That's not quite what he said, but there is some good information here.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — “I’m worried about 2020, I think it’s 50-50. I think it’s a coin flip,” said Ted Cruz, the Republican U.S. Senator from Texas. The 2020 presidential race happens when the country is “deeply divided.” “It is an incredibly polarized country,” he said. “I think it all comes down to turnout.”

“I think the Left is going to show up in massive numbers,” he continued. “And it all comes down to who shows up on the center-right.”

Ted Cruz was on the Ben Shapiro Show Sunday when, 45-minutes into the interview, Shapiro asked Cruz for his assessment of the 2020 election cycle. That is when Cruz warned that the Democrats could sweep both houses of congress and win the presidency. Then they will proceed to perform great harm to the country, he said...

I don't think anyone posted it but TX has a campaign to sign up 1,000,000 new Republicans. If the Dems win all 3 national, executive, US house and senate, I'll definitely be deeply  concerned.

If the democommies win, the republic is gone. They will only win if enough illegals vote, the turnout of low information voters is high, and their voter fraud plans go smoothly.

If you find it I'd like to see it, @TomSea.

I'd honestly watch for a wild card such as the black or minority vote. I honestly think a lot of blacks don't care for the Dems. You only have to shave off a few percentage points to surge into the lead. I really question me polls but Zogby is friendly to Republicans and the WH allegedly had a March internal poll that was negative. I can't believe i we'll have to dig in.

There is no way in hell that the Democrats could do this if the President and Republicans got off their butts and did what they said they would do.  Yes, there is a Socialist drive by liberals and they have been indoctrinating our youth.  So we need to spell it out to the youngsters that free isn't free.  With some action and good campaigning to reach minorities and youth the Democratic party would go down.  But I don't know about everyone else but I am sick to death of the Mueller investigation.  This country and the Republican party is stuck on stupid.  Look at what's happening.  We are being invaded.  Our cities are full of homelessness, crime and drugs.  Wait any longer for action and our youth will all be lost to socialism and drugs.

This is the only source I found, Wahington Examiner.  Nothing from the Texas sources.

It is very wrong for them to vote this way, but I think a good number of youth will vote for the Dems, that's a big part of the problem. Of course, some youth have their heads straight on too.

Thanks, Tom.  I'm going to post that in Texas.

See if you can find a Texas Source. I couldn't find one.

I initially heard it reported on radio but I'm not sure where.

Just do a good news search if you think Wash. Examiner is making up stories,

Engage Texas has been an organization for a few years, I did see articles on them.

It really is not uncommon for states or even for nationwide, for there to be organizations that try to sign up more votes.

There is even an organization formed in Texas during the Bush admin whose purpose is to go into swing states and do exactly that, sign up new voters. Nothing new here actually.

I could find that article later.

Just check voter turnout per states, any state, to see how many people don't even vote,TX is a little over half  (52-55% for presidential elections) voting which isn't too good but I think a whole lot of states stand at around those percentages. All that info is available.

Which is why I can't figure out the reason Republicans are sitting on their hands while we are invaded.  I have talked to many Hispanics about Mexico.  They like Obrador for one reason they believe he is for the poor people.   They come here because they love socialism.  They will vote to keep their freebies every time.

Fundraising BS.

Perhaps fundraising b.s., but my first thought is that he wants to encourage people to vote rather than sitting this one out.

Ted said almost the exact same words verbatim during a previous Ben Shapiro show in March, 2018 or prior to his last election, and that election results proved his words to be prescient.

Bingo.  That's the point that I've been trying to make.  That is why one of the reasons the DEMS have not given Trump $$ for the border and why Soros and gang are behind this continued invasion.  Those ILLEGALS who are granted asylum can apply for citizenship within 5 years --they represent DEM votes -- just in time for the 2024 election.

IMHO the only way that the DEMS are going to win in 2020 is by voter fraud and corruption.  The mid terms were just a trial run to see what they could and couldn't get away with.

The '16 election was a solid rejection of Bush/Clinton/Bush and Obama and the result was Trump.  He either wasn't paying attention or wise enough to realize how may holdovers there were. I still don't understand how or why he appointed Rosenstein.

There, Texas Tribune reports on Engage Texas trying to recruit new voters:  https://www.texastribune.org/2019/06/17/texas-republicans-engage-texas/  Texas Tribune may well be funded by leftist causes but their reporters may well be in the state; and often, straight reporting is just that without obvious biases.

Voter turnout, voter registrations are all often low in elections, people don't get out to vote. It could be a good thing or bad thing depending on how one views it but the fact remains.
