Ted Cruz warns Republicans: Lack of accomplishments could cause a 'bloodbath'

Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, warned that Republicans could face a “bloodbath” in the upcoming midterm elections if they don’t follow through on promises with tax reform and healthcare.

“If tax reform crashes and burns, if Obamacare, nothing happens, we could face a bloodbath,” Cruz said Friday to a crowd at a Koch brothers-aligned donor summit in New York.

The senator said a lack of legislative accomplishments by the GOP-controlled Congress on these key issues could create a “Watergate-level blowout” in the 2018 midterm elections.

He even took a stab at his own colleagues by snarkily noting that the Senate’s confirmation of Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch was “damn near the only thing Senate Republicans have done.” He also said it was the “single best” accomplishment achieved by President Trump.

    Cruz is stating the obvious. Well…it’s obvious to everyone but the GOP.

    I expect Ted will win another term since he is still popular in Texas and people know he is doing his best against an entrenched, do-nothing, liberal Republican hierarchy. But the others are in big trouble. People are disgusted that they have been lied to and cheated by this bunch of snake oil salesmen. Unless there is a real effort to fulfill the promises made to the voters, those voters will not forget on election day. They will find other choices besides the Republicans — even if it means staying home on election day.
