Ted Cruz vows to mock Trump at AIPAC for skipping Fox News debate
CNN ^ | March 16, 2016

Posted on 03/16/2016 6:18:08 PM PDT by VitacoreVision

Ted Cruz on Wednesday mocked Donald Trump for bowing out of a debate next week in Salt Lake City, and the Texas senator vowed to call out the GOP front-runner at a gathering of a major pro-Israel lobby group next week.

Trump said earlier in the day that he would not participate in the Fox News debate in Utah on Monday, and John Kasich quickly said that he wouldn't attend if Trump didn't. Later on Wednesday, Fox News formally canceled the event.

Trump said he would use his time instead on Monday to address a conference hosted by the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, the prominent pro-Israel group. Cruz's campaign said in a statement Wednesday that Cruz would use his time at the same conference to "highlight Trump's positions -- or lack thereof -- in front of the thousands of AIPAC members in attendance."

"Let's be intellectually honest about what's going on here -- Donald Trump is scared to debate Ted Cruz next week,"

Well, it is Trump who cannot debate like a grownup. Who keeps interrupting people.

Who violated debate rules by making a phone call during the debate and then coming back with a lie about a Better Business review of Trump University which BB immediately disavowed.

You should research Ted, after the Sea Island confab he took on Neil Bush, Yebbs brother. Neil was up to his eyeballs in the corruption at Silverado Savings and Loan theft.

Cruz is in the GOPe’s pocket

Cruz sees a road to victory and he’s in on it.

Yesterday Trump came away with 193 delegates. Cruze, 84.

Some road...

What a sleaze...Does Cruz have anything to offer other than his attacks on Trump??? That’s all Cruz’s debates amount to...

Dude Trump doesn’t need a 13th...14th debate. He is winning and on his way to the nomination. Why in the world would he waste more time with the two clowns Cruz and Kasich? If you haven’t noticed his plan was/is much more effective than either the postman’s or the Canadian’s plans.

Thanks. I try.

What I have noticed is that nobody can or will respond to anything I say.

Nobody has responded about Trump’s pro-abortion stand.

Nobody has responded about Trump’s stand on Israel.

The trumpers are content with shouting baseless, classless insults about Cruz and about me.

“Everybody needs to back off and just shut it down. We’re all sick and tired of how you all hijack this website for your Cruz bashing. Get over yourself.”

Thanks,I haven’t laughed so hard in weeks.

“Trump’s channeling Romney again, another northeastern flip-flopper who backed out of primary debates.”

-—Bret Baier stated that Cruz was offered a Town Hall for the same time period but refused so Cruz needs to stop this BS - it hasn’t worked so far no need to think it’ll work now

“I hope that Ted stays in through the convention, because watching him get humiliated is very satisfying....”
***********************************************************************************
Yes, we ALL want him to stay in...I can tell by all the hateful (and fearful — the fear is palpable) middle school “mean girl” posts made in this thread. Yes, we ALL want him to stay in so we can enjoy the fun.

By the way, do YOU think that the delegates to the convention will be intimidated by Trump’s threats about riots if the delegates don’t elect HIM as the nominee? Do you think that those thousands of delegates can be as easily cowed by the Trump campaign as the ease and joy they had destroying the young CONSERVATIVE journalist Michelle Fields?

It’s funny how Trump gets accused of taking the level of discourse down and it’s rarely him. He just hits back way harder. Cruz, there have been 12 debates. I don’t think you can say he doesn’t want to debate you. He just doesn’t care to keep fighting those who are supposed to be on his team. He’d rather fight the Democrats

And Trump has beaten Cruz in every single debate...And now Cruz says Trump is afraid to debate him...That's a laugh...Trump will just hand Cruz a bigger shovel...

Cruz has no principles. He lies about everything and blames Trump for the Bernie mobs. His unprepossessing appearance, bad clothing and nasally voice only add to the revulsion.

Donnie looked like he was floundering, trying to make up excuses about Trump University. His face was red and flushed, and he was very nervous and defensive about this.

Pulling out the A card rating from BBB on a different entity to try and prove that he had an A instead of a D= was a real act of desperation.

Admit it Trumpbots, this was not his finest hour.

You trumpers are so emotionally invested in this unworthy scammer that I seriously wonder about your mental health when he loses.

I hope and pray we'll be fine. As a matter of fact, I pray that all here on FR will ultimately find peace and serenity as we go through this process.

Obviously, we all think it is quite important.

Our nation is divided, and on edge. This summer will bring us together, or give another opportunity to cause more division.

May God Bless all Freepers everywhere as we traverse this election process here in the US, and may God grant that we share in tolerance of each others thoughts and opinions.

In his name I pray for each and every one of us !

Brian

Cruz is a prick. Use a Israel conference to bash a fellow attendee/guest speaker.

Hopefully the conference attendees will boo him off the stage...

Same effect on Jeb Bush. At Christmas time, Jeb picks up a Monopoly game in a store and tells the reporters “See? I didn’t try to have a monopoly like Trump”.

Please, Jeb. You and your ilk been padding your pockets for a long time. Like when your Daddy was buddying up with Bill Clinton waaaaay back.
