Ted Cruz says: "If the Democrats win Texas, it's all over."

Sen. Ted Cruz told "The Story" that while the media portrays Texas' changing racial demographics as the reason for it grabbing Democrats' attention, it is really more a socioeconomic shift.

He said that middle-class and suburban women are moving away from President Trump, pointing to Georgia and Texas specifically as locations with high concentrations of that demographic.

"If you look at what is happening nationally, there are two broad demographic trends going on nationally, blue-collar workers, union members are moving right, and that is moving midwestern states more Republican, states like Ohio and Michigan and Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, every one of which went for Donald Trump in 2016 -- at the same time we are seeing suburban voters, in particular suburban women who are moving left," said Cruz.

"And that's a real challenge, because with a state like Texas, we know that New York and California are bright blue for the foreseeable future. If Texas joins them, that's the entire election. We can't let that happen."

He said that former Vice President Joe Biden's new ad in Texas on the subject of the coronavirus was effective, adding however, that the Delaware Democrat's "soft focus" message is a compelling yet dangerous one.

"Nobody started this year on new year's day predicting a global pandemic, the Great Depression, and race riots. It's horrific what is happening to our country. And Biden and the Democrats are very smartly trying to capitalize on it. And what Biden is doing in soft focus is harking back to a calmer, peaceful time," he said.

"That is a dangerous message," Cruz continued. "That is a compelling message and I think that it is important if this election focuses on issues, and focuses on substance, focusing on a contrast between free enterprise and socialism, and a contrast between the Constitution and Bill of Rights and rule of law versus anarchy and violence, we win it -- but if it is a personality contest, that's what the Democrats want it to be because they think that wins the election."

Cruz starts out by laying out what’s at stake in the upcoming election for Texas, in terms of 38 electoral delegates and a Senate seat. He pointedly says that Texas is the key to national domination for the years to come, and if Democrats win the state of Texas it’s all over.

“Make no mistake,” he warns, “the Democrats and the liberal media are doing everything they can to take Texas. The last five Texas polls in a row have shown President Trump and Joe Biden in a virtual tie.”

“This a real race,” Cruz adds, before reminding Republicans just how close his race was against Beto O’Rourke two years ago after Beto out-spent him three to one. He said that Democrats more than doubled their turnout in 2018 with 4 million showing up to the polls, which Republicans only barely beat with 4.2 million of their own. Cruz says that election was a warning sign for 2020.

“Let me tell you right now. Every one of those crazed, angry leftists who showed up in 2018 are going to show up in 2020. And they’re even angrier. They hate President Trump and far too many of them hate America. The Left is not going to stop at anything to come after Texas and come after this country. And we’ve only got four months to stop a blue wave from destroying the great state of Texas.”
