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 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."

Cruz supporters = Side with the press. Hope that their is some great up-swell in sympathy for Fox that will trickle down to little Ted because he stood with them.
People look at Trump tell the press to get lost, and they will side right with him.
Oh yeah, Cruz is a tough guy.
This has outed the Cruzbots for exactly the slimy hypocrites they are.
He’s certainly tougher than Trump.
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.
Besides, the total joke is the guy who got pantsed in the main hall of high school and didn’t get laid until he was 27.
Alright “mariner,” we understand you had some unpleasant teen years and you are socially awkward around women. However, this is irrelevant concerning the issue at hand.
What?! Is he a billionaire or something? Who would have suspected?
Sheesh.
Found the article today that pointed out if he would have taken the $500,000,000 he said he had in 19982 and invested in an index fund, it would have grown to $20 billion.
The stock market makes better deals than Donald Trump.

Cruz was going to win Iowa anyway. Now, Chicken Little Trump has his excuse for losing.
We will see next week.
That's because you still live in a la la land where a Televangelist with a honesty problem is the "true conservative," but the guy who has single handedly dominated the media and pulled the whole country to the right wing is somehow the "faker."
Televangelist Ted with his carnival side show of bull just can't win.
It’s Donald Trump that is running away from the fight like a little petulant girl.
Trump will be back in and better than ever as soon as that yeast infection clears up.
Fixed it. NO RNC debate has EVER had the ratings they've had this election, before Trump.
Trump has every right to ask for and expect a fair debate. Megan should NEVER have been allowed to moderate another debate after that first debacle. Fox had a chance to do a great, fair, conservative debate....and they BLEW it!!
Trump fired Mehgyn, since Fox didn't have the sense to do what is right...for ALL of the candidates (except Jeb and Rubio).
It is Cruz supporters freaking out about debate. Trumpsters do not care if he shows or not. Trump does not need it.
= 
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
“Please don’t throw me in the briar patch!!!”
You really are that stupid, aren’t you!
“Trump is, once again, owning the media and little Ted is trying desperately to flap an arm up for a life line.”
Running from a debate is not “owning” anything but a well-deserved label of petulant brat.
We’re not freaking out at all. We think it’s enormously amusing. I sure don’t care if Trump shows up or not.
Wow....a blog-writing quarterback!! Love it.
Loved this comment, from your link....
What do you expect from a website that glorifies socialism, this website won’t expose the corruption of the Clinton Foundation, a far more important matter than how Trump handles his money.
