An hour after a Ted Cruz-supporting super political action committee announced it would give $1.5 million to any charity if Donald Trump met him for a one-on-one debate, fellow GOP candidate Carly Fiorina jumped in on the action.
Upping the ante, I'm free tomorrow at 8pm, @realDonaldTrump. My campaign will give $2mm to veterans' cause to debate at Drake U. (2/2)-- Carly Fiorina (@CarlyFiorina) January 28, 2016
My campaign will also donate $1.5 million to veterans' cause to join debate Saturday in Sioux City, @tedcruz @realDonaldTrump (1/2)-- Carly Fiorina (@CarlyFiorina) January 28, 2016
The former Hewlett Packard CEO tweeted late Thursday night that her campaign would match Keep the Promise's $1.5 million donation to a charitable cause if Cruz and Trump let her join their debate in Sioux City, proposed for Saturday.
Fiorina upped the ante by daring the Manhattan billionaire to take her on one-on-one at the Thursday night rally he announced in place of his attending the seventh GOP debate, hosted by Fox News. Her campaign said it would donate $2 million to veterans' organizations if Trump accepts.
It is unclear whether Fiorina, part of the undercard debate set for 6 p.m. Central time, would skip the debate or fulfill her obligations with the Republican National Committee before heading to Drake University -- two miles away -- to take on Trump.

PING
Carly’s or a Super PAC’s money?
‘IF’ is a mighty big word.
Desperation
Carly who....??
So they have MILLIONS just lying around?
Like why does she care? I’m sure her money backers would rather she have used that money to not be spinning her wheels.
It’s against the rules to have an unsanctioned debate.
can she wear two bags on her head in case one falls off.. oh wait
How can Trump turn down an offer that benefits wounded warriors?
Establishment.......
That God for this article!! I was fearing that Snarly Carly was going to be one of the candidates who wanted to join Trump’s rally!
No way this tw*t is getting a cabinet post in a Trump Admin.
YUCK! She is Kelly without the filter, false eyelashes and bleached hair. Power-hungry, man-hater, IMO.
She should donate the $3.5 million to wounded ex-HP employees
Leading from behind again? That is definitely a Conservative Principle, we’ve all noticed.

There is not going to be any debate on Saturday.
Trump already has three events for Saturday, two for Sunday and two for Monday.
The pattern is full.
[It’s against the rules to have an unsanctioned debate.]
Carly is a woman, so she thinks as such, rules to not apply to her. Like pontificating long after the bell has dinged, or trying to interrupt when he turn is not up at the debate.
And to expect her to play by the rules??? Well that’s just sexist.
Carly is an idiot and she can't do anything either...
Trump is having a ‘fund raiser’ for one of his campaign issues he supports and that is perfectly legal to do so...it's with his family and the fund he has set up when he entered the campaign for the Vets and Wounded Warriors...that's all it is...
she’s far from being a twit.
It is interesting that this breaks all of the rules of the RNC. By rule, they would be barred from future debates. Makes sense for Carly to go this route.
