BETO BACKS OUT OF DEBATE

I guess his platform speaks for itself.
He must be comfortable that he has the victory in the bag...

You can't blame "Beto" for backing out. Cruz, one of the best debaters in politics, would chew him up.

old fake news from a fake source.

plain and simple.

Rafael is a snot nosed asshole, but couldn't make people like him more than Trump. That's an indication of his debating style.

It was a proposed plan by Cruz which was never agreed to by the O'Rourke team.

Aug. 31, Dallas: "Jobs/Taxes/Federal Regulations/National Economy"
Sept. 14, McAllen: "Immigration/Border Security/Criminal Justice/Supreme Court"
Sept. 21, San Antonio: "Foreign Policy/National Security"
Oct. 5, Houston: "Energy/Trade/Texas Economy"
Oct. 12, Lubbock: "Health care/Obamacare"

The schedule debate that was agreed to is:

Dallas on Sept. 21
Houston on Sept. 30
San Antonio on Oct. 16

Cruz should definitely have the advantage.

I would like to see them debate on illegal immigration - Beto is so wishy washy on ICE, I don't know where he stands on that issue.

I'm not sure if O'rourke has his finger on the pulse of most Texans.

I'm not sure about Cruz either, but the devil you know....

Since when did Spanish become the official language of Texas?
