Beto: Trump should resign.

Me: robert francis should get a job.

Doesn’t he have a district or something to run and focus on?

Not anymore. He ran for US Senate against Ted Cruz. Since he could not be on the ballot for both positions at the same time, he did not run for re-election for his house seat.

Beto town hall drags CNN ratings down 30%

CNN we are talking about.

So 3 of their 10 viewers found something else to do that night?

My prediction is that Mueller releases his report and announces the conclusion of his investigation.
House Democrats with their newly regained majority decide to launch a 2 year long "investigation" occupying their time until the 2020 election.
This COULD potentially work in Trump's favor as it could show that the Democrats accomplished nothing but more than a wild goose chase.
This could give the Republicans control of both houses and the White House until at least 2024.
With each passing year, it increases the chances of one of the other left leaning SCOTUS justices stepping down.

Del Mar College disavows professor's post offering credit for voting: 'We must show up for Beto

There have been people near me reporting on Nextdoor about signs being stolen or damaged. Both Cruz and Beto signs have been affected. I don't dispute that there are people on the fringe of both sides both capable and willing to do this. If you disagree with a candidate a person is supporting, show support for their opponent or another candidate you support by placing a sign in your yard. It shouldn't be that hard to understand. The signs are private property and should be treated as such. I know I'm preaching to the choir here though. <end rant>

Trump speaks for Cruz in Houston.

Watching on C-SPAN now.

I would argue that none of us should be complacent. Cruz may win by a large margin, but that is hardly guaranteed. Vote, and make your voice heard!

While I would LOVE to ding him for changing just for this race, it DOES appear he's used it (at least in his campaign) for at least the last 6 years. I didn't bother going back to see what he was listed as when he ran in the municipal races in El Paso.

There are so many other more valid reasons to not vote for the guy than his Hispanic sounding nickname.

I agree with you 100%. I falsely assumed that he had just started using the nickname for this race, and proved myself wrong. That is all I was pointing out.

Beto will have an hour to him self on CNN, as Ted declined to come on CNN.

I hate for Ted to give him an hour of saying anything he wants, uncontested and unchecked.

I get that it's cnn, but he's giving bo a lot of free lee way in this race. I hope Ted knows something that we don't because I'm a bit nervous.

The CNN Townhall was a booby trap set for Ted. Just consider the Stoneman Douglas town hall.
Kudos to Ted for not falling for the trap. I guarantee the whole thing would have been scripted.

It is funny though that the press is trying to set this up as Ted refusing a debate. He hasn't refused any debates (though Beto has), but the way they are reporting it is as if this was going to be a debate, not a town hall.

Technically speaking, Cruz DID back out of the 2nd scheduled debate. However that was because there was supposed to be a vote on Kavanaugh. When there was a delay because they were going to let the FBI investigate (again), the Cruz campaign contacted O'Rourke's campaign (within hours of cancelling the debate) to say that Cruz would be available after all for the scheduled debate. O'Rourke said that he had already committed to something else for that time, and did a facebook live stream from his kitchen.
