Isn't it awesome how we only let political debaters talk for 15-30 seconds at a time, yet we got to listen to lawyers debating Amber Heard's pooping the bed for 6 weeks?
Thank you - these moderators love to hear themselves talk
💯
It is even shorter than a job interview.
Greg Abbott wouldn't agree for longer response times
Apparently he believed explaining the facts wouldn't do his campaign any good
😂😂😂
Why on earth do they still do this stupid “60, 30 second” nonsense. Give them an opportunity to talk!!! We’re voting for our lives. This shouldn’t be some sort of word game. I don’t know why politicians don’t just debate on Joe Rogan or other podcasts that are actually popular and will give all the time they need to talk. Along with a more REALIST moderator.
Then it would be a very long discussion, the guests on Joe Rogan are picked by Joe by invitation. This is TV, every minute counts cause it costs money
Because the moderators/news are in the pockets of the republicans and the wealthy. The longer the convo goes on, the less republicans have to gain. Between Abbott, who didn't want to have a studio audience, and Beto, who wants more debates, who do you think is more about transparency?
@@moiC3770 so what, they have the money for it! They raise billions now every campaign and midterm year. And its literally two ppl talking its not that hard to edit and narrow it down. But such limited ability to fully articulate their case is lame.
“Voting for our lives?”😂😂 Ain’t nobody wasting their time to harm you
Good points. Which is why they used to have more than one debate.
I appreciate them for hosting this debate, but I think it’s simply ridiculous and unfair to expect _anyone_ to give meaningful answers within 15, 30, or even 60 seconds. And I thought the 2-minute limit they had on Presidential debates was pretty bad. 😒
I hear ya but everyone should do their own research. Go look at Abbots record as governor and then go check out Beto and read up on what his agenda and goals are for the state. No one should just watch a debate and decided. These guys are out in the world and their actions speak for themselves
That’s exactly how Abbot wanted it.
@@nickpaz9113 yeah Beto is out of the world somewhere...
@@KilikTX GOOD.
@@KB-ke3fi good solid arguments my man.
A debate for the Governor’s job should have been longer and more then just one ,
Gov. Abbott would have just mopped the floor with Bozo again and agiain. Save Beto a lot of embarrassment
@@tonydefrancisco4928 saved us from hearing betos constant talking points too. Honestly this was exhausting watching Beto just avoid all the issues
Debate starts at 11:10
Thank you!
Thanks G
🎉
MVP
Thanks, appreciate the heads up.
The question is longer than time to answer. 😥🥺
Greg Abbott's campaign would only agree to debate if there was 15 to 30 seconds to answer a question
Bruh
Its annoying when they do not answer questions directly.
Its a shame in this country that even the ”democrat” candidate cant say hes against civilians needing AR15s. Sad state the country is in. School shooting everywhere and we cant even get unnecessary weapons out of peoples hands. So glad I work online and got the hell out of the US. Working on leaving permanently. Its a shitshow. Vote with your feet.
They will block you if you try to say the true they won't let you say what people think about the Governor that's wrong on the part of face book to block people that s saying what they think it's freedom of speech
THEY COULDN'T ADDRESS EVERYTHING. BECAUSE THERE WAS NOT ENOUGH TIME!!!
Whatever side you may be on, I think we can all agree this was an awful format. Shame this will be the only "debate".
Not enough time to cover anything…just enough for each to get their talking points in. Waste of time.
Moderators were rude. Waste of time. We know Beto is a gun grabber and Abbott was too hands off during 2020’s riots. This was only fodder for Twitter to flip out of context like it means anything.
Blame Greg for that lmao he only wanted the one
@@f1ref1rst62 and I can see why. Who could stand more of “Beto” the white guy pretending to be Mexican?
@@rando6836 lmao I’m sorry you’re upset but it ain’t my fault Abbott is a complete and total failure of a governor. Also it WAS his choice to only have ONE debate, and to have it without any people in the audience.
Get mad though 😝 it’s funny lmao
This was not a debate, it was a time management contest.
As someone who competes in debate, that's what debate is.
All debates have time limits.
BETO was a fighter while Abbott stumble with fabrication.
@@hectors.sanchez23 Beto is a joke lol....
@@alecvz7402 Not in my books. Abbott has been lying to and are being play for a fool. good luck to that.
I like the part where Abbott says the Governor has no control over property taxes but he's going to lower them.
Correct. He can only draft legislation that the states house and senate vote on it.
@@wpistol I think you missed the point. Also, he's been in office for almost 8 years.
Yeah, just vote for Beto and Democrats that wanna take almost half your income in taxes because it's "the good Socialism"
@@datmeme8967 Your point ?
@@tmtex He's talking out of both sides of his mouth. Not a great quality for a leader. You can't at the same time have no control over something that you are claiming to be able to change. Plus he's been in office for 8 years. If he has a way to do it, why hasn't he started already?
