Ted Cruz sums up Trump's impact on the Democrat Party in just 9 words

Ted Cruz: ‘I Think Donald Trump Has Broken The Democratic Party’

September 15, 2019

Republican Senator Ted Cruz said he believes President Trump has “broken the Democratic Party” as its members only talk about “hating him.”

The comments were made during an appearance on ABC’s “This Week with George Stephanopoulos” where Cruz and the host were talking about the third Democratic presidential debate.

The Washington Examiner reports:

ABC host George Stephanopoulos mentioned Cruz’s warning that Texas could be a potential background state in the 2020 presidential election and noted that five Republican House members from the state have come forward saying they would not seek reelection next year.

Cruz claimed that the third Democratic presidential debate in Houston on Thursday was a “very bad night” for Democrats because the candidates did not mention the economy’s relative strength through the third quarter of this year.

Cruz remarked how Democrats were not talking about the nation’s historic unemployment rates or growth of the American economy at the debate.

“If you look at Thursday night, the entire night of the debate, not a single Democrat talked about jobs, not a single Democrat talked about the economy, about the fact that we’ve got the lowest African American unemployment ever recorded, the lowest Hispanic unemployment ever recorded,” Cruz said per the Washington Examiner.

The congressman added: “Instead what the Democrats told the American people is they want to raise your taxes, they want to triple the price you pay for a gallon of gas at the pump, they want open borders, they want to take away your health insurance and they want to take away your guns.”

“I think Donald Trump has broken the Democratic Party,” Cruz said via the report. “They are defined now just by hating him. They ought to be the party of jobs. They used to be a party focused on jobs, they’re not anymore.”
