The Cruz versus O’Rourke debate in San Antonio produced near universal agreement on a couple of things.
First, as was expected Beto Pancho Lefty dropped his above-it-all pretense and, while trailing in all polls significantly, decided to attack Senator Ted Cruz. One liberal columnist said of the debate that O’Rourke learned how to make a fist. The problem is that he didn’t know how to use it.
Cruz just came off one of the most bruising GOP presidential primaries in history in which he came in second to the most relentless and ruthless political bruiser in generations, Donald Trump. It is unlikely that after all the scrutiny Cruz has already faced nationally, that an arrogant formerly little-known member of Congress from El Paso who is just learning to make a fist is going to land any new, effective political blows that change the minds of people.
Second, O’Rourke failed miserably in trying to extend Trump’s rude and wrong liar label on Cruz. Even on the Beto backing press the so-called fact checks found that all of the things O’Rourke claimed were untruths were actually well grounded in fact.
Pretense, the campaign message and style O’Rourke has used, is the same in all areas of life. Pretense falls apart when it comes up against authenticity through comparison and contrast. All the above-it-all rhetoric is empty when what people really want to know is: What do you believe and how will you vote? On that score Ted Cruz aligns with Texans while Beto aligns with radical California.
Beto Pancho’s powder puff fist lands nowhere near Ted Cruz