Beto tried so hard to trash Abbott….Abbott had an answer for all of it. 😅
YESSSSS for Mr. BETO, Good job!!! YOU HAVE MY VOTE FOR SURE👍👍
This debate should have been on television nationally and there should have been a studio audience.
Abbott didn't want one. Not sure why though
I agree!
@@kellybrus8663 'Cause Abbott's scared of the fact that he hasn't done anything, and doesn't want people reacting to that on TV.
SOMEONE SHOW PROOF WHERE IT WAS UP TO ABBOTT NOT WANTING AN AUDIENCE OR THIS TELEVISED!!
@@kellybrus8663 we all know why lol
You would assume the moderators would have practiced a few sessions this week! Both Beto and Abbott were having to rush their responses. At least they behaved as adults!
The moderators really doing the work for Abbott by shutting down debate. Wonder if they were paid? 🤔
Do you really need a debate to know that you SHOULD NOT vote for “Beto”. smh
@@ajsans9161 i mean abbot has done alot of political theater and didnt keep the lights on and he was the single person that allowed the power company to charge people outrageous bills.
@@danielpierce9876 “Political theater”? Explain that one.
It was only some individual electric companies that overcharged people because their customers didn’t realize that their rates were subject to change because of the plan they chose and didn’t change the rate prior to the freeze. That had nothing to do with the governor.
@@ajsans9161 he allowed them to do this. He changed the way electric companies were allowed to charge people therfore allowing them to charge people outrageous bills. Abbott chose not to cap the price increase and how much it can fluctuate. The bigger problem is that the grid failed under Abbott. And I doubt you want to see when it freezes again which the farmers almanac says will probably occur again. So how exactly is Abbott capping the percentage increase on the customers and not Abbott?
THE TEXAS LOTTO WAS SUPPOSED TO PAY FOR SCHOOLS AND TEACHERS !! WHERE ARE THOSE FUNDS GOING ???
I think it is obvious....Abbott and his thugs have DEEP POCKETS.
They going to the politicians of both parties pocket.
@@alfonsobenitez8574 you nailed it !!!
The Lotto funds were going to offset what was already allocated for schools. It NEVER was additional $$$
ROBERT O'ROURKE is not about ambition 😤 he is about the party that has brought America to New LOWS!
60 seconds not enough for them to answer
They didn’t even give Abbott 30 on some questions. Ridiculous waste of time. These debates are only useful to make sound bites for political ads.
Right on rando! So true!
From Abbott's point, 60 seconds of lies, misdirection and playing the victim is plenty.
60 seconds is too long for Greg mumbling his way through questions. He needs 15 secs...but I do like his LOOK OVER THERE! A SQUIRREL statements
It is enough if you actually answer. Abbott could barely pretend to answer most of the time.
This is the worst debate ever. Why even have moderators? Let them have a 3 hour conversation and see who is full of it.
Abbott wanted to restrict capability for debate in the first place. He already banned the notion of a direct audience.
Let Joe Rogan moderate LOL
Would much rather hear a Joe Rogan-style debate/conversation between these two
Doesn't even have to be Rogan... Make a town hall... and Iet the 2 candidates TALK TO THE PEOPLE... they're running for the governor of the state's people, right? Or are they running to brown nose the moderator?
@@améliehester6996 The only issue I see with this format is that it tends to operate more off of an emotional basis, and that objectivity can get lost. I’d say let there be a moderator who is as impartial as possible; run it in a 2-3 hour style with 20 minute opening statements, 15 minutes for rebuttal, 15 more minutes for counter-rebuttal, 20 minutes cross-examination to see how “air-tight” arguments are, THEN audience Q&A for 45 minutes-1 hour, then 5-10 minutes to make closing statements.
I think it’s very important to listen to the people of Texas but there are times when even a majority of people can be wrong about something (e.g., Nazi Germany, Salem witch trials, the Jim Crow South). Moral and rational principles should be emphasized over what is popular in society at any given time in history.
But that’s just millennial Chicano’s perspective on it
How in the world would Texans vote for Rourke? Rourke hasn't even answered a question with a solution. He answers in hypothetical ways
Agree,but dear Lord if they do...America's Sovereignty is in danger.
@@josephinemorgan6582 sad to say, but the people who are voting for Beto are voting for him for his fantasized solutions that's impossible to achieve. These people are voting with their feelings and emotions, not by facts or the truth. When these people were asked why they are voting for him amd what policies they like. They have no answers, words or clue to why. Its sad
@@ikas808 i saw a video on fb where someone was going around a college campus here in texas and going around asking them who they were gonna vote for and almost all of them said Beto and when asked why they literally had no answer as to why they were voting for him. Its insane how they have liberal kids voting without knowing why
@@ikas808 yup. I just voted for him today
@@JavierPerez-ge8fj just by your name. I understand why you would vote for him. Comprehending english must be difficult for you. You're not able to decipher the truth from a lie.
something people do not understand about abortion. Late term abortion is incredibly rare. If you are that far along and you opt for an abortion, it's likely due to an emergency issue and a real doctor wouldn't do it unless it was an emergency. a woman at 8 months doesn't wake up and change her mind.. she's IN. it would be very very rare...
