We have to choose between a demonrat satan worshipper or a cripple half man who cant even have sexual intercourse with multiple women like My boi Donald Trump.
And it was a one-sided victory for one candidate. Beto O'Rourke wiped the floor with the current governor. People choosing Abbott over Beto are just gullible at this point. Beto is clearly more intelligent, more honest, more compassionate, and has that "it" factor in leadership. Beto is a person who acts on behalf of the majority. Abbott literally said he ignores the majority of Texans in favor of policies that only the far-right extremists love because his "principles". Abbott's abortion stance of "no exception for rape or incest" sounds like it is from Saudi Arabia, Iran, or North Korea.

If people were actually properly informed on the dipshit politicians they're electing, maybe they wouldnt have to decide between a psychopathic cripple and a guy running on banning semi-auto rifles in semi-auto rifle land based upon the number of GOTCHA responses they can come up with in a short period of time.
@@bonnierobinson8684 I didn't see it. Abbott constantly fought back on Beto's false claims on everything. Maybe the Teachers salary part can shed some light onto Beto's lies. The cost of living has increased, as he points to electricity cost, and then says Teachers are underpaid this amount. Well, yeah! They both are below the National median average. Why would you expect otherwise? Beto's plans are made up and bares no responsibility b'cuz he's not electable.
@@jorgemartinez18 They aren’t important. How many people have you seen change their minds after a debate? This is all circus to hide the fact that Blue States INTENTIONALLY forced Blue Voters into Red States. It might already be too late for Texas. The problem with Republicans is their “we accept everybody” stance. You shouldn’t accept people who think differently than you about life. If Texas doesn’t start passing laws that are reprehensible to people that would change their way of life, Texas will end up like Oregon. Here’s how you do it. Take ANY law that you would never want in your state, and you pass the exact opposite. For example, if you want to keep your Second Amendment Rights intact, pass mandatory firearm ownership, training, and safety certification laws. Maybe even pass mandatory militia service laws. Treat your Rights as a responsibility rather than merely an entitlement. With those laws, who do you think won’t move there? Blue Voters that afraid of guns. CRT? Pass laws that ban it’s implementation within government agencies and companies that accept government contracts. You HAVE to treat your State/county/city/neighborhood/block like it’s your house. Live with people you agree with, and pass laws that repel unwanted citizens so that they cannot move in and vote your way of life out of existence. The NEXT thing you do is conduct missions into slums to find people who just want a crime free life for their families. Then, you bring them to your communities so they can see the truth of your lifestyle. If you don’t, then they will constantly vote Blue while breeding more into those broken systems to dilute your national votes. Leave Democrat areas full of violent criminals while you save and convert the victims in those areas.
Thank you for carrying this and allowing folks like me (who was at work during the debate) the chance to view later. That said, this format was unhelpful in informing voters on the content and character of these two candidates. The short answer period and lack of a true debate between the candidates, reduced this to a mad rush of sound bites and jabs.
Would have been better with just one moderator and much longer for debate before that hellacious dinging bell cut short any in depth debate on any topic. Actually, this "debate" raised more questions than answers. The quick answer format is totally unproductive in providing voters with any thoughtful solutions by either Abbott or O'Rourke. An important debate like this should allow more time devoted to it than what was allowed. Ridiculous and a waste of everyone's time - the candidates and the voters time both. Irritating to watch, irritating to listen too and totally irritating hearing that dam bell!! FAIL.
The problem with the format, is that the candidates aren't respecting the format. Both are using time to throw out their political talking points. Sometimes the panel is re asking the questions, hoping to get them to answer the question presented.
It seemed the moderators were more eager to get the debate over and done with than to give viewers the opportunity to really hear the candidates speak.
A substantive debate would allow for a meaningful exchange of ideas, this format didn’t allow for the candidates to explain their positions and or explain why the opposing positions won’t work.
I completely agree. The less Abbott lies, i mean opens his mouth and forms words the better. However, this 60 secs/30 seconds was crap no matter the candidate.
@@le6859 I believe not. My understanding is that in order to get Abbott to agree to a debate, they had to make major concessions, such as having no live audience. I believe the shorter time was on the part of Abbott’s campaign, to minimize damage, though ironically it arguably benefitted Beto, who was far better at making his points concise.
But the Bible says that in the end of days, The Christ Angel that fixed the whole world, all the GOD realm UFOs in the night time sky and all the GODS and GODDESSES in the Higher HEAVENS, all like to watch Satan play sad songs on his ghost realm violin every time conservatives start to talk about church and god and all of their goodness...
@@_PatrickO hmm, I wasn't insinuating Beto have a "rant about Joe Biden". It was 2 quick sentences because the policy worked is all. Debates shouldn't be the only means to how someone decides their vote. Beto has shown for the last 6 months how he's working for the ppl. Abbott has his track record of not working for the ppl! Excuse my comment.😉
I know right? Why not allow them to have a decent opening and closing that has at last a few minutes each! Give them a chance to state platforms and agendas clearly without being rushed! My goodness!
@@GastonFouche Exactly, he's been in office for 8 years, half of that under trump, so blaming Biden is pathetic excuse for his poor management of the state.

