Even the Soros-funded Politifact now concedes Beto's "legal issues"
Should make for some good TV debates --
-- Beto's multiple criminal arrests
-- his Open Borders position
-- his support of gun control
-- the fact that his campaign is funded by Hollywood
-- his position on kneeling NFL employees
-- his desire to raise taxes/repeal Trump's tax cuts
-- his desire to bring back the regulatory state
-- whether he will "come out" as a socialist as some of the other Dems are doing
-- is he in favor of a state income tax for Texas?
-- his love of the use of imminent domain
-- his belief that he would have a vote to impeach Trump (that is something for the House not the Senate)
-- and, of course, abortion
And might be a good litmus test for where this state is headed, generally
While we have had some memorable televised debates for the Governor's Office, I cannot remember when we last had a Senate debate of note --
Phil Gramm vs. Lloyd Doggett?
Lloyd Bentsen vs George Bush?
Ralph Yarborough vs George Bush?
John Tower vs. Barefoot Sanders? (who once offered me a clerkship)
Lyndon Johnson vs. Everett Dirksen? (I dont even know if this one was actually on TV but it was probably worth watching)