Absolutely
I feel most people will not get an abortion if the federal and state government really support the family from conception to graduation. They just perform lipservice. I they care for the child while in womb but once out, they turn their back.
@@bw7050 to what end? Should we support parents that have 3, 4, 5, 8 children even though they knew they couldn't afford them? I understand we shouldn't just toss children to the side because their parents use their privates more than their brains, but I have one special needs child and we have to live extremely below the poverty line and the government is okay with knowing that we struggle financially on a daily basis and mentally, emotionally struggling more than the average family. It would actually financially help me with the current system if I continued to pop out babies. I would get to live in a bigger government apartment for less money, I would qualify for foodstamps if I had more children, if any of them were disabled like the child I already have it would just be an increase in the social security check I have to live off of, maybe it would actually be enough to pay the bills. How is that fair for anybody including the children? I gave birth to you just for greater government assistance. Idk what the solution is but most definitely things need to be changed.
It's not rare now that it's not based on doctors opinion of emergency.
It is rare: late term abortions represent less than 1% of abortions. In all states where late term abortions are illegal (a majority of states), there are exceptions for medical reasons at the least and life of the mother at most. Late term abortions for convenience, as sick as they are, do happen. Women sometimes DO change their mind "overnight" because most women are incredibly fragile and uncertain during pregnancy, especially if they're unmarried or teen to-be mothers. Every pro-lifer I've ever met is OK with having exceptions for serious medical complications in late term bans. If ones for convenience are so rare, than you should have no problem joining us in supporting a ban.
Beto "he's going to try to blame Biden for everything"
very next question
Abbot "it's Biden's fault!"
thats because it is.
@@dap12425 I did not know that Biden was responsible for the bull pulled in Texas that I called out in the video "Donald J Trump losing is just a start" which was uploaded when Biden wasn't even president yet. ...wait a minute.
It objectively is, though.
😂 cry babies
@@allegorx58 Biden is at fault for problems that were preexisting before January 2020? The same problems that led to the winter storm idiocy and the Uvalde massacre? BITE ME.
Abbott lied. Texas ranks 45 in mental health care. Abbott gets an F-.
He’s still better than Beto who would turn Texas into California
A quick internet search of unbiased sources ranks Texas as 28th.
But you know let's not let pesky facts get in the way of our propaganda consumption.
Ah Beto, the worst politician rich out of state people can buy.
Beto is the biggest crybaby is the state of Texas…he the last thing any of us need right now.
Abbott doesn't really answer the questions he just thinks by repeating "its all Bidens fault" that it somehow gets him off the hook to give a real answer. Orourke gave straight forward answers with real solutions without blaming constantly and he was a lot more polished.
Didn't Beto want to build bridges instead of walls?
because it is biden's fault. he opened our border. this wasn't happening under trump.
@@MrLuffy9131 You mean, those walls that are crumbling?
The wall I promised Mexico would pay for?
Talk about a complete waste of tax payers money on absolutely NOTHING!
@@MrLuffy9131 satire
The illegals invading is on Biden. It's the Feds that reversed all Trump's policies. Both sides need to get together and come up with enforceable laws for legal immigration.
Even more sophomoric than the “debate” itself is the ridiculously amateurish “analysis” by the prom queens and high school student council presidents. The broadcast is an unqualified failure and did almost nothing to shed light on any of the issues that were brought up.
At this point anyone that doesn't understand the issues and the candidate's stances on those issues is completely braindead and should not vote.
Agree Greg Abbott got away with not answering some question. He retaliated on the blame game pointing finger as BETO. It discredit him 2 X-X's for Abbott.
agreed
This wasn't a debate it was more of a rush Questioniare!!
Actually it was a debate, But I like BETO spilling the beans on Abbott. It was true during the Covid period Abbott refuse to pay the teacher more money to get back to work. I know this because of the school across my street. Most teacher I greet in the morning complain of low wages and risking the fear of that virus. The President sent the funds Abbott pocket this funds.
It's the only thing Greg Abbott would agree to
are u that slow😂
Abbott has been governor for 2 terms. I think he had enough time to fix our most pressing problems here in Texas. And yet our property taxes keep going up, there are more mass shootings, teachers are leaving, and the power grid is hanging by a thread. So is this the kind of Texas we all want to live in?
This seems like a projection being that seems to be what is happening in California
You're aware betto will will turn texas into California with rolling blackouts because hes in the eco cult.