@@jessynation8293 Trump himself bitched about them multiple times during his presidency, it's not like they are being subtle with their jokes enough to go under the radar.
I agree. Of course even then there are many cynics including myself tbh, I would verify the verifier as well to make sure this is being as honestly as it possibly can. From what I gathered Abbott literally told the truth twice, that's it. And O'rourke said something that's "mostly" true once, everything else was factual and based. Hopefully Beto finaly got, and I quote him, his "s%&t" together, because I want him to win.
Like how we had that one guy that gact checked in real time everytime trump spoke? That's pretty dope Abbot would look hilarious with a guy in the background saying "that's false"
@@user-tw6bj4xx1l are you serious? Beto is playing the blame game just as much. And it is a fact this migration crisis is a direct result of Biden admin policies.
It takes a special brand of brain damage to think that voting in Beto as governor wouldn't be a massive disaster. Texas has been the fastest growing state in the country, and by far the most successful state in the last two decades in terms of growth, budget balance, freedom, and low taxes. IMAGINE the mental state you would have to be in to look across the country at states with governments like the one Beto wants to implement, and think "yea this will be much better".
Not enough time for either one of them to speak and talk about what they will or won't do. This is horrible on all levels - regardless of which candidate - give them time to respond. That bell though - order up!!
@@mikal94 Sounds like all you care about is continuing to steer the conversation to those things. Its clear that all the right wants to do is continue to bring that up. Just stop trying to use policy to protect your insecurities and stop talking about it. If you look back, all of these weird culture war topics are started as a way to distract from policies people actually care about and instead adhom about something no one cares about. It's American to stick up for people's rights and this is a pathetic waste of our entire political body to be pearl clutching over someone's gender identity instead of energy demand and strengthening our hegemony.
Not enough time! Women are not just baby makers! Women should have a right to choose! Rape is out of control in Texas. Make men pay for it! The abortion stand will kill more woman because they cannot get the help they need!
If Robert wins.... Texas is fooked. Say goodbye to borders, police departments, and the 2nd amendment. He's the actual definition of the word.... TYRANT
Abbott would have to agree to more debates for the candidates to get more time. This is the only one that is planned, so they are just trying to address everything. In less than an hour.
I did like that those asking the questions repeated the question when an answer was clearly not given. Still didn't always work, but at least they tried.
But Abbott gave nothing more than his usual talking points. And then he didn't want anyone in the audience!!! That's very telling on how weak a governor he really is!!!!
Families of murdered children in Uvalde traveled hundreds of miles to attend the debate in Edinburg which Abbott knew were coming. He deliberately banned them from the debate. His disrespectful attitude towards the family members was like a slap in the face and showed that he doesn't give a damn . What is he afraid of ? Republicans like Abbott need to go . Vote 🔵 in November 22/24 because you already see what you'll get if you don't !🤔
@TryNDoxMe while I agree we need to hear their views, the responses are rehearsed. Take what they say when they are around their “folks.” That’s when they speak the truth the most.
They need to hire cross-examination lawyers to craft the questions. Direct questions are so easy to avoid answering. They need to learn how to ask questions that squeeze information out bit by bit.

