Beto-Cruz Agree to Three Debates

 

Beto proposed six debates, two of them in Spanish.  Cruz, who does not speak Spanish, agreed to three in English:  (a) Dallas, SMU on Sept. 21, with moderated debate over domestic policy; (b) Houston, Univ. of Houston, Sept. 30, town hall format on domestic policy; (c) San Antonio, 16 October, TV studio, moderated debate over domestic and foreign policy.

At the present time, polls show Cruz about 4 points ahead of Beto, with momentum in Beto's favor.  Can he catch up?  The debates might make a difference.  Expect Beto to make sure people know he speaks Spanish fluently.
