I don't know if I can watch another one. I tried very hard not to say bad words at the TV during the last one. Good thing there is playoff baseball on at the same time.

I'm just glad Cruz isn't giving his opponent an unchecked hour of lie time. It will be maddening, I'm sure, but just I hope Cruz is well prepared and shows the truth of their respective positions.

Respectfully, is there really anybody who is still confused where these two men stand on major policy issues, but intelligent enough to be enlightened by a debate between the candidates?

"To be clear, the Cruz campaign proposed that @CNN host one of the Cruz-O'Rourke debates. The O'Rourke campaign declined. @CNN subsequently offered back to back town halls, in which we are unable to participate," Cruz's campaign manager, Jeff Roe, wrote in a tweet that day.

A spokesperson for Cruz, confirmed to The Hill on Friday that Cruz did not accept CNN's invitation to participate in the townhall.

Very confusing! Lol!

White-Irish-American guy with a Mexican nickname running on the D ticket.
Cuban-American-Canadian guy named "Ted" running on the R ticket.

It's 100% ok to find it confusing. :lol:

Or as I like to sum it up, we have an Irishman pretending to be Hispanic running against a Latino who is pretending to be white.

I'm voting for the Latino! Gotta stay loyal to my people!

I got a text a few days ago from the O'Rourke camp asking how I was going to vote. I just responded with the following:

"I've thought about it, and I do like some of the things that Mr. O'Rourke is saying. But at the of the day, as a Latino, I just can't vote to put another White Irish man in Washington. We Latino's are way too under represented as it is.

I'm sticking with the Latino candidate and will be voting for Rafael Cruz."

Let's see if they try to "correct" me on who is who here.

Whenever I am asked how I will vote, my answer is always the same: "By secret ballot!"

And when they finally get to the polls, they'll see:

Ted Cruz [ ]
Beto O'Rourke [ ]
Whooooooaaa. Waitaminnit. Will they use a NICKNAME on an official ballot? Ararararar. I bet "Robert Francis O'Rourke" would cost him a a few votes! I wonder if the ballot designers are Democrats.

Sadly yes... it's allowed if he's been known by that nickname for 3 or more years prior.

Maybe we can petition the Sec of State that we haven't known him that way but for 2 years?? :lol:
