True but Trump will want an official phone call from Cruz. That is how a businessman operates. If Cruz doesn’t then the request isn’t taken seriously. All Cruz needs to do is pick up the phone. Hearing it on some radio show that Trump may not even listen to especially now is probably not enough of an invitation for him. Perhaps Thursday night if Cruz would drop out of the debate would be the perfect opportunity for this.
No, Cruz can handle Kelly. He has no need to drop out, nor any need to validate any other candidate’s ego. Besides, it would help him if he could land a damaging blow on Rubio. Rubio can’t win, but he can draw the “isn’t he cute” demographic. My own daughter, though I explained it to her and she’s a Cruz backer now. So Cruz stands to gain from either debate.
BTW, Levin said he knows the Trump campaign is listening to his show, so he also extended the offer directly to the Trump campaign. As for phone calls, sure, why not. But this isn’t twenty years ago. If Trump doesn’t at least respond to the offer through social media or something, lots of folks are going to read that as a big yellow stripe down his back. That’s how I’d see it. Interesting to watch how this plays out. :)
