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,"

He’s like a yipping dog. You can tell the Bushies have joined his campaign.

At least Cruz is good for a laugh. Trump, however, is smart enough to know that he practically has this in the bag now and he’s the one who already has the most publicity. Why should he give this extra opportunity to his opponents, especially for a debate tossed together at the last moment? He doesn’t get anything out of a scenario like this. Cruz’s taunting is certainly not going to convince Trump to give him this extra publicity either. Trump is already starting to shift more of his focus to Hillary, while Cruz has to figure out how he can accomplish the near-impossible feat of winning around 85% of the remaining delegates to get a majority.

I'm not privy to Trump's intimate relationship with GOD, nor could I care less, if I tried, to know if Trump understands the Gospel. "GOSPEL"...MATTHEW, MARK, LUKE, JOHN; ONLY? What about the whole Bible?

Jimmy Carter, one of the all time WORST presidents in the history of this nation, supposedly "understands" both Testaments; fat lot of good that did him or this nation.

I really regret spending two and a half years supporting this jackass. Cruz’s true colors are really coming out and he is nothing more than a reptilian shill for the establishment.

It seems the more time he spends with Beck the more juvenile he becomes. My God, this election cycle has been like a bunch of kindergartners wrestling in a sandbox.”

spot on. I agree. Cruz is a fraud

Sorry, I should have been more clear on what I meant by the Gospel. The Gospel is basically the "good news" that God the Father sent his Son to pay the price for our sins through his crucifixion on the cross as a sinless man and to reconcile us to Him through the forgiveness of sin so that we may have eternal life with Him.

What is the Gospel?

The Roman Road to Salvation link on my FR page covers a lot of the same information.

Cruz should use this at AIPAC:

Proverbs 28:1
The wicked flee when no man pursueth: but the righteous are bold as a lion.

FreeRepublic does have standards:

Should they be abandoned just because Trump is winning?

Do I hint a faint reference to avoiding a debate? :-)

As long if it's clearly done in jest. Just be careful not to apply scripture out of context.

It’s all he’s got left. He’s turning out to be more pathetic than Rubio. At least he went out with a dignified speech.

OK. So what he said about the Gang of Eight bill was a lie.

But have you asked yourself WHY?

He intended for his amendment to the Gang of Eight bill to be a poison pill to kill the bill. This is backed up by Trump backer Jeff Sessions and even Charles Schumer, who both says he was the biggest opponent to the bill.

So, let me get this straight, because I’m not sure I have this right.

You’re upset that he was lying about supporting the Gang of Eight bill, which he really didn’t support? Is that it?

That’s got you hot and bothered?

I notice there was nothing else you listed as a lie.

I’m amazed that you would hold that against him, when by your accusation of this being a lie, you are implicitly agreeing he was against the bill.

Just out of curiosity, are you concerned at all about Trump financially supporting “Charlie” and all other liberal Gang of Eight members?

And yet Cruz continues to do it. Slumming for advise from Yeb, can’t quit talking about Trump, added Neil to the payroll, listening to McConnell, and you want to blame Trump.

It’s sad and pathetic really.

Where is his behavior any different than Trumps?

You’re right. I don’t understand your point at all, because instead of proving what a weasel Cruz is, all you did was prove he was against the Gang of Eight bill.

Maybe you need a stronger argument that actually has some substance for what you surmise.

Maybe you should go back to writing fantasy.

‘all you did was prove he was against the Gang of Eight bill.’

It cannot be proven that Cruz was against the Go8. At the time he said, twicerepeatedlyt he was for it. This continued to be his position until Trump made such support political suicide. Then all at once Cruz announced that everything Cruzhe’dd previously was a lie.

A, how can ANYONE lie as sincerely, earnestly and effectively as Cruz claims he did? B, when a person admits to lying on a large and ongoing scale, how can you ever know for certain when that person is actually telling the truth?

Kasich and Cruz also skipped the debate even though it would have given them extensive exposure that they need much more than Trump.

And you believe EVERYTHING that Trump tells us the absolute Gospel truth?
