As news spread of Donald Trump's intention to boycott the Republican debate this Thursday, Ted Cruz's national press secretary tweeted out that the Texas senator wished to challenge the GOP frontrunner to a "mano a mano."
Cruz made the remarks to Mark Levin on his radio show Tuesday night. "If Donald is afraid of Megyn Kelly," Cruz said, "I would like to invite him... to participate in a one-on-one debate, between me and Donald, mano a mano."

Cruz made the remarks to Mark Levin on his radio show Tuesday night. "If Donald is afraid of Megyn Kelly," Cruz said, "I would like to invite him... to participate in a one-on-one debate, between me and Donald, mano a mano."
Cruz floated Sean Hannity and Rush Limbaugh as possible moderators -- but he also said he'd be willing to take him on with no moderator at all, should Trump prove to be afraid of all those people too.
He pondered how Trump could be commander-in-chief if he was "terrified of a TV host."

Good list. It’s not that hard.
Rush is wrong. We CAN do this at home.
Cruz is desperate .. Beck destroyed any chance Cruz had
Which one ran away and is hiding?
Cruz is using Trump as a punching bag now. And Trump deserves it.
LOL!! Trump kicked CRuz’s rear off the stage after CRuz neutered himself on live tee vee, at the last debate.
Cruz further disabled himself by taking that silly oath with wacko Beck.
The debate floor is now being mopped with what remains of CRuz.
Trump is, once again, owning the media and little Ted is trying desperately to flap an arm up for a life line.
It ain’t working.
It is looking more and more like Trump is a master baiter.
-— but Trump is the consistent steady hand at the wheel .. -—
Now THAT’S the funniest thing I’ve read in a while.
“Bloviate”? Seriously? If you were the least bit objective you’d recognize that Ted Cruz, whether you like him or not, is one of the few people who don’t bloviate and sticks to issues of substance. I suppose you think “big, really big” and “great, really great” are insightful comments.
About the ONLY thing that would cause Trump fans to ditch him would behis taking Cruz for VP.
Which one is trying to stay relevant by grasping at Trump’s complete ownership of the media??
What ‘fight’? Senator Cruzman Sachs and his desperate ‘me too’ bid for attention? Let him debate Glenn Beck.
Cruz had his chance and blew it .. a smart man like Trump doesn’t walk into a trap .. it’s called survival and winning, just like he will do for the country ... nice try though
He’d still have bigger balls than Trump, who is nothing but a loud mouthed bully. This is what happens when a bully gets stood up to, they ran away with their tail between their legs.
It’s looking more like Ted Flanders’ debate skills are overrated.
Trump Landslide in Iowa

“mano a manoâ€
I’m not sure it’s a good idea for Cruz to imitate Jeb and Rubio with talking to people in Spanish. Plays right into Trump’s hands.
Do you drink water? I’m not sure it’s a good idea for you to drink water. Serial killers drink water. If you drink water it might just play in to someone’s hands.
Laugh all you want ... the fact still stands and the majority agrees
So then is Trump going to refuse all the general election debates too? Or is he expecting nice, respectful, loving moderators from ABC/NBC/CBS/CNN?
” bringing Trump’s mom into the debate sealed Cruz’s fate ...Trump is old school , you don’t pull crap like that on someone like Trump “
You make it sound like Cruz called Trump’s mother a crack whore. All I heard him say was that by the logic of some of the “birthers” Trump wouldn’t qualify as a Natural Born Citizen either because his mother wasn’t born in the U.S.
If I missed any other name-calling, fill me in.
If Donald can’t handle name calling he doesn’t know what he’s in for. And now it seems he’s so afraid of Megyn Kelly he’s backed out of the upcoming debate.
Full disclosure, I have some professional experience doing debate prep.
Yeah? You mean like at the last debate when the ‘brilliant’ Cruz got creamed by Trump AND Rubio? Cruz is a eunuch.
