Debate may be O'Rourke's last chance to cut into Cruz lead

[left-of-center2012]

SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Democrat Beto O'Rourke is hoping to reverse polls showing him fading against Republican incumbent Ted Cruz in the second debate of a Texas Senate race that's become one of the nation's most-watched.

O'Rourke is giving up his El Paso congressional seat to challenge Cruz and shattered Senate fundraising records with an astounding $38-plus million in the three months through September.
But polls that once showed O'Rourke staying close to a monumental upset in deep red Texas now suggest Cruz is pulling away.

Cruz kept O'Rourke on the defensive when they debated last month in Dallas, and O'Rourke, who had maintained a feel-good message, has promised a sharper tone Tuesday night in San Antonio.

It's the race's last scheduled debate after one in Houston was canceled amid votes Senate floor votes.

2. Let me guess, he'll call Beto a socialist? lol Don't let Cruz get you into that stupid argument.

Tell him, call it what you want it is not THEFT and that is what the GOP is doing.

Fight back, be proud to be a LIBERAL. Say the word, LIBERAL. A LIBERAL would NEVER cut social programs and that is what Trump and Cruz want to do.

Call them what they are, The GOP are LOOTERS!

Fight like a girl, and you'll beat his ass. I guarantee it.
