11. Beto's a tiger on the debate stage.

He had 2 against Cruz. The first one I’ve linked below was the more mild of the 2, but still a great showing imo.

In particular watch how he completely, and effortlessly deflects cheap barbs. Orange Hitler would be slaughtered by him in a 1 on 1.

If that one doesn’t do it look up the 2nd one where Beto kicks off by referring to Cruz by 45’s nickname for Cruz of “Lyin’ Ted”.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided
