If Ted Cruz is the candidate, Hillary will refuse to debate him. That would be a wise decision by Hillary. Ted Cruz would refuse to play the game of the moderator (liberal shills such as “Sud Dulce Crawley.” Cruz would take Hillary apart in honest debate. Hillary will not accept an honest debate, thus she will not debate Cruz.
I’m guessing that she will try to run a “Rose Garden” Campaign, w/o being in the Rose Garden-insulated by a phalanx of selected media operatives. So, depending on the status of the race, I could see her trying to avoid any confrontation.
But, I’ve be very surprised if she could avoid a debate- though I agree with you that she would not want to debate Sen. Cruz—— who would?
