Discussion Megathread: Ted Cruz and Beto O'Rourke Debate

Posted: 21 Sep 2018 03:56 PM PDT

Senator Ted Cruz and Representative Beto O'Rourke, the Texas political rivals who are locked in one of the tightest and most heated midterm races in the country, will face off Friday night in the first of three debates, as Mr. Cruz seeks to reassure worried Republicans and disrupt Mr. O'Rourke's political momentum.

In an auditorium at Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Mr. Cruz and Mr. O'Rourke will meet for an hourlong debate, starting at 7 p.m. Eastern Time. Mr. Cruz, who was a leading Republican presidential candidate against Donald J. Trump in 2016, is seeking a second term in the Senate. But he is facing a robust challenge from Mr. O'Rourke, the El Paso congressman who is trying to become the first Democrat since 1994 to win a statewide election in deep-red Texas.

It's Saturday morning, folks. Let's all kick back with a cup of coffee and share some cartoons!

Feel free to share political cartoons (no memes/image macros, though) in this thread. The subject doesn't have to be US politics and can be from any time. Just keep them political and safe for work.
