Discussions regarding the Cruz-O'Rourke debate



Rick Moran: Cruz-O'Rourke debate exposes Beto as 'out of touch' with Texas voters
"The first debate between Senator Ted Cruz and his Democratic challenger Beto O'Rourke was, as expected, contentious and personal. But between the barbs and bric-a-bracs thrown by both candidates, a clear choice emerged from the verbal skirmishing.
"Cruz was successful throughout the debate at blowing up O'Rourke's carefully crafted image of some kind of "moderate," exposing him as a far left liberal out of touch with the majority of Texas voters.
"On every major issue, Cruz made sure to draw a very clear line between [them].
Democratic Texas Rep. Beto O’Rourke during Friday night’s debate denied trying to flee the scene of a 1998 drunken car crash, despite police reports to the contrary.
Police reports published by the Houston Chronicle on Aug. 30 show that the witness who called 9-1-1 told officers that O’Rourke “attempted to leave the scene” after losing control of his car and hitting a truck.
The witness “then turned on his over head lights to warn oncoming traffic and to try to get [O’Rourke] to stop,” the responding officer wrote.
So if we can go back to someone who is 17, why can’t we go back to when someone was 26 and demonstrably guilty?
Beto did make a nice defense of his second chance and "restoration", but I'm sure no Democrat would allow that for Kavanaugh if he were guilty.

On the other hand....Beto O'Rourke Pins Himself In Corner Over Drunk Driving Claim

Beto gets BOOED by debate crowd, then slapped down by Ted Cruz!

"Then Cruz ripped into to him hard, telling Beto that his votes for more armed police officers in schools aren’t “thoughts and prayers”. 
"The crowd loved it, cheering for Cruz when he wrecked Beto."