Maybe that's "too big government " for this state, but letting all this charter voucher nonsense burn up tax payers money on basically scams masked as schools is just gross. I was an uber driver and picked up a big cheese guy from a charter school network and he was talking with his buddy about how they don't hire certified teachers including for special ed. It was gross
I'm sure Beto would gladly welcome any opportunity to do something like that.

debates need to have the public involved full stop no exceptions, and both candidates deserve more time to speak
That's what Town Halls are for.
@@hillary6563 i’m not sure what point you’re trying to make
@@jimonaldo3108 … he basically said town halls (is a public forum) where people can ask candidates direct questions. These open air debates people are just clapping and cheering of their candidates gives a hit them response.
@@ricotheofficial i mean sure i guess that would be better but i would at least like there to be an audience so we could see how the responses landed. i personally think it would do a lot to drive some points home regarding certain topics

Gettr’s better at that.
That's funny that's exactly what it felt like to me as well thanks for putting that in perspective LOL
well not to be rude but tweets were changed to 280 characters many years ago
Why make their answers so short??? This isn’t TikTok, this is a political debate. Allow substance to be delved into.
But it's a TikTok audience today. It's all about sound bites and who can make the most money.
Well, Abbott is a coward and most likely sad this is the only way he would debate. He said no to the audience.
A bit set up the debate
its fine. if they didnt have them short like this they would ramble on. their not having a conversation, its a debate and keeping the answers short keeps the pace moving.
It’s KXAN. What do you expect? They think we all have the attention span of a gnat
Can we not get a 3 or 4 hour debate for these issues? People listen to 3-hr podcasts daily. Give us time to really challenge their ideas instead of just get sound bytes.
If trump would have STFU last debate it wouldn't be a bell
Abbott would not agree to a longer debate...
whoa whoa whoa. If people were actually properly informed on the dipshit politicians they're electing, maybe they wouldnt have to decide between a psychopathic cripple and a guy running on banning semi-auto rifles in semi-auto rifle land based upon the number of GOTCHA responses they can come up with in a short period of time.
That’s on Abbott. His demands: only 1 hour & no constituents in the audience. Speaks volumes, imo.

I agree. The very beginning of this debate would have been the perfect time for another power failure.
Abbott is clearly losing this debate. Texas don't lose your vote to let this continue!
@@bonnierobinson8684 I didn't see it. Abbott constantly fought back on Beto's false claims on everything.
Maybe the Teachers salary part can shed some light onto Beto's lies. The cost of living has increased, as he points to electricity cost, and then says Teachers are underpaid this amount. Well, yeah! They both are below the National median average. Why would you expect otherwise? Beto's plans are made up and bares no responsibility b'cuz he's not electable.
@@bonnierobinson8684 I guess you are one of the 17 Beto voters in Texas. Nobody is winning this debate except that stupid bell. Go outside and play

Ding ding! I'm sorry, sir your time is also up ⏰️
Beto ran from the question about how he feels on confiscating weapons. That means he will try if he is elected.

