WEST DES MOINES, IA - Today, presidential candidate Ted Cruz invited Donald Trump to a one-on-one debate held before Iowa Republican voters caucus and make their selection for president. The event would take place at Western Iowa Tech Community College in Sioux City this Saturday, January 30th at 8:00 p.m. Cruz suggested the moderators either be radio hosts Mark Levin, Sean Hannity or Rush Limbaugh, or that the format simply be questions from the audience.
"We owe it to the men and women of Iowa to ensure that they hear jointly and directly from the two leading Republican candidates so that they may contrast our positions on the critical issues we face as a nation as they make their final choice leading up to Monday's caucuses," said Cruz.
The venue has already been reserved and the Cruz campaign anxiously awaits a response from Donald Trump.
The full letter from Cruz:
January 27, 2016
Dear Donald,
We owe it to the men and women of Iowa to ensure that they hear jointly and directly from the two leading Republican candidates so that they may contrast our positions on the critical issues we face as a nation as they make their final choice leading up to Monday's caucuses.
Accordingly, please accept this invitation to join me at an in-person, two-hour Town Hall event at Western Iowa Tech Community College in Sioux City this Saturday, January 30th at 8:00 p.m. Central. This venue is already reserved and I would propose that our campaigns evenly divide available seating/ticketing. Our teams can jointly work on the logistical details.
Additionally, I propose one of the following three individuals serve as a Town Hall facilitator: Mark Levin, Sean Hannity or Rush Limbaugh. If none of these proposed individuals are acceptable to you, I suggest that instead we alternate in fielding direct questions from the audience.
I look forward to your timely response.
Ted

Even this letter written like a damn lawyer. Of course Cruz would like his buddy Levin to moderate. Maybe his future step son could help.
Tell you what we can do that is practical.
You say he won’t be at the debate, I say he will. Whoever is wrong will donate that 10 bucks or we can make it $25 to FreeRepublic.
Now I ain’t talking about a one on one debate with just Donald and Ted, the bet is on the FNC debate Thursday night. Deal?
Thanks for the heads up. Some of the Cruz fans are so rude and accusatory. Haven’t seen the poll threads.

I love it! I accept your conditions for the bet, and I’m game for $25.00!
BTW, I really think you’re really on to something too! I can see your betting scheme used to “settle” tons of disputes at FR, AND FR ALWAYS benefits, no matter who loses the bet!!!
Your truth is about to come to you tonight. Cruz is going to be asked some questions by those faux Americans. Listen very carefully and see if you can decipher a clear answer from the politispeak.
“Dear Donald. Thanks for providing political cover for me for 7 months while I stood on the sidelines agreeing with you. However, my New York handlers (btw, sorry about that values crack lol) say it’s time I flew solo and try to win a single state or their money will run dry. So please pretty please do an event with me :) I promise my friend Mark Levin will be fair and balanced, unlike Fox (don’t tell them I said that). Mark says he can sleep on the couch for a few days if his chick gets mad lol”
Oooooooh, not the sacred RNC rules!
Weren’t they supposed to have at least one debate with a real conservative moderator? Weren’t we told that by Rinsed Pubis?
Oh, but he IS the law! All hail GOP-e!
Dang, I held out until the cameras started rolling......
Whoda thought I’d be let down by Trump?
Here ya go. $25
Thank you for your contribution!
