Cruz Takes Up Milano's Challenge on Gun Debate

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) responded to actress Alyssa Milano’s challenge for a meeting about guns as well as life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, saying he’s more than ready to meet her.

“I’d be happy to sit down & visit next week about uniting to stop gun violence & about the Constitution,” he told the activist. “If we can have a civil & positive conversation—in the spirit of 1 Peter 4:8 as you suggest—despite our political differences, that might help resolve the discord in our Nation.”

Careful Ted, DUHlyssa is packin' a couple of 38's. I wonder who will have a previous appointment on their daytimer? For whatever day and time. But, he already fell into the narrative trap by saying "gun violence". Wise up assclowns. Just like repeatedly saying the US is a democracy. STOP IT!

My money is on Milano finding some excuse to not appear.

"..despite our political differences, that might help resolve the discord in our Nation.”"

Ted is naïve if he really believes this.

“Careful Ted, DUHlyssa is packin’ a couple of 38’s.”

Yeah, they come nicely displayed, but so over used that they probably don’t work properly anymore.

Personally, I see this as a colossal waste of time and energy. Senator Cruz would get more of an intellectual challenge debating my dog.

Good grief, Ted, why waste your time? It’d be like arguing with a house plant, only less stimulating.

Ted still thinks he is relevant in the battle for America.
In some ways, he is morphing into GWB wanting to “all get along”

Lol! This debate will be Einstein debating the village idiot! Of course it probably won’t matter as the liberal media will declare Milano the absolute victor and replay clips of her over and over saying. “Like...we should ban guns...because they are...like...bad n’ stuff.”

So, Ted Cruz crushes her with facts, reason, logic, and historical precedent.
She breaks down and cries and calls him “mean.”
You wanna guess who just ‘won’ that debate?
Ted Cruz just signed up for a no-win debate.

Got to put some cheese on the trap. Her intelligence level is that of a mouse, so it should work...

He would eat her up but it’s in our best interests for him not to. Let her bring out the crazy without swearing. He uses simple words to remove the Ivy league sound.

Larry King format with commercials, 7 second delay. Who would moderate besides Jerry Springer?

Why should you get on a stage with a nothing, Ted?

One of Alyssa Milano’s first movies in her teens was........how should I put it.....a very adult movie. Not for me to judge. But the funny part was her mother ran around to all of the video stores trying to get them to take the movie off the shelf.

Don’t like Ted, but I wish him luck on this. It’s in defense of the 2A, so I want him to succeed.

The problem is, not one single Leftist will change their mind. Not one!

Milano will bring up “feelings” arguments, and may actually sway some Republican women.

I doubt many Leftists will tune in. Milano and Cruz, not a big draw sports fans.

Milano will make a number of bold feelings based statements.

So the Leftist media will cut those sound bytes and make a professional looking spot that will sound like five to ten really powerful questions why we should have access to gun ownership.

Folks may be swayed by this.

There is no potential up-side here, as far as I can discern.

There is room for downside.

In all seriousness, good luck Ted.

Giving this woman stature equal to a U. S. Senator would not have been my choice.

Letting her make gasps from the cheap seats would have been.

“My money is on Milano finding some excuse to not appear.”

Fear of flying was an effective argument for Professor what’s her name.

No Not at all