How much do you get paid to post? GOD BLESS TEXAS! :D
Yes. Why do you think people from California or New York are moving to Texas? They are running away from radical liberal policies like what Robert O'Rourke wants to implement. Abbott is the only one trying to stop uncontrolled illegal immigration.
Which Democrat ideas are currently working that would make you even consider voting for them?
Why wasn’t this aired in the DFW metro?
And why wasn’t there an audience? Why were the families of the victims of the Uvalde shooting not allowed into the debate hall? Because Greg Abbott decided the terms of this debate in a cowardly manner. He’s too afraid to address the public because he has failed Texas over the last eight years as governor. All he wants is Beto to give him a sound byte for his next next NRA funded campaign ad. Vote blue!
Because they don't want you to know how bad Abbott is
How is that a "different program"???? Really William??
@@CTde110 Beto the fake hispanic is going to lose because he's stupid and so are his few voters.
Democrat complaining about fuel cost. Hahahahha leave it to a democrat to increase fuel cost 150% and then ask for us to be happy when fuel drops 20% and they call the biggest fuel price decrease in history.
How did the Democrats raise gas prices? Did or did they not ( Abbott) sell the biggest oil refiner to Saudi Arabia?
Lol, Economics 101. Supply and demand are the reasons for gas prices rising and falling.
@@keithlanier1399 Biden has canceled federal drilling permits across the country, this is the main reason why fuel cost have increased. Most of these democrats spend their time and blame Russia for this war, by saying it's the sole reason why the prices of gas has increased. It's false, our country has tons of gas inreserve. Our president chooses to not use it. This Democrat party has lost its way. The are losing many support, especially people like my father who came from another country 35 years ago. This party is lost, they choose nothing to do about fuel cost, but want the nation to spend $75 k on electric cars. What a joke
27:50 and on Beto demonstrates he is unable to answer a straight question.
also like how he called the gun used a weapons' of war. a AR 15 is far from that. do they have guns like it yes Lkike the AK47
100%
they both dodged questions
@@christiangraulau8107 yea they alll do
Texas this is what Eight years of failure looks like.
You should visit places like Chicago, California, Seattle, Minneapolis and you'll see how great we have it here
Very accurate. Texas is a total mess because of Abbott
You mean the state that everyone has been flocking to from blue states? That kind of failure?
If it’s failing so badly, why do people keep moving here, all while the bluest states (IL, CA, NY) are all declining in population?
I don't understand constantly blaming Joe Biden. Is he running for governor of TX or President?
because biden opened our southern border.
That's what they do best.
Deflect, Deflect, Deflect.
Lauren Bobert did the same thing regarding Nancy Pelosi.
Texas is having to do the federal government’s work because the Dementia in Chief is incompetent. Imagine how bad it will be under Beto.
In terms of the border, Biden is the person to blame. So Abbott does have that correct.
I do believe that Joe Biden was being mentioned because of the Millions of people who have invaded our country because of his policies
Typical dem to switch the topic when you get em cornered
I am voting for Abbott as he has the most experience in all TEXAS.
Nothing but excuses from Abbott, blaming and doing nothing for 8 years. We need term limits and a do something governor
Still better than the Irishman pretending to be a Mexican. As an actual Latino, I find "Beto" disgusting.
Which Democrat ideologies are currently working across the United States? Why are the bluest states rapidly losing residents as everyone’s moving to places like TX, TN, FL?
@@alexc9638 haha you do know republican states are the lowest in, quality of life, life expectancy, salary, mental health,
I guess Abbot is running against Biden, not Beto. He sure is pimping all the usual RW talking points.
That’s actually true! He is truly running against Biden and not Beto. All the money comes from the DNC and Beto is a puppet for the DNC.
TX is having to do the federal government’s job because your dementia in Chief is so incompetent. Imagine how bad it would be with Beto.
Nothing to say, as usual!
DEFLECT, DEFLECT, DEFLECT....never a fix or gameplan from the "Dic"tatorship" party.
Typical Republican tactic, blame everything on everyone else. No real solutions, can't run on a solid platform of ideas. A dead, cold-hearted product that is beyond expired is what the republican party has become. Plus, we gotta address the fact that he can't run against anyone....
Why was this not played in the local channels?
Abbott refused to debate live or on TV.
14 minutes in and Beto already made me swallow vomit.
My electricity bill has increased more in the last year than the last 10 years combined. My house was 30 degrees without power during the storm and as a reward my electricity bill hit $600 this year🙃
The price for electricity is almost as much as my mortgage payment! We're really struggling to keep the lights turned on and food on the table
Welcome to Biden's economy, amazing what happens when you shut down US oil production and instead rely on paying tax dollars for foreign oil, isn't it?
