I gotta say it, I have a little respect for Beto accepting to debate Cruz.

Debates should be mandatory nationwide for public office.

Make people go on the record to defend their stances in a debate vs an opponent.

It also cuts out the grandiose promises/rhetoric.

Every dem/socialist in America is refusing debates before the MidTerms.

It's bullshite. It's because their plans and ideology can't hold up to the slightest bit of scrutiny.

With Cruz up +9, it’s his only chance. He knows he is already defeated.

It tells you he doesn't believe some of the polls posted around here either.

Beto has a lot more to gain from debating Cruz than Cruz does. But that's assuming that they are both good debaters. We know Cruz is. Not sure about Beto.

Yep, got it. I didn't know Beto was talking shite. He's going to get wrecked either way

Oh gotcha, yeah most likely. I just can't wait to see him squirm when Ted asks him basic econ questions about paying for all his socialist promises.

It sorts of like Ford-Kavanaugh. Beto cannot win without debating Cruz but stands to lose by a wider margin by debating him.

You may hate Ted Cruz but he's so good at debate fights that you can tell when he gets his pedo rape face on, you know the other guy is fricked to hell.

Point of information. These are NOT debates. Debates do not have a moderator/s. These are press conferences. Lincoln and Douglas did not have a moderator. All you need is a time keeper.

And if you don't think the moderator can tilt the debate just look at the 2016 Presidential debates.

In a real debate Donna Brazile could not have leaked the questions to Hillary. Because there is no list of questions from a moderator. The debaters spring their own questions on their opponent.

Why??? He had no choice. He is down about 10 points despite the huge spending campaign they have undertaken.

So so so brave.