They needed more time to answer the questions. I was really looking forward to this.
Meh, races that are nor presidential races never get the time because the media deem that as not as important.
@@jorgemartinez18 They aren’t important. How many people have you seen change their minds after a debate?
This is all circus to hide the fact that Blue States INTENTIONALLY forced Blue Voters into Red States. It might already be too late for Texas.
The problem with Republicans is their “we accept everybody” stance. You shouldn’t accept people who think differently than you about life. If Texas doesn’t start passing laws that are reprehensible to people that would change their way of life, Texas will end up like Oregon.
Here’s how you do it.
Take ANY law that you would never want in your state, and you pass the exact opposite.
For example, if you want to keep your Second Amendment Rights intact, pass mandatory firearm ownership, training, and safety certification laws. Maybe even pass mandatory militia service laws.
Treat your Rights as a responsibility rather than merely an entitlement. With those laws, who do you think won’t move there?
Blue Voters that afraid of guns.
CRT? Pass laws that ban it’s implementation within government agencies and companies that accept government contracts.
You HAVE to treat your State/county/city/neighborhood/block like it’s your house. Live with people you agree with, and pass laws that repel unwanted citizens so that they cannot move in and vote your way of life out of existence.
The NEXT thing you do is conduct missions into slums to find people who just want a crime free life for their families. Then, you bring them to your communities so they can see the truth of your lifestyle. If you don’t, then they will constantly vote Blue while breeding more into those broken systems to dilute your national votes. Leave Democrat areas full of violent criminals while you save and convert the victims in those areas.
Thank you for carrying this and allowing folks like me (who was at work during the debate) the chance to view later. That said, this format was unhelpful in informing voters on the content and character of these two candidates. The short answer period and lack of a true debate between the candidates, reduced this to a mad rush of sound bites and jabs.
The format was Abbott's demand. He refused a better debate. Refused town hall.
Go with Beto.
@@ThomasMoneyhon definitely catered to Abbot.
Would have been better with just one moderator and much longer for debate before that hellacious dinging bell cut short any in depth debate on any topic. Actually, this "debate" raised more questions than answers. The quick answer format is totally unproductive in providing voters with any thoughtful solutions by either Abbott or O'Rourke. An important debate like this should allow more time devoted to it than what was allowed. Ridiculous and a waste of everyone's time - the candidates and the voters time both. Irritating to watch, irritating to listen too and totally irritating hearing that dam bell!! FAIL.
👍🏼👍🏼🤠
Totally agree, not enough time to answer questions fully.
They don't want to answer questions in any real detail. If you give them more time, then they will ramble until they run out the clock.
Greg Abbot for Governor Of Texas !!
Why
@@shockhouser3171why Beto?
Give them time to answer the damn question! This is not a debate!
They're ALL done like this. I've watched over 490 debates across the country, and this is how they're all choreographed in questioning and timing.
The problem with the format, is that the candidates aren't respecting the format. Both are using time to throw out their political talking points. Sometimes the panel is re asking the questions, hoping to get them to answer the question presented.
BETO GOT SMOKED!
@@shirleyreese6832 choreographed, exactly what it should not be. Beta was running his mouth over his Bells and this is bent towards Beto's benefit.
60, 30 or 15 seconds is definitely not enough time
Can I break that damn bell..?? This is not a real debate
It seemed the moderators were more eager to get the debate over and done with than to give viewers the opportunity to really hear the candidates speak.
They were eager to get through all the questions.
Definitely
Because a debate favors Gov Abbott.
@Burr Anderson question is do you care more about the rules or the subjects and the substance.
@Burr Anderson Perhaps a massive electoral decision of the Texan people demands more than less than a single hour of "debate". No? Anyone? Just me?
Beto = zero!
Moderator: Here’s a complex and important issue to voters. You have 3.5 seconds to answer. WTF is this?
A substantive debate would allow for a meaningful exchange of ideas, this format didn’t allow for the candidates to explain their positions and or explain why the opposing positions won’t work.
I completely agree. The less Abbott lies, i mean opens his mouth and forms words the better. However, this 60 secs/30 seconds was crap no matter the candidate.
Beto is a joke as a politician
I am not a Texas resident but I do believe gov. Abbott is a doing a fantastic job for Texas
.
Nobody wants a substantive debate. Abbott is a lazy bum, he can't even stand for a debate!
@@le6859 I believe not. My understanding is that in order to get Abbott to agree to a debate, they had to make major concessions, such as having no live audience. I believe the shorter time was on the part of Abbott’s campaign, to minimize damage, though ironically it arguably benefitted Beto, who was far better at making his points concise.
30 seconds for closing statements!😅 Insane!
The closings were the shortest that I've ever heard. I've watched over 490 debates!
@@shirleyreese6832 Abbot forced the format because he can't deflect with rants about joe biden if the answers had to be longer.
But the Bible says that in the end of days, The Christ Angel that fixed the whole world, all the GOD realm UFOs in the night time sky and all the GODS and GODDESSES in the Higher HEAVENS, all like to watch Satan play sad songs on his ghost realm violin every time conservatives start to talk about church and god and all of their goodness...
@@_PatrickO hmm, I wasn't insinuating Beto have a "rant about Joe Biden". It was 2 quick sentences because the policy worked is all. Debates shouldn't be the only means to how someone decides their vote. Beto has shown for the last 6 months how he's working for the ppl. Abbott has his track record of not working for the ppl! Excuse my comment.😉
I know right? Why not allow them to have a decent opening and closing that has at last a few minutes each! Give them a chance to state platforms and agendas clearly without being rushed! My goodness!
Beto, liar liar and lies !!
Why having debate of 30 seconds or 1 minute, that's ridiculous.
You must be new to debates. I remember my first time!
IT’S TEXAS!
Less talk more walk.... oh oops
@@erongaman1 no it's because beto can't answer anything. Dems control the debates
A TOTAL FAIL as a debate format.
Wow I’m impressed at how useless the people that set this up are literally giving mere seconds to answer crucial questions
The time limit was to protect Beto from himself..
Texans have more attention span than a mere 60 sec for a response
Abbot had plenty of time to respond. 60 seconds to blame Biden for everything is plenty. If Biden is managing our state why do we need Abbot?
@@GastonFouche Exactly, he's been in office for 8 years, half of that under trump, so blaming Biden is pathetic excuse for his poor management of the state.
Since when?
Yeah exactly, we can keep focused for almost an... oh a squirrel in my garden, got put the bird f... a new episode of the house of targaryen?! hell yeah, gonna sit down and w... There's nothing to do at home, ii should go for a drive, wait what was I doing?
That's why we're the biggest state in the continuous country , with the largest military base in the free world.
This would be a great debate
If there was enough time given.
No kidding. This was insanely chaotic
But the Bible says that in the end of days, the same military men that discriminated against transgender members of mankind, retired from the military and was empowered by Trump and Jesus to discriminate the trans folks employment and marriages outside the work place for them to go to jail or psych wards for nothing so that Trump, JESUS and CPAC and other conservatives can steal their life insurance policies and assets after their parents or loved ones die. Then they used CIA and Judges to keep the theft going with Ron Desantis don’t say gay Bill.
Abbot forced the format because its hard to lie and deflect if you have to give longer answers.

