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

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 is desperate .. Beck destroyed any chance Cruz had

You are seeing the difference in a real man and a whiny-baby bully.
70% of us do not see DT as presidential material. What do we see that you don’t?

Against RNC rules. Other candidates would expect equal time.


Where to get good legal advice, I wonder.

I wonder how many of the other candidates will bail out of the debate?

Shouldn’t have ended that with “NYAH-NYAH-NYAH-NYAH-NYAH?”

Yes, not sure what he was thinking getting in bed with Beck.... I understand you take the support you can get, but you can politely accept someones support without turning yourself into a circus act...

Ted does not want to debate either. Waste of time. They did it 6 times already.

Six circus sideshows. What? You did not notice that?

Agree wholeheartedly and would even watch this one. IMO only those two should have been on stage during the last debate and that should have been the LAST one before the first primary. It’s getting beyond ridiculous.

“mano a mano”

I’m not sure it’s a good idea for Cruz to imitate Jeb and Rubio with talking to people in Spanish. Plays right into Trump’s hands.

They aren’t allowed to do this because the other candidates would want equal time.

And really I couldn’t stand listening to Haney too long.
