Anyone funded by Soros is out of the same mold. You can bet they hold the same extremist views.
An I could cast the same aspersions about the Koch brothers, Betsy DeVos's family, and Robert Mercer or Sheldon Adelstein...but on the reverse content side...
Beto isn't taking money from Soros...ergo that's not a slam you can make unless you can show Soros saying he donated to his campaign...
Well, TRUTHFULLY claim...

Anyone notice how he pivots and says that unarmed black people are being killed at an alarming rate, including by law enforcement. The pivot is that he isn't saying that white people are killing unarmed blacks because that's not the case. He is alluding to the black on black crime that is running rampant in this country. He is also wrong, and statics have shown year over year that law enforcement doesn't kill blacks at a disportioante rate compared to the number of arrests in the black community but in fact, white people are killed by law enforcement at a much higher rate than blacks. There is a huge media-driven misconception about this.

All this guy did was double talk his way through an answer that appeals to everyone and waved his arms around alot with a bunch of hand gestures. He will go far in politics.

Cruz and Beto are BOTH going after Texas's "legal" residents
Illegals in TX don't have much of a chance of voting...
You can thank our very conservative GOP ruled legislature for strict voter ID laws
So I don't think either one of them is worried about the ILLEGAL voters making a difference in the election...

They are both worried about the people who need to be motivated to get out and vote because Texas has a high rate of non-participation for ELIGIBLE voters
And Texas also has some history of trying to disenfranchise ELIGIBLE voters who are minorities and perceived as more likely to vote Democratic...





So why demand 2 debates in Spanish? Particularly given one candidate isn't well versed in it? Beto wants a "gotcha" moment, not a serious debate.

Except that the Koch's, nor Betsy DeVoss, are kooks (I'm not familiar with the other names you mentioned). There is nothing "kooky" about them, and they are not evil. Soros is evil, his intentions are evil, and he promotes evil.

Default Beto against ICE?

I'd never vote for one who is open to abolish ICE. Seriously putting the public at risk.

why would our country want to abolish ICE? Maybe he can spend a few days trying to explain that one.

Because their job is redundant, as it's covered by Border Patrol.

Just in case you actually want the truth...

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (“ICE”)

The major difference between ICE and CBP is that while CBP is responsible for enforcing immigration laws at and near the borders, ICE is responsible for enforcing immigration laws within the remaining areas of the U.S. In addition to investigating, arresting, and detaining illegal aliens, ICE is also responsible for the removal of aliens. ICE activities include anti-smuggling efforts, locating persons illegally in the U.S., enforcing the laws against the unauthorized employment of aliens, and battling money laundering. ICE attorneys are also responsible for representing the U.S. government in immigration prosecutions.

As you can see, ICE and CBP enforce many of the same immigration laws, yet each agency has enforcement duties that are exclusively its own.

Would you people rather we just move/rename all ICE agents to CBP and let them keep doing their very important and appreciated jobs?

Isn't that what they were before we went all Soviet after 9-11 and the creation of "Homeland Security"?
