We’ve been over this again and again on this thread. Ted Cruz does not want to be on the Sunday shows.
Personally, I think he should—any publicity is good publicity.
But he chooses to not appear.
The only evidence that Cruz chooses to not go on the shows, is passing remarks by the talking heads tha tthjey have inviting him on, nad he or his people either decline or don’t call back. I don’t know if that is sufficient “proof” for you, but if Cruz had a problem with not getting enough press, or if he took the reports of “invited and declined” as lies, he could raise the issue on his own, during his rallies, at the debates, or any time a reporter manages to corner him with a question.
I cannot imagine and do not believe that Ted Cruz refuses to appear.
He did extremely well on Fox News Sunday. In fact, Chris Wallace was still reeling at the debate and I thought Chris was particularly snotty to Ted to try to get back because Ted kinda made him look foolish.
No proof.
But if throughout this campaign he is being shunned, I strongly believe he’d bring it up. He’s a fighter, and I can’t see him being silent on this issue with all his candor and outspokenness on all the other issues about the campaign.
But I am assuming this. We all debated it over the past few months on this thread, and came to the same general consensus.
I was keeping and posting a spreadsheet of the GOP appearances over the past several months, but haven’t updated recently.
We see that the press DOES have guests on a “rolodex” of sorts that they like to appear continuously. A lot of that is because those guests are going to say something the Left wants to hear, or are easily played, like McCain, Graham, and Kasich. But if a candidate wanted to appear and told them, and they refused, that would be a whole other story. Hopefully worth telling by someone.
Do you have any insight or knowledge about it?
