On virtually every issue <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NewsCorpse\/status\/2099953188304785710\" target=\"_blank\">the America people agree with Democrats<\/a><\/strong>, including the issues of greatest concern to voters: the economy, healthcare, the Iran war, Artificial Intelligence (AI), and even immigration. Meanwhile, Republicans are burdened with a delusional leader in Donald Trump, who doesn&#8217;t even know where he is or what he&#8217;s saying.<\/p>\n<p><strong>SEE THIS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=70436\" target=\"_blank\">Delusional Trump: \u2018My REAL Polling Numbers Are the Best They Have Ever Been\u2019 \u2013 OK Grandpa<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>So it shouldn&#8217;t surprise anyone that one of Trump&#8217;s most devoted congressional comrades, Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas, is making the MAGA media rounds to fluff Dear Leader, and to try to whip up interest among demoralized Republicans to turn out in November. Cruz, like Trump and the rest of the rattled right, is employing a strategy of desperation and fear in order to avoid an electoral blowout. So during an interview on Newsmax Cruz warned that&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;We are at real risk of losing both the House and Senate. So I am devoting every waking hour to raising money, to campaigning, to fighting to keep the Senate Republican, to keep the House Republican. If the Democrats take the Congress they will use it to fight with everything they can to stop Trump&#8217;s agenda.

That&#8217;s exactly what they&#8217;re doing. And it&#8217;s why they are winning. Your promise to fight their efforts to <em>&#8220;stop Trump&#8217;s agenda&#8221;<\/em> will be an enormous benefit &#8211; to the Democrats.  So thanks for that. Maybe now you would like to cut a campaign ad accusing Democrats of conspiring to make healthcare available to everyone, lowering the price of gas and groceries, protecting the environment, restoring international relations, and preserving democracy.<\/p>\n<p>Cruz is resorting to the sort of last ditch tactics of a party that knows it is doomed. Those tactics generally result in making their already dire circumstances even worse. That said, this is not the time for Democrats to get over confident. It&#8217;s not over til it&#8217;s over. And Democrats must remain committed and motivated until we have bona fide victories.<\/p>\n<p>Which means that we need to vote in huge numbers. Vote early. Vote by mail.
