We just learned that Senator Cruz is proposing 5 debates with Representative O'Rourke.
It's a brilliant move by Mr. Cruz, an excellent debater as we learned in the 2016 election.
I have never seen Mr. O'Rourke debate but I don't think that he's been challenged too hard in a safe district.
The debates will prove that Beto is too liberal for Texas. He will have to defend positions, from gun control to abortion to ICE, that are not very popular here.
Yes, it's always a risk for the incumbent to debate. However, Senator Cruz is as good as I've ever seen debate issues.