My electricity bill was over $700 this month; however just two months ago, my lights were out for several hours. Been in Texas since 2019... the grid situation is really bad here and Abbot didn't provide any solutions.
@@mrsakharris Thank the POTATUS and his globalist crew for raising energy costs on us by destroying our independence on energy.
During the freeze I didn’t lose power at all and my light bill is only 350 a month with my air set at 65 degrees daily stop blaming people for making poor decisions. Switch light companies, buy a house near a hospital grid so you won’t lose power it’s easy
30 seconds is not enough time to answer important questions
They also failed to mention that as property appraisals go up, the state legislature gets more funding and our school districts get less. We have to change the school finance system in Texas.
Agree
Property appraisals affect both in direct correlation of their set tax rates. What you just said is total b.s. and a straight lie.
@@marlboroman71818 I’m not trying to be argumentative here, but here is a quote from the school district I am a teacher in: “When local property tax collections do not fully fund the Tier 1 entitlement, state revenues are earned. When local property tax collections result in more revenues than are necessary to cover the Tier 1 Entitlement, the district sends those excess tax collections to the state through a mechanism called recapture. In tier 2, if the golden Pennie’s and copper Pennie’s do not produce the required revenue per student, the additional state revenues are earned. There is no recapture of the tax collections generated by the golden penny portion of the tax rate; however, the copper penny revenue is subject to recapture. As local tax collections increase, state funds to a school district decrease.” I misspoke before when I said property appraisals, and what I meant was property taxes, especially specific to the situation my community is in. I hope that makes sense…
@@marlboroman71818 anyways, the technicality of the tax revenue collection rules where I teach has led to my state legislature having something like a $27 billion surplus and our district having a $47 million deficit.
All Abbott did was reflect blame to everyone else. He didn't provide any real solutions. Abbott needs to go.
keep living in fear
@@sergiodominguez6016 of Abbott?
Facts
Beta didn't provide any solutions. Please remind him to not drink and drive after he loses.
G'Abbott's Gotta GO!!
💙🇺🇲
And I don't care where he goes. As long as he does.
Abbott 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸👍 👍🤟
I honestly don't know how you can listen to Abbot blame everyone else for his failures as a governor and still vote for him. He took no accountability for anything.
Ask yourself this.
Why do radical left states like California New York
Have the highest crime rate. Highest homeless rate, highest unemployment rate.
Why do you want that for other states?
I ASK AGAIN
The media censors me. I hope this stays.
Please think for yourself
THE LEFT HAS THE WHITE HOUSE, HAS THE HOUSE, HAD THE SENATE.
Then why is America decaying.
19 MONTHS OF FAILED POLICIES
HIGHEST CRIME
HIGHEST UNEMPLOYMENT
HIGHEST ENERGY CRISIS
HIGHEST INTEREST RATES
HIGHEST BORDER CRISIS
B b bbbb b u. But TRUMP
GTFO . Democrats have changed..
I was a democrat but they went bananas. I think for myself an you should do as well
Well let's see...big three...
1. Illegal alien invasion...not Abbott's control.
2. Dobbs decision...SCOTUS ruling
3. Uvalde school shooting...Uvalde cops' failure, Abbott wasn't in the hallway.
For what exactly do you want Abbott to be held accountable???
Exactly. Even on a basic job interview they ask about a time you failed or made a mistake at work.
What failures since open carry was up crime went down biden border policy is not state policy so we can only take in not send back
Yea that sounds really familiar. It's trump's fault, it's the oil companies, it's the Putin Price Hike, it's greedy small businesses, it's the evil MAGA republicans who just need to get out of the way. Don't recall old sleepy Joe taking responsibility for anything either except that pathetic 16 cent savings for Thanksgiving.
I’m not voting for Abbott because I actually support him…I just like yelling “LOSER” at people who have those Beto bumper stickers.
Man this was one giant blaming match 😂
For Abbott
Aagghh! Why was the open-ended session cut off! Where the rest????
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 i guess they need to answer
YESSS ABOLISH THE STARR TEST
College curriculum is so different because we're not learning curriculum for a test, but for the sake of education.
I want beto to win!
Go Beto! Get out for Texas 👏
There weren't debating each other. There were debating the timer.
I almost feel bad for Abbott because I know that's the best he can do and it was absolutely terrible. Especially next to Beto.
What a maroon
I know
@@marioduran8224 You're talking about Abbott, right?
Who is he running against? Beto or Biden?
I think Abbott's confused about that. LOL!!
TX is having to do the federal government’s job because your dementia in chief refuses to do his job. Imagine how bad the border would be with Beto.
One is the same. Beto said he would tear down the wall and come take our weapons. Beto and Biden are cut from the same cloth.
The Nation's boarder is a Federal issue, not a state issue.
They are just puppets of the same puppeteer.
