Second Beto O'Rourke-Ted Cruz debate postponed

There are ten Democratic Senators in red states up for re-election. McConnell kept these senators in Washington for most of August so that they could not campaign for re-election. This is a shitty trick but is consistent with normal GOP tactics. Now the House has recessed until after midterms but the Senate is still in session. Again McConnell is trying to screw Democratic Senators in red states. McConnell is also screwing one GOP senator in a competitive race. Carnival Cruz was stuck in Washington during August and now Carnival Cruz had to cancel his debate with Beto.

An attempt to reschedule will be somewhat complicated by the fact that Cruz will be casting votes in the U.S. Senate for much of October. The U.S. House is set to adjourn until the midterms on Friday.

I wonder if McConnell is happy with screwing Carnival Cruz. Most Republicans hate Carnival Cruz and so sacrificing Carnival Cruz may be acceptable if it helps the GOP be competitive in the races for the ten Democratic Senators who up for re-election and who live in red states

Pure Speculation-Does anyone think that FBI is now vetting Trump's #2 nominee?

I would not be surprised to hear that the FBI vetting of Trump's second choice for this SCOTUS seat has either started or will be starting before the Friday deadline
