...No thank you, give me a businessman who has built a real estate empire over a 30 year career as a doer, over a slick talker, any day of the year. Very well said! The truth is that Cruz is not a very good lawyer: he just proved it with his foolish remark to Levin saying Trump is "scared" to do the Fox News debate. Trump scared to debate? Who's going to believe that, especially since Fox News was jerking his chain? No, Trump did the kind of bold and courageous thing that real leaders do. Besides, a smart lawyer would never intimidate an opponent like that. Even if Cruz was right, it's a poor strategy because he's turned the advantage to Trump. People will feel Cruz was being unfair. Juries -- and voters -- notice these things. Another point: why is Cruz asking for a one-on-debate? There are several other candidates running for the GOP nomination. Did he think about them? Would it be fair for Trump to only debate Cruz? Finally, Trump is not someone who lets insults pass without a counterpunch. Wouldn't be surprised to see a few Twitter spears flying in Cruz's direction tomorrow morning. So bad judgement all the way around for Cruz. He has definitely lost my trust in the last month. If he should get the nomination and clear his "natural born" status, I would still vote for him, of course, but my backup choice to Trump is now Carson. |

“Another point: why is Cruz asking for a one-on-debate? There are several other candidates running for the GOP nomination. Did he think about them? Would it be fair for Trump to only debate Cruz?”
Trump had little “debate” experience before the Republican debates, and thus far there have been so many on stage that exposure has been very limited. Going one-on-one would be very good practice if nothing else - whether you are for or against him. Dropping out of the debates will leave him unprepared for the give and take repeatedly for two hours that will occur this fall. Very foolish move, in my opinion. Yes, other candidates should still be involved at this point, but Trump was the one who pulled out of debating against a full panel.
