U.S. Rep. Beto O'Rourke, D-El Paso, has invited U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, to participate in six debates with O'Rourke across Texas, two of them in Spanish, during their U.S. Senate race.

O'Rourke campaign manager Jody Casey made the proposal in a letter last week to Cruz's senior staff, adding that the debates should have "media reach to all twenty markets in the state."

"I would like to begin direct coordination of the debates with your campaign team between now and May 10th," Casey wrote to Cruz advisers Bryan English and Eric Hollander in the April 24 letter. “Please advise my best point of contact on the Cruz campaign team."

Cruz previously suggested he is open to debating O'Rourke. Cruz's campaign said in response to the letter that it was exploring its options.

2. He doesn't, that's why Beto did this.

He’s trying to rally support of the massive Hispanic population in Texas and show that Cruz doesn’t represent them.

That's weird. I can't put an accent over the i, which it needs.

"will never be accepted as white"

It seems to have worked for 'Ted' Cruz.

Rafael Cruz changed his nickname from 'Felito to Ted' and pretends his first name is not worthy of the white culture.

He ridiculed an opponent's nickname.

Funny that he never ridiculed 'Bobby' Jindal who named himself after a tv character to be more 'white'.