Latinos for Abbott
This was the tic tok of debates 🤣🤣
Yes
great response
What they need in every debate is fact checker who can call them out when they talking out their asses
Fact Checkers lol. The one's that exist are propaganda machines paid by the left.
I agree. Of course even then there are many cynics including myself tbh, I would verify the verifier as well to make sure this is being as honestly as it possibly can. From what I gathered Abbott literally told the truth twice, that's it. And O'rourke said something that's "mostly" true once, everything else was factual and based. Hopefully Beto finaly got, and I quote him, his "s%&t" together, because I want him to win.
Like how we had that one guy that gact checked in real time everytime trump spoke?
That's pretty dope
Abbot would look hilarious with a guy in the background saying "that's false"
Yeah Jackie and someone to call out the fact checkers. Most are leftist liars paid for their shitty opinion.
Problem is fact checkers are full of shyt
It would actually be a lot more productive to just have them yell at each other with out moderators
America and the human species in general is attempting to MOVE AWAY /EVOLVE from shouting at each other like the maga monkeys in the wild.
The trunk way
The fact that they using multiple moderators says its rigged to fit s specific narrative
Abbott refused to debate with out specific protections. I would assume this entire B.S. "debate" is part of the stipulations.
@@Idontanswerquestionz
Obviously, you’re NOT a resident of Texas…..
Just voted!!! Go Greg Abbott....
With only 2 people the fact they still only have 30 seconds for an answer is crazy.
It has to be this way, otherwise Abbott wouldn't have agreed to the rules of the debate. He's a coward.
Debate was organized to protect Abbott mismanagement being exposed
Beto did good using his time to talk policy and all Abbott did was blame blame and blame
@@user-tw6bj4xx1l are you serious? Beto is playing the blame game just as much. And it is a fact this migration crisis is a direct result of Biden admin policies.
It takes a special brand of brain damage to think that voting in Beto as governor wouldn't be a massive disaster. Texas has been the fastest growing state in the country, and by far the most successful state in the last two decades in terms of growth, budget balance, freedom, and low taxes. IMAGINE the mental state you would have to be in to look across the country at states with governments like the one Beto wants to implement, and think "yea this will be much better".
Not enough time for either one of them to speak and talk about what they will or won't do. This is horrible on all levels - regardless of which candidate - give them time to respond. That bell though - order up!!
That bell got on my nerves and the choppy Q&A
It was ABBOTT who cowered/demanded/created this short answer/ bell style of “debate(?)” with NO audience/or parents of murdered children.

60 seconds? 😂 both Abbott and Beto had seconds to even form a sentence or a rebuttal 💀💀
Because the Democrats control the debates , elections , and the narrative. They can't talk longer than 60 secs
Especially with this female moderator. As soon as the bell rang, her screeching voice takes over.

Abbott would have to agree to more debates for the candidates to get more time. This is the only one that is planned, so they are just trying to address everything. In less than an hour.
I did like that those asking the questions repeated the question when an answer was clearly not given. Still didn't always work, but at least they tried.

