    Like his dad being the El Paso judge getting him off on both of those arrests and far more? He's pulling the white priv card when it is actually corrupt politician daddy that helped him out.

    Removing the character attack: do you disagree with the substance of his criminal justice reform proposals?

    I asked the guy who reposts everything he says if he had any quotes on penalties for DUI and got nothing. I would love to know how he feels about it.

    You do know his dad was a one-term judge in the 80's, while the charges happened in the 90's. The prosecutors waved the charges on the trespassing case (he tripped an alarm during a prank at UTEP, UTEP chose not to press charges). And the DWI was waved after Beto went through court-recommended DWI program.

    This was already known.

    It is smart for the Cruz operatives to go into smear mode though, it may be enough to hold off Beto.

    Ehh do you have any evidence of this? His father hadn’t been a Judge for years when this happened and was only a Judge for a short period of time.

    I know you can't get deferred adjudication for a DUI in Texas and he did with solid connections to the county. I'm sure nothing under handed happened in El Paso tho.

    You can’t now (although there is proposed legislation to change that) but could you at the time of his charge under 42.12 of the code?

    I shouldn’t have to tell a conservative that God forgives. They’re the party of Jesus.

    Only God Forgives... one of the most underrated but hated-at-the-time movies of the past 5 years.

    Sorry... back to owning the libs.

    I think Beto would do just fine in a debate with Cruz. I suspect that Cruz is a highly skilled debater.

    But when I watched the clip of his calling out Beto on the NFL kneeling controversy, I felt my already mixed view going more and more toward supporting the political gesture the more Cruz talked.

    I don't think more exposure to his personality will help Cruz.

    Beto was most likely arrested in the 1990s due to his haircut alone.

    Cruz knows he can’t lose. There’s no chance Fox News will hire him after trump calls him a loser 1000 times on Twitter.

    Since the previous smear didn't seem to get much play, now they are trying the "was in a rock band" attack...
