After Trump Drops Out of Debate, Cruz Challenges Him to a ‘Mano a Mano‘
Mediaite ^ | 1/26/16 | Sam Reisman

Posted on 01/26/2016 5:37:14 PM PST by don-o

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."

It is Cruz supporters freaking out about debate. Trumpsters do not care if he shows or not. Trump does not need it.


Yet, here all of you are...freaking out over the debate.

Nice try little “Trumpette.” Dance some more for me I’ve got this crisp dollar bill for you.

Spot on.

See you back on the rally thread ;-)

We’ll let them alone to commiserate.

"Alright “mariner,” we understand you had some unpleasant teen years and you are socially awkward around women"

Look, you'd do well to stick to bashing candidates and stay clear of me.

Did you see me, ever, bash another Freeper?

What makes a noobie think they can post on FR and attack a senior member?

I'm thinking you need to choose one or the other.

Fixed it. NO RNC debate has EVER had the ratings they've had this election, before Trump.

Doesn't matter.

He saw a fight he apparently thought he could not win and ran like a little girl away from what he thought would be damaging to him.

What a leader!

A Stonewall Jackson he is not!

So you dispute the accuracy of the conclusion?

Hannity just said Cruz will be appearing in an upcoming segment on his show on right now on Fox.

“La la land” huh? One of the few places I’ve never been.

I realize you’re using “Televangelist” as a slight and an insult, much like Trump would. And, like Trump, I have to assume you, like Trump, Muslims and Democrats, haven’t much use for Christians.

Can’t argue that Trump has “dominated the media”, which isn’t all that big a feat for a celebrity and reality show star to do when he enters the political arena.

As for Cruz not being able to win (since Trump worshippers like to cite polls), you apparently haven’t seen the national polls that have Cruz doing better against Hillary and Sanders than Trump, but I’m sure that those aren’t sufficiently authoritative.

-— Trump will be back in and better than ever as soon as that yeast infection clears up -—

LOL. The man is unstable. He’s just made it abundantly clear.

And he’ll be back on Thursday.

Trump has every right to ask for and expect a fair debate.

He expects a fair debate in the general. There hasn't been a single general election presidential debate in Trump's lifetime in which the moderators weren't all in for the Democrats. Any Republican who hopes to win has to be able to beat the Democrat plus the moderators. If Trump can't beat the moderators now he either needs the practice or is admitting he can't win in the fall. In addition to being afraid of catching cooties from Megyn. Maybe that's why he sold the pageant; he became scared of all those pretty girls.

There has to be some other reason than Kelly that he is not showing up. I think it is because he will not win Iowa and needs an out.

Kelly was in on the national review hit edition.
Kelly was out to trick trump in her earlier debate
(so bad she had to disappear for a few days)
FNC puts out a smear piece earlier today.

(and seriously what is it with Kelly’s new plastic looking short hair cut?)

What about the advertisers?
This is pure art of the deal.
(a bad deal is a bad deal and not worth making)