Rewarding Abbott with more time when he failed to provide an answer to the question asked.
@@beepbop6697
Beto wasn't given the extra time that Abbot was. Fact.
Abbott gave clear answers the whole time, bravo 👏 too him.
I respect them both for acting civilized. The way these debates are suppose to act.
But Abbott gave nothing more than his usual talking points. And then he didn't want anyone in the audience!!! That's very telling on how weak a governor he really is!!!!
Families of murdered children in Uvalde traveled hundreds of miles to attend the debate in Edinburg which Abbott knew were coming. He deliberately banned them from the debate. His disrespectful attitude towards the family members was like a slap in the face and showed that he doesn't give a damn . What is he afraid of ? Republicans like Abbott need to go . Vote 🔵 in November 22/24 because you already see what you'll get if you don't !🤔
There was one who kept taking over the other. Guess who???

I am going for greg Abbott is the best government for texas low taxes low cost of living
Who ever came up with this time limits, let’s have a real debate
Don't need a debate,abbott been there 8 yrs and time for him to go
Abbott came up with all of the rules lol
This wasn't a "debate"...this was a question test...🤦🤦🤦
Cuz abbots special rules cuz he was scared to do a real debate
@@Jeffshighonlife Cuz Beta O'Dork is a anti-Constitutionalist POS.
@TryNDoxMe while I agree we need to hear their views, the responses are rehearsed. Take what they say when they are around their “folks.” That’s when they speak the truth the most.
@TryNDoxMe There's nothing unreasonable in what Beto said. Abbot is just scared to actually face his constituents.
@m_train1 How many AR15s would you like nut jobs to HAVE?? Don't be stupid.
The moderators got more time than the candidates. Can the bell be louder?
lol..
They were dumb as a bag of rocks!
As expected, they didn't have very good answers.
@@fakenamer9488 Abbott was the ruler of this. Frances was a fool.
Twin air horns!
14:04 Can we all agree that this is disgusting? Using kids to push a political agenda that they don't even understand will always be unacceptable.
Not just kids but a horrendous act of violence against them. Death gets votes or takes away votes.
Not enough time to throw punches, and yet the bell sounded like a boxing match.
They need to hire cross-examination lawyers to craft the questions. Direct questions are so easy to avoid answering. They need to learn how to ask questions that squeeze information out bit by bit.
It's not that serious. 🙄
Ask questions we already know the answer to is how you get information
But the Bible says that in the end of days, the same military men that discriminated against transgender members of mankind, retired from the military and was empowered by Trump and Jesus to discriminate the trans folks employment and marriages outside the work place for them to go to jail or psych wards for nothing so that Trump, JESUS and CPAC and other conservatives can steal their life insurance policies and assets after their parents or loved ones die. Then they used CIA and Judges to keep the theft going with Ron Desantis don’t say gay Bill.
Abbot forced this format for this reason. He has done nothing to make texas better and even in this format, every answer abbot gives is nonsense.
@@_PatrickO ok Beto 😂
This should have been a 3hr debate not 30 - 60s sound bites.
Tell that to Abbott. He only wanted one one-hour debate.
@@dan_hitchman007 which would have been fine if they narrowed it down to like top 5 issues instead of everything under the sun. But should have been longer remember Beto agreed to all the terms so
@@chriskingery3555 There would not have been any debates if Abbott had gotten his way. Beto coaxed him into one. Ask yourself why Abbott wanted none and then when there was one put forth... no audience. That's the mark of a dictator. He doesn't want to be held accountable to the voters. Other GOP candidates and incumbents have acted similarly.
The bell was very distracting. Hard to pay attention to the answers.
@@chriskingery3555 bc it was the ONLY way he could even get Abbott to agree TO debate! Abbott is a disaster here in TX. He's in the NRA's pocket. Those little kids were shot in the FACE. They had to identify them by the shoes they wore and Abbott turned around and signed a law that allowed everyone to carry without a permit anywhere! We have had men come in to visit at our church with 45's in their pockets!!! It's crazy!
As someone who’s lived in El Paso for over 20 years I can tell you our city is safe cause we have a big ass wall/fence that was built during Obama Era. Immigrants are poring in in overwhelming numbers because they are just letting them in
Media needs to stop with these stupid ass rules of 30 seconds 15 seconds for rebuttals my hod let them debate.
"mEdiA"
Media is having mercy on us. If they just let the debate go without any time limits, it would be several hours long. And especially, the candidates would shout over one another and we wouldn't understand a word of it.
no they dont, the 1 minute comments, 30 second rebuttal is perfect. its quick, its too the point, and they take turns several times back and forth. theres no need for them to make a speech on every issue
They were Abbott's rules. Otherwise, they would have been no debate at all.
Says a lot about Abbott doing that
@@Acolis you’re lazy to think you can get any real substance on 1 minute
My mom has been complaining about her property and school tax every year since I was a kid. I get it now that I am a grown up.
Has she said anything about the lack of a state income tax? Or are we just whining?
@@theogkaleb4150 - imagine defending one tax scheme because another tax scheme hasn't been implemented.
@@robinvegas4367 imagine thinking defending taxes at all was something anybody would do unironically lol your reading comprehension needs work. Don’t come for me, I’ll ruin your day, pal 🤪
@@theogkaleb4150 - "or are we just whining"
Your words Einstein. You're directly saying the op should quit whining about property tax because they don't pay state income tax. No other interpretation.
@@robinvegas4367 do you know what a question mark is? It would seem I’ve posed a question, not made a statement. If you’d like to go down the semantic rabbit hole, we can do that. Or we could discuss the morality of taxation in general if you’d like? Up to you, big dog.
It was only two candidates. Why not give them 3-5 minutes per main question and then 2 minutes for rebuttal?
-Here's a question. You have 60 seconds.
-Answers without explicitly answering the question word for word.
-Here's the exact same question because the answer wasn't direct enough. You have 15 seconds.
-Answers the same way.
Debate needs to be podcast style, talk it out without interruption.
I think they should have had 90 second answers. You can make a decent amount of info in 90 seconds. I am kinda thinking it was shortened to keep it to buzz words which would favor the governor rather than real plans for policy. They still haven't talked about the evergreen third rail of school funding that was started from ann richards and never fixed 🙄 full disclosure, i support centralized school funding. Maybe that's "too big government " for this state, but letting all this charter voucher nonsense burn up tax payers money on basically scams masked as schools is just gross. I was an uber driver and picked up a big cheese guy from a charter school network and he was talking with his buddy about how they don't hire certified teachers including for special ed. It was gross
Then the republicans just filibuster, I.e. talk and talk and talk to keep the other side from talking, or to waste time until nobody cares anymore.
I'm sure Beto would gladly welcome any opportunity to do something like that. The problem is Gov Abbott would never agree to that, because he's clearly not interested in having real conversations where he can actually be held accountable. Texas Republicans run and hide from accountability like the disingenuous cowards they are.
the rules said 30 seconds for responses, yet the moderators were only giving 15.
Neither 15 or 30 is enough. They should have 1 -2 mins minimum

