Is Beto even going to be debating at the big table? Or relegated to kiddie table? Either way, if he can't even beat Ted Cruz, I won't be too worried about him.
There's no kiddie table. The debates will both have the current leaders scattered into both of them.

But there are some candidates who haven't met the requirements of the party who won't be allowed to be in the debates. Some of these people have gotten into the race later than others, while some have failed to meed the funding and personnel limits set by the party.

But that doesn't mean those candidates are all washed up though. Once any of them meet the requirements they will be allowed on the debate stage, so I expect these debates will be the only time the voters will get to see some of the present flock, while future debates may have some new faces in them.

Meh, don't get too excited. Just because I responded to a post about Beto doesn't mean I'm 'all invested in his policies and stuff'. It's election season, so unless you don't own a TV and don't have internet connection, you hardly can stay away from it or give a few comments about him or the other candidates.

But feel free to carry on. I think Beto is toast after his poor performance last night anyway. Warren came out way more knowledgeable and sincere than him, and she didn't even have to pander to the latinos by speaking spanish. Talk about cringe-worthy moment!

I agree. It seemed like he was trying to show off or something, and I think most Latinos can see right through his insincerity. Even though Julian Castro only said a few words in Spanish last night, at least we know that he’s naturally bilingual and not trying so hard to pander to just the Latino vote.

Looks like "beh toe" is finished.


Beto O'Rourke slammed on social media for failing to answer his first question in Spanish OR English and Booker's reaction to 'botched' debate response becomes a meme


What happened to your boy Old Gringo? He appears to have self destructed.

Wapo has an article today that throws the last few shovels of dirt on top of the grave that was O'Rourke's campaign

Liberals are so gullible.

They even thought this loser had a Personality and a Chance when he ran for the Senate and they gave him $80 Million $$.
The mans not capable of being a mayor of a small west Texas town.

I still see Beto stickers here in Texas. They misspelled Idiot.

I see Trumplings are very eager to hope that Beto is finished.

That was what most of Texas thought at this point in 2017.

Stay tuned.
