It's time to make English the official language of the United States.

We don’t need debates in Mexican. How are normal Americans supposed to understand what they say?

Two days ago, I had a call from Beto’s headquarters wanting to know if they could count on my support. I said; “Hell no.”
They asked why?
I said because he’s already on record of stating he would vote to impeach Trump.
Then they asked who I would be supporting. “Ted of course”.
To: yesthatjallen
Hey Beto!
If you can’t assimilate, YOU’VE ALREADY LOST!!!!

It’s a trap. She is training to speak as rapidly and incomprehensively as possible in Spanish.

If you are running for office in the USA, debates are in English.
If you want to debate in Spanish, go south of the border and so it there.

Marco Rubio Says Ted Cruz Can't Speak Spanish, Cruz Responds In Spanish
TED CRUZ: Marco went on Univision, in Spanish, and said he would not rescind President Obama's illegal executive amnesty on day one, I would rescind every single ilegal executive action including that one. .
MARCO RUBIO: I don't know how he knows what I said on Univision, because he doesn't speak Spanish. and second of all--
TED CRUZ: [Speaking in Spanish] We can do this in Spanish if you want to, go ahead.

Beto is either not too impressed with Cruz’s skill in Spanish, or thinks this will offer him some other advantage, like the Hispanic vote.

O’Rourke plays hardball. A ploy to attract the BLUE state voters, in Houston, Dallas, San Antonio and along the border.

To: RitaOK
Texas Senator Ted Cruz attacked his Democratic opponent, Robert Beto O'Rourke, for using a Hispanic nickname to attract voters after his primary win last night. The attack led to it being pointed out to Cruz, whose first name is Rafael, that O'Rourke is not the only one in the race to opt against going by his . Hilarious. Robert O'Rourke browns himself up by calling himself "Beto" and Rafael Cruz whites himself up with the moniker "Ted."
What a country.

With Trump in office, it's time to propose English as the official language of the United States.
He should start talking about it at his rallies.
It will fire up the base and force the issue.