VOTE RED FOR GREG ABBOTT...MAGA🇺🇸🇺🇸❤
Abbott lost a lot of vote during this debate
No audience. Abbot is so afraid of actual Texans showing their support for Beto. How much of a coward do you have to be to not allow people at the debate?
😂
@M Green Jenkins makes a good point. Why not have an audience?
@M Green it shows Beto suede voters who were undecided 🤷♂️
And where’s the proof that it was Abbot’s decision to have no audience?
@@brodyrulz5986 because they announced it in the post debate show. Abbott also didn’t join the post debate show as Beto did. Beto is asking for more debates. Abbott only agreed to one. Beto does town halls in front of large audiences all over the state. That’s his jam. This was Abbott’s condition- no audience.
if you love liars then vote for Beto
Beto destroyed abbott
Easily.
Lol
Which doesn't take much. LoL
Lies.
@@jamescash8051 And the Trump crime family tells truths eh? You wouldn't know a lie from the truth. Cork it fascist
They need to ditch the Bell and time limits. What's needed is a firm moderator with a commanding tone.
AGREED.. Jeez
Beto is no match for any debate. Gov. Abbot ate Beto’s lunch!
A true leader takes responsibility. Abbott blames everyone but himself for shortfalls. Another 8 years of this and our children and women will not be safe.
And everyone's safe under Democrats? Have you looked at the border?
GREAT POINT.. SO TRUE... LEADERS TACK RESPOSIBILITY THEN WORK TO CORRECT IT THEN, MAKE IT BETTER 😀🤙
He's trying to keep Texas safe by securing our border, which is actually the responsibility of the federal government who is not lifting a finger to help us.
Lol, you are funny. There are plans in place and funding for schools to become more secure. Uvalde did not utilize those resources. In other words they never thought it would happen there. But it did.
@@peggyivey5828 so explain the plan.
Ulvade pd failed the kids they stood outside the class room
So? I didn't see Beto rushing in to save them either.
@@minigirl6839 He isn’t a police officer who was trained to handle that situation.
Which is exactly why people should protect their second amendment rights and allow trained teachers to be armed if they want plus on site security. It's really ironic that Beto uses this example to push gun control because the police will protect you...except this was one of the worst police failings ever.
@@Airvian Teachers and school staff are already allowed to carry arms in Texas schools. Learn the law before commenting. It saved exactly zero children that this is already allowed. Teachers are already leaving the profession in record numbers. Asking them to be storm troopers does not help that. Greg Abbott failed these families and all of the other child gun deaths that doubled under his watch. Time for him to go.
Yes, they did and they also arrested parents who were trying to save their kids and do what the police were unwilling to do. There is still no accountability and Greg Abbott continues to do absolutely nothing about it. He's a failure.
I love them shaking hands at the end. Fair play no matter what.
Governer Abbot, you got my vote.
why? why would you actually vote for him?
Greg Abbott is like a 8yr old pointing the finger at anyone and everyone he possibly can, it's so ignorant!
Your response alone ...has the same snot picking pouting ..outlet
All politicians point fingers at each other instead of pointing it at themselves when they screw up or just want someone else to blame. At least Abbott sticks to what he says vs Francis not being able to make up his mind on any agenda

Why is the reporter not giving Beto O'Rourke the fair seconds he's giving Abbott?
Biased.
Probably another one of snowflake Abbott's conditions. He likely requested a moderator who would be biased to him. I told my partner, I bet Greg demanded he get the final closing statement too - and he did. This is all to protect fragile Greg and it still didn't work for him.
I said the same damn thing. Ridiculous. Beto did well despite their efforts to silence him though. 👍
Vote for Abbott. Beta Beto would destroy our Texas, like dems destroyed everything
Is the debate with beto or Biden??
Look Abbott should probably be replaced, I dont like him, but definitely not Beto, Abbott makes me role my eyes, Beto makes me physically sick. I'd rather deal with incompetent Abbott, than a radical like Beto. Beto is exactly what you would think he is, a basic Democrat progressive, and would push the same radical legislation. If Texans want trans kids, no guns, and crt pushed in schools, you know who to vote for. Democrats are just not centered around American values, they say they care, but all they want to do is buy your vote with little pats on the back, and pretty words. They want to reshap America into their delusional socialist utopia, but all its going to do is lead to our collapse. Who knows, maybe that's their goal.
Why did Abbott insist on these debate rules? Neither could really answer giving this debate a draw which normally favors the challenger. Beto O'Rourke has momentum cutting Abbott's lead to just 5 points down from 12 points just 4 months ago.
That’s only because many democrats have moved to Texas.
I can save you a ton of time. Here's the summary...
ABBOTT: Blame blame blame blame blame blame blame blame
BETO: Solution solution solution solution solution
Were you watching this on drugs?
they boths sat there and did the same thing.
