Ted Cruz Super PACs Offer $1.5M for Veterans if Donald Trump Will Debate Him One-on-One In Iowa
Breitbart ^ | 1/27/2016 | Matthew Boyle

DES MOINES, Iowa - A pair of pro-Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) Super PACs just offered $1.5 million for veterans if Donald Trump will debate Cruz one-on-one in Iowa before Sunday evening.

Keep The Promise I and Keep The Promise II offered up the sizable donation for America's veterans on Wednesday evening.

The principal donors of Keep the Promise I, the Mercer family, and Keep the Promise II, the Neugebauer family, in a joint statement released Wednesday evening said:

Senator Cruz and Mr. Trump both respect the veterans and hold them in the highest regard but Senator Cruz respects the process and we are calling on Mr. Trump to do the same and debates are the purest form of democracy. Iowans - and Americans - deserve to hear from the frontrunners in this 'two-man race' one last time. Not only would this be a heck of a debate, but it would also be a terrific opportunity to generate millions of dollars for the veterans.

The press release made clear the parameters of the pro-Cruz Super PACs' offer: The debate must be between just Trump and Cruz, must take place on or before Sunday Jan. 31 in Iowa, must be one-hour long, and the candidates can pick a jointly-agreed-to moderator themselves.

Cruz is trying to out-macho Mr. Trump...to out-mano a mano him, to out alpha-male him...and no one is paying any attention. Who cares? No contest.

O'Reilly gave it his all tonight (to the point of hysteria) to wreak his self-styled alpha-male bit on Trump.....and his clumsy aggression succeeded only in him making a consumate ass out of himself.

Trump is 38 million under budget - he could double that without batting an eye.

FACE PALM. Both the "Mercer family" and the "Neugebauer family" are HEDGE FUND managers. Ted Cruz is the candidate Wall Street purchased.

Isn’t that against the law?

I was thinking the same thing. Ted seems to have an overly large amount of contact with his PACs. Ted isn’t too TrusTed when it comes to disclosure.

He did at the Glenn Beck rally too.

Nope. The Cruzers have really ticked me off.

We were told back at the “pledge” time that unauthorized debates were prohibited. If Trump would agree he would be in trouble, but Cruz could say it was all his PAC and disavowal any connection. This could evolve into yet another trap

If they do, they lose all chances to participate in any more debates.

This is grandstanding at best.

Then his PACs should actually donate to the Vets out of decency rather than try to bribe Trump.

A good point. Trump could match him and raise him another million or two and then reinforce his message that he self funds and Ted can’t even donate to veterans unless his donors ok it and fund it.

Because Cruz challenged Trump to a one-on-one debate at any time anywhere prior to the Iowa caucuses. That’s how they know he is available.

Learn how to format a paragraph and your response. A 5 year old could do a better job of presenting his ideas. And they would would probably be more reasoned then yours, but that is a different subject.

Just curious, how did the other candidates contact you? I’m in a primary state, so we mostly get phone calls and mail.

At least there are two young kids who haven’t been brainwashed by public education and popular culture yet. I hope it’s a good experience for them.

But it’s against the rules to set up your own debate. Ted ought to know that.

Is this Teddy's Sugar daddy David Mercer's PAC ? Mercer is the New York Hedge Billionaire who has a 6 to 10 billion IRS Overseas Tax Scam problem that he hopes Cruz can help make disappear. /> Mercer , the New Yorker Billionaire PAC is funding those ‘Let's get those God damn New Yorker insulting - Hokey Trump attack ads.
And yes , the legal genius Ted appears to be breaking the laws governing the coordination between Candidates and PACs .
But considering Ted's SEC filings for his Senate race and the Goldman Sachs -Citibank filing oversights shows he thinks only little people have to follow laws etc...

As a Viet Nam vet it would show me that Trump is walking the talk, but he is to scared to accept. Trump is as fake as his fake hair. Hide Trump, hide....

The lawyer in Cruz is coming out like a snake! Technically Cruz is not violating any rules. Lawyers are bad news. They make awful presidents.
