Cruz's campaign has "attempted to dictate" different aspects of the debate schedule, such the time, the moderators and which subjects the candidates could speak about. "We're working through those differences, and we're trying to introduce more of a collaborative style to the negotiations than he may be used to," O'Rourke said
They're probably just having a difficult time finding a debate moderator who's also an illegal alien per Beta's demands.

Perhaps Beta should just run for office in Canada instead, those F'n idiots would buy his socialist BS in a heartbeat.

For Beto to demand that 2 debates be conducted in Spanish simply illustrates his immaturity and lack of readiness to play with the adults. Cruz speaks little Spanish, so Beto just wants to strut in front of the crowd. If he wants to make things fair, have the debate conducted in Japanese and go from there.

Beta is just trying to pander to the pro-illegal crowd because he thinks all of Texas is like his ****hole El Paso.

Why would anyone debate a US election in Spanish? What...I have to call in ans press 1 for an English translation?


Some folks haven't noticed. Santa Anna won at Goliad. Santa Anna won at the Alamo. Sam Houston, though, beat Santa Anna at San Jacinto. Had Santa Anna won, then yes, we'd still likely be speaking Spanish here. Santa Anna lost. The English speakers won.

But lots of voters still speak Spanish. And Lituanian. Polish. German. Czech. Italian. Nigerian. Shawnee.

The last time Sam Houston voted was quite a while ago, so he no longer counts in that regard.

If I wanted to watch a political debate in Italian, I'd travel to Italy. I wouldn't expect the debate to be in English, either.

If you are living in this country, are a citizen and eligible to vote you should speak English. Why in the heck should the debate be conducted in any other language?

What a spineless douche nozzle Beto is, I guess he got cold feet.