Yeah Abbott wouldn't do well in a genuine debate, he doesn't have a leg to stand on.
@@tonyploma2330 I agree. You can't deliver an explanation for diddly in fifteen to thirty seconds. I've seen High School debates give longer response times. This was ridiculous.
If they want some of the illegals abbot has been having to deal with I’m pretty sure they’d just have to call and ask and abbot would gladly send them
A simple yes or no Francis... The King of flip flops jeeze. gonna start calling this guy senior chancla
Im voting for the bell. I got more out of the bell, than I did from both candidates.Give more time for rebbutles next time.
😂😂😂
Ding, ding, we have a winner! The Bell! 😂😮😊
this isn't a debate at all, this is a QnA that happens to feature 2 people running for office.
Thank you for posting. The fact that major news outlets didn't run this is criminal.
Their job is to hide real politics and promote sponsored narratives with sound bites so the average American don't know wtf is going on.
For many years Texas Republicans have deliberately scheduled debates to coincide with high school football because they don't want people to watch.
Almost as criminal as the last president
@@Tortilla.Reform hilarious that you bought the program good little sheep 🐑 😄 🤣 😆

Thank God Beto is still NOT the governor of Texas. I just moved here. I would have to move again if Beto had won. OMG yuck.
Beto would of been the best governor in the country besides Gavin Newsom
@@fazediscovery5 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
My problem with politicians is they play the blame game and their constituent and they keep pocketing money, they go out richer than when they went in and their constituents are still the same boat.
They play off people's emotions. And they lie, lie, lie. Most of them do. They have always played the blame game. That's why our country is divided. Republican and democrat.. that' divides us right there. We need to get rid of the 2 party government. And have a government that only does what is good for the people. Not for themselves.
They hugged it our at the end of the debate
Abbott took a million dollar bribe, uh, campaign contribution. From the guy (Kelsey Warren) who made billions from the freeze, while people died. I say Warren bought Abbott CHEAP.
@@phrogme2450 it's cheap to buy any politician. Don't kid yourself. Trump was an exception but he was undermined by John Bolton, James comey, and that communist general.