Both: blame, blame, my solution is this, I did this, I did this
I get not liking the guy but don't lie
Hahahaha! Don’t think your watching the same debate that everyone else saw. Beto wouldn’t know how to run a McDonald’s!
wally on the Crack.
Abbott's really good at saying nothing
And Beto just runs his mouth. One time they asked him what he would do about Trumps wall if her were elected. He said. " I would tear it down". That is when I knew he needed to visit the Wizard of Ozz for a brain.
Those were some of the shortest seconds I’ve ever seen. I think it took 3000 minutes to get through that hour
Why is it that Abbott is getting more time to respond and answer questions than Betto
The moderator offered Abbot a rebuttal after Beto everytime but Beto had to ask to get a rebuttal even after Abbot called him out by name.
They don't want the people to really see it. Or it would have been earlier and on TV.
Abbott refused to debate publicly
@@imjustmeTBD Beto is a commie
And not on a Friday but Abbott made sure that it was buried and there won’t be another
@@laurendavidson7064 yeah because Abbott is scared of a high taxes pro invasion of the border gun grabbing delusional liberal 🤣 lmao
Greg has been a disaster
...for dems 🤣🤣🤣
@@lgarcia4628 had nothing to do with abbot. Education, energy, the border. All fails
Move to California bud.
@@Dbulkss lol. I’m good.
Vote for Greg Abbott and keep America alive and great again
The only thing you're doing is making America hate again.
Yiiiiikes
I love the format no bull crap, no playing to the crowd just quick answers to multiple questions . Not rambling 5 minute answers that ignore the question.
The time limits were far too short to have any decent answers. Should have been at minimum 90 seconds for any question...
I get time limits, but geeez!
One minute of Abbott's lies is about the max anyone should endure. Any longer and that's inhumane.
@@denismeans2910 so true
@@denismeans2910 not inhumane it's worse. So bad it'd make Nanjing look like a damn celebration
Yes but in all honestly you could read the responds from both candidate. BETO was equip while Abbott 7 years of fabrication.
It was one of those conditions that Greg Abbott demanded along with no live audience
This debate is NOT one sided, it's just making Abbott look bad. Texas deserves better
Abbott is making himself look bad, he could even answer if he was a right wing republican 😂
@RockinNova Leftists ask the dumbest questions. Meanwhile Beto gets asked “are you ambitious?”
@@alexc9638 if it's a dumb question then he should of easily been able to answer it. Although the same thing happened to Beto when they asked him about guns. Both of them don't seem like the answers for Texas
abbott is like a fox news bot lol
In the words of Bill Clinton, "That depends on what your definition of 'a Fox News bot' is."
You could insert msnbc, cnn, and any other biased liberal news in place of fox and insult the democrats in the same way.
Imagine being the governor of a state that's larger than most countries in the world and having less political influence on the world stage than the smallest country!
Hummm makes alot of sense ,
No wonder Abbott didn't want an audience. This was so one-sided, it was practically vertical.
Beto pitched a no-hitter
Lol what are your sources claiming it was Abbott not wanting an audience?
@@suppafli1242 the same effort on a search engine would’ve answered your question and confirmed the fact that abbot refused an audience
@@suppafli1242 did you just wanna put a question out there that’s already been answered and reported on are you lost do you think this is google?
@@marioduran8224 Beto pitched to Abbott, if you know what I'm saying
As a proud gun owner, avid hunter, Christian and democrat. I love the second amendment, I also know that criminals abusers, children, and mentally unstable people shouldn’t be able to have guns. Democrats don’t want to take the guns away, the guns aren’t the problems and the people holding them are. If Jesus was in the flesh on earth, he would prioritize the lives of others over these guns. Scripture proves that. If any group should be for gun control, it should be Christians. Abbott has put law enforcement, teachers, and children at risk with open carry.
A Christian democrat? That is an oxymoron
Open carry has stop hundreds and hundreds lives from criminals. Has stopped several shooters. News flash the guy with open carry is your friend. The real scum only uses it once. Don't worry I will save your family while you hide behind what is probably concealment not cover
@@louisbilodeau8682 There's no real evidence of that. Sure. It might happen from time to time. But to say it happens hundreds of times and saved hundreds of people is misleading at best and an outright lie at worst.
@@soulknife20 there is a ton of evidence. Baltimore, Chicago, New York all gun free. Yet have the worst crime rates in the country? Hmm. Worst murder rates, rape, crap they don't even prosecute stealing. No evidence. 👍
You sound like a religious extremists and should not be able to own a gun. You should be red flagged and denied the 2nd ammendment rights.
We have seen what Democrats have done tk America just in the last two years. F Robert and abbot can go too.
He asked Beto to stick to the topic, but not Abbott 🙄
He also gave Abbott more time
Beto has nothing to the point to say.
