“If tax reform crashes and burns, if [on] ObamCare, nothing happens, we could face a bloodbath,” Cruz\u00a0told a\u00a0group of roughly 100 wealthy donors\u00a0during an event in New York on Friday for members of the conservative donor network connected to billionaire industrialists Charles and David Koch.<\/p>\n

Cruz warns that if tax reform and Obamacare repeal don’t get done, Rs could face a “Watergate-level blowout” in 2018 midterm elections.<\/p>\n

Cruz, who is up for reelection in 2018, added that without a win on the party’s two biggest agenda items Republicans could see a “Watergate-level blowout.”<\/p>\n

He is referencing the 1974 elections, held in the wake of the Watergate scandal, where Democrats gained 43 seats in the House and several\u00a0seats in the Senate.<\/p>\n

Despite having the first unified GOP government in roughly a decade Republicans are struggling to score political and legislative wins.<\/p>\n

And lawmakers are\u00a0signaling growing concern that the slow pace of victories could cost them in the 2018 elections, especially among an increasingly frustrated conservative base.<\/p>\n

GOP senators have failed to pass legislation repealing ObamaCare, and there are early signs\u00a0that they could struggle in their push to get\u00a0tax reform to President Trump’s desk this year.<\/p>\n

Senate Republicans are facing a favorable map in the 2018 election, with Democrats defending 25 seats including 10 in states won by President Trump.<\/p>\n

But the party is facing a nasty slate of primary fights, with former chief White House strategist Stephen Bannon and his allies actively seeking challengers to\u00a0a number of GOP senators.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
