I'd like to think that Ted is wrong on this, but usually he calls things pretty accurately and I believe he is absolutely correct and believe we all need to brace ourselves for the possibility of a bloodbath. First Trump wasn't going to address the issue of stimulus money, and now, it's a focus. Not a good time for Trump to be backpedaling. There are other issues as well which don't exactly spell a Trump or GOP victory in either house; he has been unable to unify the entire party which has always been a concern. We cannot and should not overlook the fact that The US debt is now projected to be larger than the US economy; not that a Biden win would change that.
It certainly doesn't seem that the RNC has implemented any 'systems' to ensure a fair election as there has already been several reports of 'misguided' or 'misplaced' mail in ballots. Also a huge concern is the significant change in demographics in FL and TX which could easily turn those states Blue.
Ted Cruz warns the election ‘could be a bloodbath of Watergate proportions’ for GOPSen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, warned on Friday that Republicans could see “a bloodbath of Watergate proportions†if voters are angry and broke when casting their ballots next month.
Cruz blamed House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer for holding up a deal to provide a new round stimulus and direct payment checks to Americans during the coronavirus pandemic, although it was President Donald Trump who abruptly called off talks earlier this week.
“If people are going back to work, if they’re optimistic, if they’re positive about the future, we could see a fantastic election: the president getting reelected with a big margin, Republicans winning both Houses of Congress,†Cruz said in an interview on CNBC’s “Squawk Box.â€
“But I also think if on Election Day, people are angry and they’ve given up hope and they’re depressed, which is what Pelosi and Schumer want them to be, I think it could be a terrible election. I think we could lose the White House and both houses of Congress, that it could be a bloodbath of Watergate proportions.â€
Cruz was referring to congressional gains Democrats made in 1974 following President Richard Nixon’s resignation over the Watergate scandal. Democrat Jimmy Carter would go on to win the presidential race in 1976.
Trump abruptly called off talks until after the election earlier this week, though Pelosi and Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin spoke about a broad stimulus plan on Thursday, according to the speaker’s spokesperson Drew Hammill.
Cruz said he’d spoken with Trump on Thursday and that the president wants to make a deal. That day, White House communications director Alyssa Farah told reporters the administration wanted to address a variety of stimulus strategies but not as “part of a larger package.†Farah later told reporters “we’re open to going with something bigger,†but “we’re not going to operate from the $2.2 trillion that the speaker laid out.â€............
