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,"

I will respond to that question after you answer the one I asked in my penultimate post.

Cruz will mock Trump and then get the Rosie ODonnell ghetto beatdown in return. Is it really worth it Teddy? :-)

I already answered you question long ago.

I’m not going to even bother responded to you again, if you can’t answer the question I am now asking for the 4th time - have you ever been a supporter of Cruz?

Don’t answer the question, and I’m done, but it’s obvious to me you have an agenda.

You have not answered the question I asked. I don’t believe you can answer it honestly. If you could, you’d apologize for saying I, not Cruz, am the one calling Cruz a liar.

If you cared to read my posting history you would see that I was formerly a huge, massive, all-in Cruz supporter. It’s all right there in my own words.

I’m not going to repeat myself again. Look at post 471 on the very first line.

I find that extremely hard to believe you’ve ever been a Cruz supporter.

So you’re telling me that the “moment of truth” for you was finding out that Cruz was not telling the truth about his Gang of Eight bill statements? That’s such utter and complete nonsense.

Do you ever consider the fact that Trump has done a 180 degree turn on virtually every one of the issues, especially the social issues like abortion? Does that ever give you any pause about him? You don’t question any of his positions on the issues that he has changed on, but you question EVERYTHING about Cruz?

Don’t you think it’s contradictory to say he’s pro-life all the way, and then say Planned Parenthood does “wonderful things”?

Either Cruz was all in for the Gang of Eight—providing they adopted his amendment—or he was lying. He says he was lying. Do the math.

When you back someone as much as I did Cruz, it’s typically not one thing that changes your view, but multiple things. It usually takes time as well. One doesn’t go from being a gung-ho Cruz supporter to disaffectation overnight.

Well, you make it sound like it did.

And my observations about Trump?

No, you read into that I changed overnight bc that fits your narrative. Evidently that’s what you’re doing, anyway, bc I never suggested my disillusionment happened quickly, or that it was caused by just one or two issues.

You’ll never understand why I support Trump. If I explained it you still wouldn’t understand, so why bother?

I guess it is pretty unexplainable.

To a certain type of person, it definitely is.

You don’t stake out positions the way Trump has , unless you truly believe in them ...there were much easier ways for Trump to win , but Trump doubled down on Conservatism and it’s even pulling Conservative Dems back home ...

Broadly appealing charm is a rare quality. The more the Presidency becomes a popularity contest, the worse off we are.

So is broadly appealing repulsion.

Dude rubs a lot of people the wrong way.

I don’t know what to tell you.

Oh yeah, mocking Trump is much better than telling the voters what Cruz would do to solve the problems facing this country.

Well, one that first comes to mind is that Cruz keeps repeating over and over (even during the last debate) is that Trump wants to keep the Iran deal.

Trump has said from the beginning it was a horrible deal.

I can’t figure why Ted thinks he can stand there and lie repeatedly. Does he think no one will notice?

I personally can’t stand liars, so that’s a hard thing for me to forget.

Well you're just lucky that Trump is as winsome as a Summer's Day and more lovely and temperate to boot.

Hey, well, point taken.

Trump is an acquired taste, no doubt.

I still think, despite Ted Cruz making me real damn mad last night, that he and Trump should unite.

They are the cream of the GOP crop this season, there’s our two insurgent candidates as Hannity would say. So I say let them go take on Hillary for America. That’s our fighters.

If they do that, I’ll shut the heck up about whatever I don’t like about Ted.

Amen you couldn't ask for a better/worse opponent.
