My thoughts on this news

Ted Cruz is a coward and he is definitely looking like a coward before the people of Texas. This is actually supposed to have been the 3rd debate between Ted and Beto. Cruz already canceled the second debate because he claimed he could not make it back in time due to the Kavanaugh vote. Now he is cancelling the third debate, so Beto will be doing a solo town hall on CNN instead on Oct 18th. In my opinion Ted Cruz is shitting his pants, he can see the momentum is in Beto's favor, cancelling these debates makes him look even worse. He did not have a good showing in the first debate, it energized Beto supporters even more. Not only that, Beto just had a rally with Willie Nelson where over 50,000 people of Texas showed up. This will be a historic election for Texas.
