Mr President, if we get to November of [2026] and people’s 401(k)s are down 30% and prices are up 10–20% at the supermarket, we’re going to go into election day, face a bloodbath
Wow, I agree with something Ted Cruz said. That doesn't happen often.
fuck you, Ted
And I agree with something Trump said? On the same day, no less. What are the odds?

Thirty percent? Is that all it would take?
You ever talked a weed republican? Stingiest people on earth. I could see them not voting.
(They used to be called 'libertarians' but its clear now they don't give a shit about rights, just weed)
To be fair, I don't know if there's a person on earth who doesnt want to say "Fuck you Ted" to Ted Cruz. Hate Trump, don't blame him for that one though.
Even a broken clock hates Ted Cruz as they say
There's not a single person on earth?? That's a bit of an exaggeration. The people of Texas continue voting for "Fled Cruz"...
Flyin’ Ted
he recently fled to california, to avoid "freezing to death" so he can shed his reptilian skin.
"[Y]ou’re going to spend the next two years being impeached every single week.”
Ted Cruz has more faith in Democrats than I do.
They shouldn't impeach Trump every week. Some weeks we should impeach Noem, Clarence Thomas, Besset, Hegseth, Mike Johnson, and a bunch of others.
The WH has become a sieve and I'm here for it.
I just wish the Whitehouse was boring again.
Remember the days when sex between consenting adults was a scandal?
I wish it was a crater.
Your wish is 1/3 of the way fulfilled.
Don't amplify this greasy shit-weasel's attempt to distance himself from the fascist regime he's been taint-suckling for years. The only next Cruz headline that is relevant will be "Cruz resigns in humiliation and disgrace..."
Trump is losing the narrative. He spent so much time talking about Biden and Obama policies and how he was going to fix them, and then when he implemented his fixes and they didn't work, he just doubled down that they did because back then, his sycophants just believed anything he said. Now that everyone can see him for what he is, he can't hide behind the lies anymore. Even my parents, who were staunch supporters of his during both elections, have gone quiet. Couple that with the current state of ICE, his threats to Canada and Greenland (and Iceland by idiot-proxy), and the glossing of the Epstein files, there is a lot of ammo against the Republicans going into Midterms. Its no wonder he keeps pawing around the idea of skipping them entirely. He's running out of time before falling over the cliff. Trump got away with what he did because he was a useful idiot. However, they overfed the beast and he got fat. Now he's gotten too large and is blocking the progress that the GOP thought it was going to make. How long before they stuff his bloated political corpse full of dynamite and blow him off the beach?
There is also evidence the economy may be motivating those who voted for Trump in 2024 but now disapprove of him
"Single issue voters have been stung by the other thing he said he would do, but they didn't listen to, because wasn't that one thing they were bothered about."
you’re going to spend the next two years being impeached every single week.
What a wonderful dream!
Ngl Ted being privately concerned about the midterms is the biggest "sign of life" that we will be having midterms.
This article is about a phone conversation in early 2025, so don't be so sure about those elections.
Actually, Trump's reaction may be.
If he would have said "Don't worry" with his trademark schoolyard mafioso wannabe smirk, then it would be worrying.
Raphael Cruz is learning about leopards eating faces.
Fuck the WHOLE GOP
This screams for Untergang Hitler video.
I wonder if trump fully bought into the election meddling thing and now his narsacism if raging against so many people not liking what he's doing
Nah. Trump did that whole dog and pony show about the election being stolen as a preparation for him doing the very same thing. He tried in 2016, he most definitely tried in 2020 (and surprisingly got his ass handed to him), and 100% cheated the 2024 elections as well.
Why the show, you might ask? Quite elementary, my dear Watson. Republicans have been using the "they're doing it, so we might as well" argument for ages. Relentlessly accuse your opponent that they're cheating on the election, then when it turns out that YOU cheated, well, "but the other side did too". And to your followers that fully justifies your cheating, even if your opponent didn't do anything...
FINALLY, someone who gets it. Of course he cheated in 2024. He's cheated at literally everything in his life, are we supposed to believe that the election on which his personal freedom was on the line, was the first time in his life that he played it "Fair & Square?" Especially since he had the open commitment and assistance from two foreign oligarchs with full access to the best hacking resources on the planet.
When we take it back, we have to prove it, and then declare Trump's entire presidency invalid, and roll back all legislation, EOs, appointments, and PARDONS. Put all of those Traitors back in jail, where they can hang with their MAGA idols.
Musk helped him through his starlink.
No, Jack Smith finally got to testify last week and according to him, one of the main points of evidence he worked to produce in order to convict at trial was that Trump was very aware he had lost the election in 2020.
That's part of what makes everything Trump did afterwards the actual crime of election interference and not just sour apples.
Trump don't care
Is Raphael still in California, or has he returned to TX now that the storm is over?
I gotta say, I agree with both their statements.
“You’re going to lose the House, you’re going to lose the Senate, you’re going to spend the next two years being impeached every single week.”
And maybe, just maybe this time, Republicans who are getting soured on by what Trump is doing, may not protect him. McConnell will not be there this time to protect Trump.
I hope so, but I'm not optimistic. Starting in 2016 the GOP centered their entire platform around Trump. Candidates completed to be the most dedicated Trump supporters. Republicans who weren't on board either resigned or were largely replaced at the polls with MAGA candidates. They can't abandon him; it would be a total identity crisis. They are going to ride the Trump train to the bitter end.
We all know Raphael doesn't have a spine, if he's willing to say this, it means trump has already lost massive support not only from Republicans but the donors who back them.
Ted Cruz deserves the guillotine.
he will just grow a new head as reptilian alien humanoid.
Puta merda. What a punchable face.
Sucks to suck
Inshallah
The next president will promise to fix everything that Trump broke. I'm sure of it.

is cruz on the verge of losing his seat, probably not. but i think a few dems in texas voted for ice funding, and they are afraid to lose thier seats(they ice facilities in thier district)
A BLOODBATH? For DEMOCRATS? Quick! We need to give ICE More Funding to CEMENT our Victory!
-Democrats!
Puta merda. If ever he gets cuffed send him back to Cuba to stand trial for crime against humanity.
