose both houses of Congress.

"...if conservatives stay home...we could lose both houses of Congress.”

We, Kemosabe?

[UpInArms]

34. Not just the extreme left, asshole

67% of this country sees right through your bullshit

[duforsure]

35. No Ted

You ARE going to lose both the House and the Senate. And hopefully you'll be one of them if Texas voters have a say in it, and not Putin and trump.

[Skittles]

36. ONE CAN ONLY DREAM
