As news spread of Donald Trump's intention to boycott the Republican debate this Thursday, Ted Cruz's national press secretary tweeted out that the Texas senator wished to challenge the GOP frontrunner to a "mano a mano."
Cruz made the remarks to Mark Levin on his radio show Tuesday night. "If Donald is afraid of Megyn Kelly," Cruz said, "I would like to invite him... to participate in a one-on-one debate, between me and Donald, mano a mano."

Cruz floated Sean Hannity and Rush Limbaugh as possible moderators -- but he also said he'd be willing to take him on with no moderator at all, should Trump prove to be afraid of all those people too.
He pondered how Trump could be commander-in-chief if he was "terrified of a TV host."

Im in it for Trump, and I dont believe it would hurt him. However it would be a spectacle to behold. The audience would be Yuge. I must admit I have enjoyed all the debates.
The Cruz one liner that always makss me laugh is “ I will build a wall, and have Donald Trump pay for it.”
Go Trump
Trump ran away.
Good luck spinning it.
But even he isn’t stupid enough to go through with it. He’ll come back, make up a new story and declare victory.
I guess you missed Trump’s statement....

“He will not be participating in the FOX News debate and will instead host an event in Iowa to raise money for the Veterans and Wounded Warriors, who have been treated so horribly by our all talk, no action politicians. Like running for office as an extremely successful person, this takes guts and it is the kind mentality our country needs in order to Make America Great Again.”
Okay. We’ll see.
Cruz can bring a book and read to his daughters.
Don-O, she said “US”.
I asked where she got that 70%.
Look, Trump will not debate Cruz. It serves no purpose. It elevates Cruz to Trump’s level. And it allows Cruz to bring up a subject nobody has ever heard of and, let it linger through the weekend.
The debate is not in Trump’s interest at all. Trump wants to spend the next several days holding rallies in Iowa and giving speeches. Why should he spend a few days prepping for a debate against 7 other people who have all prepped to take down Trump. A total waste of his time. And nobody is going to watch a debate that Trump isn’t at. Now all the other candidates are just going to say that Trump is a coward for skipping the debate and nobody will watch to hear it.
This debate was everybody’s last chance to kill Trump in the polls. Lets look at a list of people who want to take down Trump: Fox news, especially Megyn Kelly, All the other candidates, All the rest of the MSM, The republican elite, and all the big money that is backing the other candidates. And they are all counting on this debate to throw out some outrageous accusation, a kill shot, and spill it over the airwaves for the next 10 days.
You fanbois are amusing.
If Trump was a Lib, he would be running in the Dim primary .. if Trump was a Lib , why are the Libs and Dims totally in a panic at the prospect of Trump ... answer it
“Trump ran away and is hiding. “
He’s doing what supposed “real conservatives” have been demanding in previous elections.
No longer just accepting the “debates” as the press presents them, and telling them to shove it.
Just today, you guys all of a sudden LOVE the media.
I’ll send you guys some Vaseline because you’re so “brave”.
” .. Cruz is not eligible.”
Article II, Section 1 of The Constitution states that a natural born citizen can only run for POTUS, but it does not clarify what that means.
Can you point to a relevant part of The Constitution that clarifies the issue? If not, is there a SCOTUS decision that does?
If, as I suspect, your answer is no, you might consider the idea that you are pulling stuff out of your a@@.
Have fun with that. It’s not my thing. I am a constitutionalist.
What is up with you folks backing the MSM?
It beats anything I’ve ever seen in a Conservative camp.
Not in my life have I see anyone who thought of them self as a Conservative back the MSM against one of our candidates.
No spin...just reality.
And that, my friends, is one reason Trump calls Cruz....nasty
Saying Trump is afraid of Megyn is childish and nasty!!!!
Trump bragged about screwing married women. Do you think that’s “nasty” Guenevere?
Trump is a lot like Bill Clinton!
