Ted Cruz looks like he didn’t understand that declining to attend an upcoming town hall debate with challenger Beto O’Rourke wouldn’t mean CNN will cancel the event. So now Beto gets the whole hour to himself to say whatever he wants uncontested.
The debate solo town hall will air 9 p.m. central time Oct. 18, 2018 on CNN.
Cruz is just determined to sabotage his own campaign and it’s wonderful. I don’t expect him to lose (it’s still Texass) but how great would it be if he did? Hubris is a hell of a drug.
Isn’t the irony that Cruz was a college debater? Also, if Beto O’Rourke doesn’t beat the hammered Christ out of Cruz, Texas will once again get what it deserves and deserves what it gets.
If it so happens that the Republicans lose the majority in the Senate, and it comes down to Alabama and Texas, a lot of people are going to OD on Schadenfreude Pie.
I thought it was pretty strategic of Cruz. Beto is super charismatic, and Cruz is not.
Better to let his opponent have the floor instead of looking bad while talking over him. And anyways, Cruz has a big lead in any case. No use risking it.
