I said for quite some time now that I believe the Democrats take the house in the mid-terms and that the republicans retain the senate. And now you have an idea of what it will be like in 2020.

Trump: Make America Great Again - The Sequel

And it's a reality. I don't see anyone yet on the left that can defeat the incumbent, who is having much success. We have a LOT of time to see that change.... but to our liberal democrat friends: start taking some vocal lessons early, this way you are better prepared to scream to the skies!

Trump’s Rally For Ted Cruz In Houston Was A Preview Of 2020

HOUSTON, Texas — Trump rallies are political spectacles on a grand scale, and the scene in downtown Houston on Monday night was a spectacle worthy of ancient Rome.

Tens of thousands of people descended on the Toyota Center, some coming from as far away as California, many more from every corner of Texas, all driven by the chance to take part in what they consider to be an epoch-defining movement, a second American Revolution, a secular Great Awakening. To Trump’s base, these rallies are about much more than just getting out the vote for the midterms. They are about saving the country.

Strictly speaking, the rally was to support Texas Sen. Ted Cruz in his reelection bid against Democratic challenger and media darling Beto O’Rourke. But in fact the rally was a dress rehearsal for President Trump’s 2020 reelection campaign, which will be about nothing so much as the culture war. A nuclear culture war, if you like.

His supporters are up for it. The crowds began gathering here about 10 a.m. Sunday morning, and by sundown nearly 100 people had staked out their spot in line. They slept upright in chairs or on air mattresses laid out in the open. A few of them pitched tents. By Monday afternoon, the blocks surrounding the arena were a swirling mass of humanity decked out in Trump gear and American flags.

The streets, cordoned off into elaborate lanes, were lined with dozens of private vendors hocking Trump gear to the passing throngs. Camera crews from all over the world darted through the lines in search of the most flamboyant Trump fan they could find, and there were plenty. What seemed like an army of Houston police kept a relatively small band of protestors in their designated space, far from the arena.

By the time Cruz and the other speakers had come and gone, and Trump took the stage, it was obvious what the purpose of the rally was. In his meandering riff of a speech, Trump left no doubt: “This will be the election of the caravan, Kavanaugh, tax cuts and common sense.”

Trump 2020 Will Be Trump 2016 On Steroids

He was talking about the midterms, only two weeks away, but he was mostly talking about his reelection. If Trump’s tone and themes Monday night were any guide, 2020 will be like 2016 on steroids: over-the-top bragging about his accomplishments, relentless waging of the culture war, and vilification of Democrats and their policies as treasonous, “an assault on the nation’s sovereignty.”

Trump made sure to push every hot-button issue he could. Invoking the Brett Kavanaugh hearings, he declared that Democrats “want to replace the rule of law with the rule of the mob,” and said what they did to Kavanaugh “and his beautiful family was a national disgrace.”

Early on, he mentioned the caravan of some 5,000 Central Americans making their way through Mexico to the southern U.S. border, saying it includes “some very bad people,” and alluding to “unknown Middle Easterners” among them. Later, he said, “There’s a word you’re not supposed to use anymore, it’s call a nationalist. You know what I am? I’m a nationalist.”

He mercilessly attacked Democratic leaders, calling Rep. Maxine Waters a “low-I.Q. individual” and savaging Sen. Elizabeth Warren, whose recent DNA test revealed she has about as much Native American ancestry as the average white person. Warren, he said, “was exposed as a total fraud. I can no longer call her Pocahontas because she has no Indian blood. She doesn’t qualify.”

I would feel completely safe overnighting with that crowd.

I watched the whole thing live. I wasn’t bored for a second. Trump’s rally speeches are very good and very entertaining. He didn’t say much at all about Cruz, though, lol.

I remember "someone" going off during the primaries, about just how violent Trump is, and worse, that all of his supporters were violent - and that it was going to bring about more of that, just violence by these folks towards anyone who disagreed.

My my my. And here we are, 2 years later - and nearly all the violence is from the fine folks we call liberals, democrats....

While there are the few.... ever notice that the 99% of marching crap is by the left? The things that end up violent are from the left? Just all the out there "in your face" stuff is all your left leaning folks. Of course their leaders telling them to doesn't help, but they were like this prior to that.

And most of them should be damn well skippy happy that the right isn't taking the bait that much. As your typical liberal whining weenies out there are pretty much your high school weaklings, and would get destroyed by the MEN on the right should they ever come and cross the wrong lines and go to the wrong people.

He said plenty about Cruz....Both Cruz and Trump knew and understood...it was all about politics and winning the election in the past (when harsh words were used against one another) They are both over it and pushing forward...Trump was there to help cruz....and he did....

**Trump talked about all the good things going on now...and how important it was for Cruz to win....NOW...

Going to have to disagree. Lots about the election, about his own promises kept, and he introduced and praised several Republicans. But very little about Cruz.

And this state NEEDS Republican/conservative support. It's only still red because of the vastness. Our biggest population centers are blue.

And that pole-smoking liar O'Rourke is getting a LOT of support even though Cruz crushed him in their debate. When Texas Democrats were home-grown, they weren't much of a problem. Too many snowbirds, wetbacks and leftwingnut agitators here now to call anything safe.