Beto banks on one fault of Abbott and goes on and on about it. He doesn't have much against Abbott so all he can do is manipulate the voters emotions.
You don't say "it could've been worse" when it is already very very horrible and everything is leveled. A complete FUBAR.
@El Mero Mero give me a break. YOU DONT SAY SOMETHING LIKE THAT. THOSE WERE PEOPLES CHILDREN. IT DOESN’T MATTER IF ONLY ONE LIFE WOULD HAVE BEEN LOST. You don’t say “it could’ve been worse”
Did you not listen..he said he said that because he was given wrong information about what happened
Because context doesn't matter when it comes to getting in the way of your political bias, right?
@@danielbocanegra3649 he wasn’t given misinformation of the number of dead children though. he’s full of b.s 😏
@@crs11becausecrs10wastaken your the one not understanding the context because of your political bias..The man said he wasn’t told the right information so that’s why he said what he said and was pissed when he found out the correct information because I’m sure he would of said something else
Beto is so good, how does anyone with sense think he DIDN'T win the debate?
So good that he’s made a career out of losing. Why would anyone vote Democrat after seeing what their ideas are doing to the country?
He didn't win the debate, he said nothing meaningful
I guess his past history of why he lost, tax evasion issues, flip flopping on issues (actual interviews about taking guns then for keeping guns, for BLM and defunding the police then says he wants to support law enforcement) through out his campaigns throughout the years before makes me wonder 🤔
@@reflect-z3i Neither did Abbott. 😆🤣😂😹
Beto does not represent the majority of Texans. You will see at election time. Why don't the indigent have Obama care because Obama said everyone would be able to afford insurance, and some people don't have to pay anything! Someone tell Beto his Democrat president made it all better.
All Beto does is attack Abbott. I can’t stand him!
Then judge Abbott for making it so incredibly easy to do so.
I mean Abbott does the same, yet he attacks Biden, who isn't even his opponent lmao
Texas, dont be stupid anymore. Make Texas Blue.
If you want to live like California, move to California!
If you want Blue then your candidate should have common values as the domicile population. Texans know what is a woman and Texans know that man can’t get pregnant. If you want your gender transition another blue governor for a blue state will pay you an airplane ticket. So you can abort or transition for free. But if you want to do that locally unfortunately we have a government and governor that listens his own citizens. It’s refreshing, isn’t it?
People don't realize how good we have it in Texas until you go to a place like Chicago or Seattle
@@lgarcia4628
What not to love in Chirak ? Fireworks everywhere, everyday and every night. They can be proud of mayor Beetlejuice. She is awesome. Sarc
If you want blue go to California.
They cut Beto off constantly. Abbott deflects blame constantly.
That's my play book.
Incredibly important to remember that 80% of abortions happen in the first trimester, which Abbot deflected by playing on people's emotions by commenting about "Fully formed babies". Anyone having an abortion later is making an incredibly personal and difficult decision and is likely based on life or death.
This should have been televised!
I’m still waiting for governor Abbot to get all those rapists off the street he said he was going to get every darn one of them. All 17,000 omg
Kinda impossible to do when the new regime decides to just let them literally walk right into the country, yeah?
@@crs11becausecrs10wastaken you think all the rapists are coming from Mexico I’ve got some oceanfront property in the parking lot I will sell you. Lol
@@crs11becausecrs10wastaken you are killing it in these comments!!! 🇺🇸
@@amandab60 facts are cryptonite to these Soros paid propagandist clowns.
It's a pleasure to dismantle their disinformation campaign and lies every chance I get.
Interesting... year over year (June 2021 vs June 2022) Texas electricity cost up almost 29%. One of the highest in the country.
“The Energy State”
that is because abbott passed laws allowing the electric companies to re-coop their losses from the 2021 freeze.
It's not just Texas, it's country wide.
It's kinda what happens when you shut down domestic production and instead start paying for foreign oil.
Welcome to Biden's America.
I think they need more green energy it really seems to be working everywhere it’s being attempted. Hahahaha
Sir your sarcasm is showing.
Beto is unqualified but he wants it so so bad. One can sense his desperation. Beto is a professional complainer and a whiner. Good leaders already have followers. Where are his followers? Who does he lead? What has he done? From what I know, Beto has taken a couple of swipes at things but he can not show proof that he should be trusted with our entire state. I can hear the complaints continue if he is in charge that he doesn’t have the funding of a California or that others aren’t cooperating with him and that he cannot get things done, etc. No thanks!
I hope O'Rourke gets the seat, Abbott has no respect for children or their safety. Not trying to be political but kids MATTER.
How is he gone say Beto is lying abt mental health but type in who’s the last in mental health by state texas is dead last cmon 😭😭
He's a little lying puff
Mental health really is an issue then.
He took away 216 million from mental health funding. You can't say it is important afterwards. If it was important now - it was important then.
