    I'm all for debates in general, but this seems like good strategy for a candidate with a healthy lead in most polls. Debates are unpredictable.https://twitter.com/adamcbest/status/1049743750203887616 …

    Ted Cruz canceled the second debate and is now chickening out of a town hall with Beto O’Rourke. His problem can’t be CNN, he recently debated Bernie Sanders on the channel. More proof Cruz is not “Tough as Texas.” https://twitter.com/zekejmiller/status/1049715917586911234 …

        That’s a chicken shit reasoning. And btw, the polls are over the place. Some have Beto +2. Others Cruz +6. He should debate him as much as humanly possible. And I’m a Texan ALREADY voting for Beto. But this is for all the undecideds out there.

        Apparently their internal polling suggests this could be a Nixon v. Kennedy situation. Cruz is so inherently unlikable and Beto the opposite that there’s lots of risk for Ted.

        no upside for Cruz to doing another debate. I'm in DFW area & he's amped up is ground game in North TX (which normally would be a sign of desperation b/c he should win here easily) but now I see Cruz signs everywhere. He needs to get out the megachurch goers and likely will

        Does Cruz have a healthy predictable lead in your opinion?

        It’s why Cruz pays a staff. Their job is to advise on these situations. I’m sure their is more downside for him to debate right now. I guarantee they have tons of data to back it up.

        Maybe Cruz is counting on the state to kick enough new and young people off the voting rolls to make his win easier

        I suspect he got word Russia has rigged the vote totals so he doesn’t need to worry. Cruz will win Texas by cheating @BetoORourke
